Need info on Noveske 300BLK 8" vs 10"

[Barney88PDC]

Iknow this cartridge is kinda catching on and I think it might fit the bill for me. I am thinking about picking up a Rogue Hunter in either 8" or 10".

The gun is going to be used primarily with subsonics and at ranges typically within 100 yards. I am going to SBR it as I do not have a registered lower. I already have a Tigershark can so I am familar with the NFA process and probably will pick up one of the new AAC SDN-6 cans once they are on the market in a few months. Reason being I am concerned that my screw on might loosen up during shooting were the "ratchet" tooth of the AAC flash hider should prevent this, plus it would be shorter and lighter.

My main concerns are the reliablitly of the gun using a pistol length gas system without a variable gas block such as Noveske's Switchblock. I put in an email but have not gotten a response so I am hoping some of you may already have this system.

I did use the search function before and see that Dr. Phil has some good info and has a 10" Noveske barrel but not a complete setup. And there is a group buy going on so now would be the time to jump in on this.

So here a few questions.

1. Will it relyablely cycle the bolt without having an adjustable gas block. For all 3 styles of shooting ie supersonic unsuppressed, supersonic suppressed, subsonic suppressed. My main concern is subsonic suppressed as this will be the primary role. I would be pissed if I spent all the time money and effort to acquire this setup and it didnt run.

2. If anyone is in the know at Noveske is a switchblock in the works for the 300BLK and if so what is the timeframe.

3. Would you go 8" or 10" and why.

4. What is the weight of the 8" and 10" Rogue Hunter models respectively.

5. What is the FPS difference of supersonic ammo from the 8" to 10"

6. What would be the advantage of the more expensive Low Pro or Low Pro w/ VIS besides rail space which I will not use. I am going to KISS and just put a Aimpoint Micro optic and be done.

Thanks for any help you may have.

I have the Noveske 8 inch 300blk on pieced together rogue hunter (cost me $200 less to buy the parts seperate and peice it together myself). I have shot 110s with a velocity of 2150, and 220mk subsonics. My 220s are cycleing just fine suppressed and non suppressed even though Noveske advises subsonics will not cycle unsuppressed. I am using a standard weight buffer too. The only differance between the Rogue and Lo Pro models other than the rails is the Vltor upper.

Why would he need to talk to Joel?

b/c joel shoots the crap out of the blkout and is a wealth of knowledge on the subject, he also has had the opportunity to experiment with different lengths and runs the 8". i knew i was leaning toward the 8 and after talking to joel about the merits of the two (8 and 10) the 8" made sense. plus joel is a good dude.
