Can you shoot 5.56 out of a 300 Blackout barrel?
Not safely. One of the problems with the 300 AAC Blackout is that it uses the same bolt as the 5.56x45mm/. 223 Remington but it holds a much larger bullet. The 300 Blackout’s cartridge dimensions allow it to be chambered in a 5.56 rifle just well enough to cause serious problems.
Can you put any caliber upper on any AR lower?
