Bravo Company Manufacturing is now offering a line of 300 Blackout upper carbines and upper receiver groups in Recce 16″, 12.5″ CQB, and 10″ pistol configurations and lengths. One of the greatest benefits of 300 Blackout ARs is that they utilize virtually all of the same parts and components as an equivalent 5.56 AR, allowing shooters to use the same magazines and accessories between rifles chambered for either caliber. This modularity extends towards BCM’s 300 Blackout uppers, which come standard with the KMR-Alpha forend.
BCM’s 300 Blackout line is built on their 1:7 twist 11595E Certified Steel Barrels. Both the bore and chamber are chrome-lined, and each barrel features a continuous taper profile “designed to optimize balance, performance and weight”. Additionally, BCM barrels lack the sharp handguard cap shoulder common on AR-platform barrels, the removal of which is designed to improve barrel harmonics and accuracy. The 300 Blackout line also includes the BCM Comp Mod 1 – 762/300 BLK.
BCM Gunfighters Travis Haley and Tom Spooner has this to say about 300 Blackout:
My main requirements in a combat round are versatility and recoil control. In testing 300 Blackout over the years, I have found it performs from CQB range out to, and exceeding, 500 meters. Despite having a slightly more potent impulse, the recoil is still manageable, which means a shooter can engage threats quickly and, given the increased mass, more efficiently.

The ability to have the power of a .30 caliber round, with minimally increased recoil over a 5.56×45 round in a sub 10 inch platform is ideal for most soldiers in Direct Action units. As fielded, in an AR pattern carbine, the operator is already familiar with the operating system and ergonomics of the weapon.
