I believe noveske shortest is an 8 inch in 300BLK if im not mistaken, though make a 7.5 in 556.As soon as I find a 7.5 Noveske barrel, I'll be starting my build...I hate awesome new fun calibers, they cost me too much.

esrice with shooter getting an upper in 300blk it looks like its your turn.

Why not just get a 7.62x39 upper if the ballistics are similar?
Does an 8" 300 BLK Noveske still give you enough velocity to knock some stuff down if shooting supersonic? I want it to beat the energy from a 5.56 round 100-300 yards downrange if needed.
1) 7.62x39 requires a unique bolt; .300 blackout uses the same bolt as the 5.56 / .223.
2) 7.62x39 requires unique magazines; .300 blackout uses standard 5.56 mags
3) 7.62x39 has a limited selection of bullets (.311 diameter) to use for the folks that reload; .300 blackout uses standard .308 bullets.
#1 and #2 alone are the biggest reasons, and #3 is the icing on the cake.
Picture of my new baby. Broke it in Yesterday.

Upper is a 16" CMMG. Lower is Spikes, VLTOR stock, MOE + etc. Shoots very well, and I'm really digging the CMMG handguard. It is very thin and light weight, and has rail sections that can be moved to multiple locations on the handguard to suit.

Nice looking rifle, what happened to the short barrel?
The 16" upper is just to tide me over until the paperwork and stamp come in for the SBR.
