Just get a 11.5" 5.56 upper and set the 300blk off to the side. The price will increase as we get closer to nov 2020. If you want to sell...do it then when the inevitable panic-buy kicks off hard.
How do you like the bolt action .300 suppressed? Is it pretty damn quiet compared to a semi? I'm actually very interested in that setup, even if I sell my .300blk AR.
Subsonics would definitely be the point. With no action noise it should be quiet as hell. But can use supers for game easily.

Suppressed 300blk in a bolt or break action is where it really starts to get quiet. I load subs with a pistol powder since there is no action or gas system to operate and it's even quieter that way. People have accused it of being an air rifle at the range. I used to have a 8.5" 300blk upper and it got sold after the break action came to town. I have a 16" upper that's never been used and doubt that'll change any time soon.
Sub bullets suck for serious stopping power. They are just an ice pick. Some expand but so what, a 195 at 1050 fps. Why not shoot a 110 at 2300 fps. I think a 9mm at 1000 fps is better, as those bullets are designed to expand.
It's a cool round, but subs and supers dont share the same zero. I wouldn't sell it but if a guy dont have one, it's not the end of the world.
Rifle caliber pistols make even less sense than pistol caliber carbines....Sell it

Something to consider dealing with my post here about the value going up on that 300blk upper...I've been tracking PSA uppers for a while now and basically bouncing back and forth between adult responsibilities and a 10.5" 300blk upper. They've been fairly plentiful, up even until yesterday. They're all sold out now. All the 300blk uppers. I know you remember what happened to the value of plain ARs in the leadup and following the 2008 election. The run-up to nov 2020 combined with the 'rona is probably going to make that upper much more valuable if you wait. Pickup the 5.56 now an wait to sell off the .300.
