I am looking to change to 300BLK SBR and get a suppressor for my HD carbine so, should I ever need it, I am less likely to damage my hearing (which is an important part of my vocation). Eyeing the following options:
**Option 1) Purchase an integrally suppressed upper.
Pros: One tax stamp, easy to change out/revert to 5.56 by swapping to old upper, less worries about 29" OAL, never have to worry about leaving the can away from the rifle in an emergency
Cons: Can't use suppressor with anything else
**Option 2) Purchase 300 BLK SBR upper, can separately
Pros: Easy to change out/revert, can use suppressor with 308/5.56 rifles
Cons: Two tax stamps, must have at least 10.5" barrel
Seeking opinions. Are my thought patterns above correct? What am I missing? I am a Class 3 cherry, so please feel free to throw in ideas or shoot holes in my logic here. Thanks!
