Frequently asked questions

What twist rate does this barrel use and why does it matter?

The 1-in-3 twist is optimized for heavier 8.6 Blackout projectiles, typically 150-grain and above. This twist rate stabilizes subsonic loads that would tumble in faster twists designed for lighter ammo.

Can I use this rifle with a suppressor?

Yes. The 8.6 Blackout was designed around suppressor use, and the whistle tip on this model is threaded for suppressors. Verify your local regulations and suppressor registration requirements before assembly.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. Looking to Sell My Gun? Visit TacticCAL in Sunnyvale — we buy from California residents.
