So...

There's no way I could have predicted just how impressed I'd be with this Kitty Kat- the only thing I'd say could possibly improve it would be a short-stroke gas system. Other than that- she's one hella sweet-shootin' pussycat.

I took 55 mixed rounds of Magtech 200gr FMJ and Winchester Super Suppressed 200gr Open Tip today for a "get to know each other" range session- and I've flat fallen in love with this fine feline.

I started at the 10yd line with five shots aimed low just to see where'd they go, and then switched between three different mags with five rounds each while moving from 10 to 15, 20, and then out to 25yds.

This little AR was accurate, 100% reliable, and extremely soft shooting... I didn't even notice that it had a blade brace instead of a stock on it.

Due to this Kitty's size, weight, accuracy, reliability, mild recoil/sound, familiar/simple manual of arms, and the ability for it to run full-house 300 BLK supers if need be- I gotta say this Kat has jumped right up into the catbird seat as my favorite go-to grab gun.

Our next range session will be to test more ammo (self-defense subs and a few supers), and also to try out some goodies I bought for her.

Here's what she did for me straight out of the box (just cleaned and lubed) shooting offhand from a seated/wheelchair position...

And BTW...

As I finished shooting, a guy started shooting his 5.56 AR pistol in the lane beside me. I brought my target back to the home position and was packing my stuff up when some movement caught my eye during the concussive blasts coming from my left- his muzzle blast was "unattaching" my target (I actively had fight my instinctive urge to flinch from the concussion of each shot he took)...

(yeah... my target was as flat as a freshly-ironed silk sheet until the knucklehead next door started up with his 5.56 pistol)

All in all it was an outstanding day at the range.😁
 
My first impression about the 300 BLK was that it was specifically designed for use with a suppressor, and I had no intention of getting one, considering the NFA regulations at the time. I figured that I would wait until some sensible legislation was passed.

Then I saw my box of .223 brass with split necks that was waiting for a trip to the scrap metal shop, and figured that these could be used to make 300 BLK cases. I also had a significant number of 30 cal. bullets for which I had no other use. Let's see - free brass and repurposing unused components. So I got a 300 BLK complete upper on a Black Friday deal. I put a 4X scope on it. It seems to be able to keep them in the 10 ring at 200 yards, and the 150 gr bullets are traveling fast enough to be detected by the electronic target. I have not as yet done accuracy testing, but I probably will soon. I can use this for practice, and club matches, while saving my match barrels.
