That's cool Trent that does look a lot like the M4.

I am not that keen on a carry handle that gets in the way of optics or good sight picture .
On an AR 15 it's just eye candy I used to carry an M16 as a back up and an SLR 7.62 Nato at the same time . For home defence keep the gun as clean and uncomplicated as possible as you may have to use it in tight places a Colt Commando would be good.
On a heavy gun I like a side handle that does not get in the way of optics etc. This is my side handle design on an alloy chassis I built it carries in the upside down or side position and slides back and forth to balance the rig with different scopes and barrel weights . The photo looks like it's taken on Mars because it was 41 degrees Celsius that day . The rifle weighs 17 lb so you don't carry it too far but it's meant to be heavy to absorb recoil and movement .

The handle is cool I don't know why in this modern day the big manufacturer names can't put all the great features together in one gun. I think the Bushmaster ACR from what I read was an example of a gallant but failed attempt.You are right there mate but if you did run out of ammo you could beat them to death with that sucker. I was mainly just showing the side mounted handle .
.300 BLK really offers no to little performance increase over 5.56. You get a heavier bullet with better sectional density so it will penetrate a little better to a small degree. But you lose a lot of case capacity, .300BLK has little to no case capacity because it is a 5.56 case chopped almost by 35% and now you stuff a bigger bullet in it. And downrange energy is less than many loads in 5.56/.223.
.300blk will overpenetrate far more than .223/5.56. The only real benefit if you want to call it one. It will vary if it is a benefit mainly if you shoot with a suppressor. Is that .300blk can be loaded subsonic with a sound suppressor and is very fun and quiet to shoot. It is essentially the same thing as shooting a suppressed pistol cartridge though.
I've pondered a .300BLK recently since I now own a couple sound suppressors I can run it through. The one I shot was very cool in the fact that the trigger reset was louder than the sound of the muzzle blast. Honestly I'd rather have a pistol caliber carbine though.
It does make good hog medicine inside about 200 yards! I already have 6.8 SPC for that though!
