I am dipping my toes in the AR pool this weekend, a friend needs some $$$ and I'm buying his Spikes AR with a Shilen match 204 Ruger barrel.
I was reading about the 300 blackout round and an article mentioned all that is needed to convert a current 556 AR to 300 blackout is a new barrel. would this also apply to my 204 or is the bolt or BCG different? the 204 uses standard AK mags and visually the 204 and 223 look a lot alike (without a micro) until you get to the shoulder.
The "Fire" has always been a reliable source of good information in the past so I thought I would check here first.
It would be nice to know for the cost of a couple of barrels I could have the diversity. or would I be better off just getting additional uppers?
