Looking at this caliber but not keen on 16" barrel, I believe Howa make a 20" but haven't found one down here.
Would like to hear what others are using and how happy you are

Started looking, Thinking a Mossberg Patriot and a 20" AR build ???
Curious if the standard 223 AR mags will feed reliably or not,
Don't see any 350 legend specific mags.
And these zombies line up and eat from the media’s trough

223 mags will require some minor modding to work well. You can find 350 Legend specific mags if you look. Might not find 30s, but 5, 10 & 20 round mags are plentiful. I built an 18” AR with a swfa fixed 6x on it and I really enjoy it. It is my hog gun.

An AR is only a wet dream down here in any caliber, but us oldies do remember the good old days.
I have heard little on the Mossberg how do they compare with Ruger

I dont think the cartridge has staying power long term. Too many new wiz bang cartridges coming out lately. In the next few years some will disappear

Only see it as a choice for the states here with straight-wall rules and the couple or three where .223 isn’t allowed for deer but guys want to use ARs. Everywhere else, there are much better choices.
Guess it’s a good pig round too, and low-recoil load for kids.
What fresh Hell is this?

I got an interest in the caliber for a hunt I do in Ohio every year but not crazy about available rifles offered in it.

I want one just because I'm a .35 nut in general. I'm probably going to end up with a Henry single shot, as there are no bolt guns for it that interest me. I'd cheerfully kill for a CZ 527 Carbine or Full Stock in it, but I ain't holding my breath...

Exactly my thoughts maybe old age but just don't like what's on offer, wonder how the 223 magazine on a CZ 527 carbine would feed the 350 legend round and would COL be ok. Seems like it would be a good conversion and maybe a 20" barrel

Ditch the 350 and look at the 450 Bushmaster, if you’re into to straight walled cased cartridges. The 450 is a much better choice.

Th 450 BM is a kicker and won't shoot cast in an AR. If you cant kill a deer with a 350, take up golf.

No thanks. I have seen poor results in the field. I'll take my 44 rem mag or 444 marlin for straight wall

16" barrel is plenty for getting speed out of them. They are pretty efficient. Mines a 16" AR and the only reason I'd consider a longer barrel is for more dwell time. Mines undergassed with the cheap 145g fmj factory stuff but fine with my loads and other factory ammo.

Johno Probably have to iron out the front ribs in the side of the magazine.

Few of us have been kicking my idea around down here, a friend tried the 350 legend round in the CZ 527 7.62x39 magazine they fitted but tight so one would have to iron out that ridge then someone popped up and said try a 300 blackout magazine as it has no ridges
This sounds like a plan, as I live in an isolataed area need some whon has some legend rounds and also a cz blackout to try them in
If anyone to run this test i'd be grateful
Johno
