The BLACKHAWK configuration combines the adjustable BLACKHAWK KNOXX stock with coordinated Cerakote components for a distinctive custom appearance. Depending on the selected finish, Cerakoted components may include the upper receiver, charging handle, ejection-port cover and stock.
Cerakote shades can vary slightly between components because of differences in material, surface preparation and application. Product photography should therefore be considered representative of the selected finish rather than a guarantee of an exact shade match.

The 1:7 twist barrel is intended for the broad range of projectile weights associated with 300 Blackout, including commonly available supersonic and subsonic loads. Actual function and performance depend on the complete firearm configuration and 300 Blackout ammunition selected.
The barrel uses the common 5/8x24 thread pattern found on many .30-caliber muzzle devices. Suppressor compatibility must be determined using the suppressor manufacturer's caliber, barrel-length, mounting and ammunition requirements.
Why does this 16" 300 Blackout kit use a pistol-length gas system?
A pistol-length gas system is commonly used on 300 Blackout AR configurations because the cartridge has different pressure characteristics from 5.56 NATO. This BLACKHAWK kit pairs its 16" barrel with a pistol-length gas system as part of its dedicated .300 AAC Blackout configuration.
