I custom built my 300BLK SBR. The powder is fully burned in 9.5 inches of barrel. I selected 10.5 for my build. There are tradeoffs on the gas port: pistol or carbine. Carbine can result in too little gas pressure with a subsonic load. Pistol gas port is pretty solid for subsonic, suppressed. My build is a carbine gas port placement.
My build is accurate and reliable. Much less expensive than the Sig. I did have to spend money on an NFA trust, engraving and a $200 tax stamp as well as submitting paperwork. Like most items in my collection, the rifles are just short of "new in the box" having been fired only to verify proper cycling and sight-in.

>>subsonic rounds are super quiet
If the marksman does his part, the pill will hit it’s intended target long before the sound from the firearm does, to a target that no longer has the ability to hear.
I also like the ability to hit something from five feet to 400 yards with reliability to destroy the target.

As former Navy, I just hope and pray that 99.99% of our active Marines hated this ad.

Agree—the Marines I met and worked on joint assignments would be absolutely irate over it—of course they’re retired by now. The Kenyan pervert and his demented stooge have done more to weaken our military than China ever could.

Article: "Both calibers of Rattler have a 5.5-inch barrel and receiver mounted to an AR15 style lower. At 23.5 inches with the aluminum foldable stock extended, the .300 Blackout version is half an inch longer than the rifle chambered in 5.56mm. Both weigh in right at six pounds." OK, so 5.5/23.5 inches makes sense (at least for .300BLK subsonic), but six pounds? Maybe that includes the can/optics/sling/loaded mag - or perhaps SIG very helpfully included a survival kit in the pistol grip, with a 24 ounce lead fishing weight...
