Yes. A standard AR-15 platform with one exception. No dust cover. The brass is too big to pass reliably through the standard AR opening.
What kind of barrel are ya sportin on that?
Stainless bull barrel in a 1-8 twist for heavy bullets. Its a tad muzzle heavy, but that reduces muzzle flip as it doesn't use a brake. I have a thread cap on it now. The barrel is threaded for a future can.
I have another build in mind but have not been able to figure out what. The lower is built, and have a nordic semi-stripped upper on hand.
The two I'm looking at now is the .22 Nosler, and the .400AR.
The Nosler, shooting 77 grain bullets is 300 fps faster than the 5.56. Uses a standard 5.56 bolt
The .400 AR is a tapered wall case shooting .40/10mm bullets 200 gr projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 2,312 fps with 2,374 ft-lbs of muzzle energy (at around 50K PSI of pressure). It also reaches pretty interesting numbers with .40 cal handgun bullets. Particularly, it pushes the 135 gr bullets at 3,042 fps using 6.5mm Grendel bolts

I was reading about the 400AR last night. Interesting round developed for hog hunting. The AR platform offers more options than my wallet can handle.
In case anyone is into the whole DIY lower thing for their future builds, this might be of interest.

that's the cheapest i've ever seen an 80% lower. smoking deal is an understatement, thanks
Same here, and I'd be all over that if I didn't already have 1 completed 80% lower and another stripped Anderson lower waiting for me to build them.

I an new here but can anybody tell me if I have a .300 Blkout can I just swap the upper for a 22 Nosler or do I need more than that? Any help would be appreciated!
Others will be along that will know more. But, I think a 22 Nosler Upper will work with the AR15 platform but you'll need a different magazine than the 5.56 / 300blk mag.
