Barrels for the 8.6 BLK cartridge line were initially manufactured by Faxon, as were lower receivers. Whether that company will be the only ones to build for 8.6 Blackout remains to be seen, but it seems doubtful. If 8.6 BLK sees anything close to the success of the 300 Blackout then other brands will almost certainly get in on it.8.6 Blackout . lava vape

8.6 BLK – what is it?
The 8.6 Blackout is widely spoken of as the “big brother” of 300 Blackout. The new caliber, developed by Q, completely re-imagines energy on target by using a faster twist rate – 1:3, compared to the popular twist rates of 1:7 and 1:8 for calibers like 5.56 NATO and 300 BLK.8.6 Blackout ammo
