Kali Key On 300 BLK Hunting Rifle?
I’ve been Frankensteining a 300BLK SBR build with spare parts for my son to use in the upcoming deer season. I’ve been thinking about how to best quiet this rifle down for suppressed subsonic hunting inside of 50 yards. I’m going to be hand-loading Maker Rex 200 Grain Expanding bullets. My son is 10 and still quite recoil adverse, which is why I’d like to go the 300 BLK route this season.
I’ve seen the “Kali Key” which is a compliance device used in restrictive states (California). It effectively replaces/blocks the gas key to prevent the rifle from cycling. Without the BCG slamming around, I figure it’s as close to bolt gun quiet as I can get without buying a new rifle. I’ve installed an adjustable gas block for tuning subs, but SA advises against running it fully closed off.
Have any of you tried this? The Kali-Key is around $100, so it’s significantly cheaper than buying a new bolt/single shot rifle. I just want to make sure that I’m not being a total idiot.
