Went and picked up my Element yesterday so here are the obligatory pictures.

The Element on my Sig next to the AAC M4-2000.

Element compared to M4-2000.

M4-2000 on the 8" 300 Blackout upper I just built (Just to see what it looks like, don't try shooting a .308 projectile through a .223 hole. I have a 762-SDN6 on order)

Crikie! A .30 cal bullet out of an 8" barrel!? Seems impossible!

I've got my eyes on the 762 SDN6 and would appreciate a lot of pics when you get it in.

ETA: Mind my asking who you pre-ordered it through?

Cconn,

Nice to see you got them.

Did you build the upper yourself?

I pre-ordered it through Major Malfunction.

I wanted to buy an AAC upper, but they did not know when they would be available. So I bought the 8" barrel and bolt from Noveske, put it on a Spikes upper with a 7" Spike's BAR rail. So far it functions flawlessly with handloaded supersonic Barnes 110 grain TTSX. It will not cycle factory Remington subsonic ammo without a suppressor, but Noveske says as much on their website

I have built several lowers but this was my first upper. Pretty easy with the right tools.

Stamp came in so now I can finally throw a lower with stock on there.

From left to right. Fired 223, 223 resized to 300 Blackout, case after trimming, unfired 223, 300 Blackout with Barnes 110 grain TTSX, 300 Blackout with 110 grain Barnes SBR TAC-X, and factory Remington 220 grain subsonic SMK.
