I think the lovely gents at
https://www.nwcustomparts.com would be my first place to contact. I believe they do 300 BLK aswell as .223

"That looks suspiciously like the desecrated remains of a Mosin Nagant bolt body........."
Not sure the previous owner would have access to that sort of thing, I just thought he had made it up.
Whatever it is , it works a treat

If I was looking for an AR straight pull (I used to own a Steyr AUG, but don't hold that against me!), I would be looking at Lantac (
https://www.lannertactical.com/), Valkyrie Rifles (
https://www.valkyrierifles.net/) or Bradley Arms (
http://www.bradleyarms.co.uk/). Lantac does seem to be a long wait for anything if what you read is correct, therefore, seems to be between Valkyrie Rifles or Bradley Arms. Both appear to have excellent competition results.

There's also .50 Beowulf which Low Mills Range sell.
I'm opting for 9mmP for my next straight pull.
