Barrel yes, mags no. Although you can get dedicated 6.8 mags. I would say effective range is around 400 yards. Depending on bullet and load you could push it out a little further for hunting.
Do a 6.8 that way you can use your sbr lower. 6.8 will be more effective compared to the blackout at those ranges. Ar15perforance builds some great barrels and make a 12.5 inch one.
I am pretty sure it is always illegal. I might be wrong though. There might be a loophole, but for the average guy hunting in GA on public or private it is not legal to my knowledge. You can thank Mr. Knight for that one. Never did hear back from him on that.
I have hunted with Justin a few times as well. When I wanted to learn how to bow hunt he was right there willing to teach me. I am with georgiabow and have had the pleasure of hanging out and hunting with him and shooting the ****. I sent a PM wishing him a speedy recovery and I will say it here...
My mom just sent me this in a email. That is one massive rattler.

Yea Bold Springs is gone now. They moved there operation down to Houston County. My dad used to work for them in in Monroe and Houston. We would go fish, four wheel, and hunt there a lot. I miss having that place to go to.
Throw some corn or peanuts out. They love the stuff. They will still be most active before sun up and sun down. I have heard jello powder works as well. I would just start by throwing some food out every day or 2 at the same time. They will find it and keep coming back for the easy meal.
