The Q Boombox 8.6 Blackout is a compact, semi-automatic short-barrel rifle built for shooters who demand firepower in a tight package. Chambered in 8.6 Blackout—a powerhouse subsonic round—this 12-inch barreled platform delivers serious capability without the overall length of a standard rifle. Whether you're running it suppressed, stacking steel at the range, or building a do-it-all truck gun, the Boombox punches well above its 5 lb 8 oz weight class. Direct impingement operation keeps it reliable and maintainable, while the adjustable folding stock lets you dial in your length of pull from a compact 8.375 inches (collapsed) to a full 13 inches (extended).
The receiver is machined from 7075 aluminum and finished in clear hardcoat anodize for durability without the weight. A continuous M1913 Picatinny rail runs the full top of the receiver, giving you solid mounting options for optics and accessories. The handguard is an 11-inch Q-Sert with its own Picatinny real estate for lights, lasers, or vertical grips. The barrel itself is 416R stainless steel with a 1:3 twist, bead-blasted for a refined look and topped with Q's XL Cherry Bomb muzzle device (threaded M18x1.5 with tapered shoulder for easy suppressor mounting). The ambidextrous AR-15-style safety puts control in either hand, while the Reptilia CQG-NB grip rounds out the ergonomics—purposeful and ready to run.
Out of the box, you get one 20-round SR-25 magazine. The trigger breaks between 3.25 and 3.75 pounds. Sights and optics are not included, leaving the top rail clear for your preferred glass. A suppressor is not included, though Q recommends their Porq Chop or Short Chop models for the job.
