After reading Colorado Osprey's post on Olympic Arms ceasing the production of .300 Fireball barrels, I gave Tony at Del-Ton a call to place an order for a flat top upper (I just got off the phone with him). Tony has only 2 post ban Olympic barrels left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are post ban stainless steel barrels with a black finish, and the barrel is not threaded for a flash suppressor. Tony said that the gas block is not in the "true pistol position", but it's close. He also told me that the gas port should be opened up and an adjustable gas block installed for everything to cycle correctly with sub-sonic loads. (Is this service or what!!!!!!!!!!!!)
My entire flat top upper in .300 Fireball with detachable carry handle and flip up front sight was $450. Can't beat that!!!
Service by Tony at Del-Ton was above and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony did mention that if the requests for the .300 Fireball continue to come in he's going to have to have .300 Fireball barrels made for Del-Ton. Until then, only 2 barrels remain!!!
