Hi Guys,
I've started a Whisper build ... parts are mostly ordered at this point. Will have a 16+" SS bbl from tp555 with a pistol position gas block. It's final resting place will be Black Rain upper/lower pair that should be in by Thanksgiving. Will be delivered after CeraKoting with an RRA 2 Stage NM LPK. Have a YHM rifle length Light Rail with ladder covers coming as well as an RRA Operator's stock for it. Have a good milspec BCG for it. Two gas tubes (carbine and pistol length) are available to fit.
Ordering of little stuff will be complete by mid week. (GG&G sling mounting plate, Specter sling, forward assist, etc.)
Will need a recoil buffer. Is there any value in a heavy carbine buffer for this chambering? (Will be used both sub and supersonic and will eventually mount a suppressor.)
Expect to use a simple scope initially ... a 3-9x Pentax with ballisticplex reticle ... will have to save some money for nifty things later ;-)
Have cut 500+ pcs of LC97 brass already. Will wait to finish it until I can make sure the sizing die is set to put the shoulder at the correct place for proper headspace.
Could be a very interesting piece ;-) Will post pics as the build becomes real.
