I'm looking at geting one of his 7in stainless barrels and just want some input before I take the plunge. :uzi2:

I've only got a few barrels out there and I know the answer is no. I think the better question would be to ask if anyone is having any issues or concerns with running the whisper full auto.
The issues/concerns that I see are with bullet geometry and neck tension, you do not have the feel of individual shots to feel that something isn't right.

I have been working on our 338 THUMPER™ on my M16 lower on full auto. I run the subsonic loads on the hot side to try to avoid getting a bunch of bullets stuck in the barrel. My biggest problem so far has been that with the heavier bullets the magazine spring can not keep up with the rate of fire.
