New to 300 Whisper but not to variants
 

Hi all

320Fp suggested this site to me.

I am on several other discussion sites and am looking at adding a 300 W to my collection very soon. Can anyone suggest who would have an 300 W upper on hand for sale? I have been told Del Ton and Model 1 but i am not a fan of model 1, I am going to call Del Ton tomorrow, their site however shows nothing for the 300 W.

Other then Reeds ammo, who else loads it?

Thanks to Quarterbore for a good site WITH fantastic spam regulation at sign up. I need to get that done for my own sites.

Looking to learn more soon.

Oly and model1 were the only ones stocking 1:8 twist 300/221 barrels that I know of. The Oly was what Tony used on the Del-Ton uppers but the last time I called they were out of them. The oly ported in the pistol position works better with a broader range of subsonic loads. The model1sales barrels are ported in carbine position and cycle only the heaviest subsonic loads but work well with supersonic loads.

Delton list the 300 whisper barrels as "300 fireball"...

Cold,
Don't rule out Model 1 sales!
I have one of their 300 uppers & initial supersonic loads are about 1" w/out tweaking anything. (only fired about 12 rounds total to get it sighted in & check operation of gun)
Haven't fired any subsonics yet as I won't get my can until this weekend & I did not want to "waste" the ammo by knowing that it would not cycle.
I ordered the upper "custom built" and after receiving & shooting it I realized that my AAC FH did not fit flush against the barrel shoulder @ the muzzle.
They had threaded it to 0.640" I think.
AAC specs 0.600" so I called them because I was concerned that I might get a baffle strike if everything wasn't square.
They said "Send it back"!
I did & w/in about a week I had it back ecactly as I needed.
They are now using AAC's specs for threading (at least on 5/8x24 threads).
THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCELLENT!
I'm now looking @ buying a 14.5" barrel in .223 & having them weld my AAC FH to it so that it will have a total length of 16+" so no SBR paperwork needed & it is the same animal!
Good luck w/your project & I WILL buy from M1S again!
