300 AAC Blackout manufacturer!!
 

Was at the range this week and got to see a 300 blackout in operation. turns out the guy shooting it is a manufacturer of tactical weaponry. the name of his business is Triton Arms. He had a prototype up and running and says he looks to be taking orders VERY VERY soon. All i can say is , I WAS VERY IMPRESSED! anyhow after talking to him for several hours i mentioned this site to him and he said he would drop by and visit us! Seems like hes got big plans. i wish him all the luck. after all from what ive been reading there dont seem to be many up and running this caliber and making it READILY available. :uzi2::

LMT and CMMG announced products this week.

looked at lmt and cmmg sites and didnt see anything about the blackout. where is this info posted? and what are their prices?

This is a photo from the 2011 LMT catalog. I think they are MRP barrels.

CMMG said it will be on their website soon.

I got permission to quote some emails from LMT:

"As long as you keep my name out of it, I don’t mind. However please note that the information I supplied is subjective and subject to change based on outside factors…

Also one ARFCOM thing you can clear up for me as I have already seen some LMT bashing about the .300AAC as I do watch the forums for outside input to our company. We will be chambering in the 300AAC Blackout and not the 300 Whisper....

... I expect the .300AAC Blackout to be out about mid-2011 unless R&D goes faster than anticipated, but securing the ammo needed for final approval will be a bit hard to do as we generally will go through about 100K rounds before we give the full release to a barrel type for production.

For the MWS I think they are doing them in sets of 2. Here is the order I think we will go in but its subject to change…

.243 Winchester & .260 Remington will be first

.338 Federal & 7mm-08 Remington will be second

6.5 Creedmore will be last…

I say that because I know what ammo we currently have in house for testing…

Ive done 3, 300AAC thus far, am I a manufacturer too?:smile:

I know of at least three other manufacturers besides myself that have not been listed that are introducing 300 Blackout producst at the Shot Show. I am working on some integrally suppressed Blackout uppers and barrels that two of the manufacturers are interested in.

I predict the one of the hot trends at the SHOT Show this year will be anything Blackout.

Are the barrels any of you have made so far all 1 in 8" twist, or are some going with a slower twist (1-10, 1-12) for supersonic only applications?

Joe

1-10 and 1-12 will work with subs if you handoad. 1-10 will stabilize a 190-220 nicely fyi.

HA!






I know of 4 or 5 that arenot listed, dunno why this is?
