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. :

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…

Best regards, _________ "

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?

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