I have been thinking about it alot. Did you check out SSK industries or do a search at M4Carbine.net?

I have made quite a few 300/221 fireball barrels in ar's, savages, remingtons, and a winchester. The ar rifles can be tricky if the person doesn't have experience with them.10 1/2" is about perfect but you need a pistol or sbr for that, 16" is best if you want a rifle and of course get it threaded for a can.

I have a Win M70 stealth w/ suppressor from JD aka SSK in the 338 whisper and is awesome on varmints. JD is great to work with also.

FYI,,,,I had some work done at SSK years ago and J.D. was a great guy to deal with and the work was top notch..

If you go with the AR route, I prefer the pistol length gas system with an adjustable block. The whisper is capable of a WIDE range of bullet selection and speeds so one fixed gas port size is just not the best way to go. Make sure you get an 8 twist barrel if your going to shoot the heavy bullets subsonic. If you are going SBR you can get a long blank and make one 16" and one 10" out of the same blank.

Dillon makes a trimmer motor that mounts on top of a die with a vacuum attachment to pull all the shavings away. It takes about 5 seconds to turn a 223 case into a whisper case thats ready to load.

They are really fun to shoot even if your not going the suppressed route.

Think I will call ssk tomorrow and get one headed my way . Thanks for the input everyone.

Just saw this thread.... I got my AR barrel from Model 1 sales and was much less expensive. On the other hand, you get what toy pay for too. I bought it for the quiet dispatch of pests four and two legged (this world has gone crazy) as well as the occasional supersonic load for deer. OH? Did I mention it's very competitive at the local carbine matches too? EOTech with a Magnifier
