After a 6 month wait I have 16" Fluted & Non Fluted & 11.3" Non Fluted Stainless Match Grade Barrels in stock. PM for pricing.
Any idea how the upper noted above is "Optimized for Subsonic Ammunition"?
I am not looking at suppressing a 16" .300BLK.
I was just wondering if WC was using a rate of twist meant for the heavy bullets and the barrel would not stabilize the lighter supersonic bullets.
It seems that the spec for the round is a 1:8" and that WC is making the spec.
Looks like I will be buying a barrel and then the parts to make up a carbine.
Drmsparks, thanks. I don't visit that site anymore. I will read that when i have more time.
Here's a follow up asking them to clarify (for reference, the 16" bbls I was asking about have carbine-length gas):
Chris,
The concise answer is the specific market segment we are pursuing is subsonic. There are barrels out there that are better suited to supersonic use, ours is not one of them. Rather than sacrifice quality by trying to be "good" at many areas we would rather be "the best" at one.
Thank You,

Do they include the gas block?
I was in there today buying a BRO lower to replace the HD Lower that I have and if I hadn't dropped $400+ on the lower and LWRC LPK I would have bought one. They are purty. Hell I may even buy one when I go in to pick up my lower next week especially if Mark offers me more chicken.
