I talked to Kevin the gunsmith frrom Ole's gun shop in salem about building a 300 whisper upper for me. I baught an upper and put down a deposit on the work. I ordered some dies from midway and purchased some once fired LC .556 brass. ( I first tried forming it from 221 fireball but the failure rate was way to high) so I picked up a mini chop saw from harbor freight and went to work making brass, loading ammo and waiting....Kevin called and I picked up the upper last week.  the thing was accurate hell but would not feed, Kevin worked very hard and and we both searched for answers on the web....Well I just came home from shooting this eve and he has done one hell of a job. The rifle shoots and functions like a dream!
Redding two die set  77.95
Once fired LC .556 brass $37.00
Having a gunsmith who knows his stufff anjd is dedicated to his craft PRICELESS!

And you don't even include any pictures

I know It sucks we lost our camera and have not replaced it yet....I dont have the ability to uplink my hpone camera................working on it

No pics....  then it didn't happen.  

Yeah, I saw that method shown on another forum.  I thought it was a neat idea and I bought one.  If you are liking yours, hooray for you, - but I must have gotten a lemon.  Actually it was the blades that were garbage.  They were exceedingly dull - I could not even saw through one 223 case!  I bought a 3 pack of extra blades and they were not much better.



So...

I say pics or

Double tap

TAKE IT BACK TO THEM i HAVE BURNED OUT 4 they replace them free....i get around 150 to 200 pieces cut off then returned the thing.... still easier than a tubing cutter!

Too bad I bought mine online, otherwise I would have taken it back.  I wanted to return it, but I would have had to mail them a letter via the post office asking for a return authorization, then I would have to ship it back to them at my expense.  I just didn't want to go to the hassle.  I ended up retrofitting an abrasive cut off wheel (originally meant for a muffler pipe cutter) and so now it's a mini chop saw for ferrous materials.

I see ,, I drive past the store on my way home so its an easy fix for me.

so what turned out to cause the feeding issue

We opened the gas port to .116" , I took a rifle buffer and pulled the weights from inside to make its weight = to a carbine buffer +/_ 1350gr and use a rifle spring,   Feeds like a dream!!
