Smith & Wesson took one of its most well known designs and paired it with an increasingly popular caliber to create the M&P15 300 Whisper. Though chambered in .300 Whisper, it will also safely fire .300 AAC Blackout.

The 300 Whisper builds upon the brand's established M&P line, offering sub-sonic and supersonic capabilities with consistent performance and accuracy. The 300 Whisper is easy to shoot, accurate and versatile—it's a comfortable fit when hunting, at the range for some recreational shooting or deployed for home protection.

http://www.hornady.com/store/300-Whisper/ Hornady makes them and I do suggest their ammo. Very hi quality and worth every penny not to mess up your gun with cheap ammo (it is pricey though).

Absolutely. A 300 AAC Blackout(300 Whisper)upper would fit any AR lower, uses standard AR magazines and the 300 has ballistics similar to 30/30 and 7.62x39. Great hunting round.

Another interesting concept. Can you put a Whisper upper on an standard AR lower, and would that 300 be good for white tail in brush?
