I saw today that Ruger announced an SR556 in 6.8SPC II Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE:RGR) is pleased to announce the new Ruger® SR-556/6.8, a new chambering in the popular SR-556 two-stage, piston-driven, AR-Style rifle. The new SR-556/6.8 brings the power and downrange authority of the 6.8 SPC cartridge in a two-stage piston rifle that runs cooler and cleaner than traditional gas-driven, AR-style rifles. Packaged with one five-round magazine and two twenty-five round magazines, the SR-556/6.8 is an ideal hunting rifle for those who appreciate the versatility of the customizable and ergonomic AR-style platform. The 6.8 SPC has ample power for hunting medium-sized game, and the greater muzzle and downrange energy enhances the capability of the SR-556 in defensive or tactical roles as well. The SR-556/6.8 retains all the features of the original SR-556® that make it an outstanding value in the AR-style rifles. The patent-pending, two-stage piston delivers a smooth power stroke to the one-piece bolt carrier, which softens recoil, aiding both shooter comfort and durability of the rifle. The four-position gas regulator allows the shooter to tune the rifle to the ammunition being fired and environmental conditions present. A chrome-lined, cold hammer forged barrel provides accuracy and longevity, Troy Industries Folding BattlesightsTM, Quad Rail and rail covers add considerable value to the package, as does the Hogue® Monogrip®, six-position stock, sight adjustment tool, and the padded carry case, all included with the SR-556/6.8. The SR-556/6.8 maintains the mid-length gas system and the heavy (.850”) barrel contour under the handguard of the original SR-556. The 1:10 twist barrel has a standard SAAMI 6.8 SPC chambering, is 16.12” long, is threaded 5/8-24, and is capped with the effective and distinctive Mini-14/SR-556 flash suppressor. The SR-556/6.8 weights 7.75 pounds without a magazine. For more information on the SR-556/6.8 or any of the other rifles, pistols, or revolvers offered by Ruger, please visit www.Ruger.com, or see your local firearms dealer.

I got the latest full catalog. There was a pretty good increase in parts for the 308AR <thumbsup>

I try to keep you and 98Z5V motivated. At least Im trying to be easy on your wallet <laughs>

Madhouse they have one for you too

I seem to be collecting these things by accident. I have a Colt version which is different than the CMMG, I have the Spikes which like the CMMG is based on the Atchisson (Ciener) design and recently purchased a CMMG Sierra upper. I may have another complete rifle coming down the pipe shortly. Anyhow CMMG mags are Black Dog Machine. The BDM's are THE mags to get for these conversions. Ammo based on my experience and that of guys at my .22 site Federal ammo is the most reliable in any of these .22's whether AR's with conversions or dedicated .22's This might be fun

<lmao> Just say your holding it for a friend ;D

Im anxious for your report <thumbsup>

Pssst Tom http://www.tactical-life.com/online/products/zel-custom-magazine-fed-50-bmg-upper-receiver-for-ar-15s/?hp=products_title <munch>

Thats pretty cool, I have not seen those sights before

I think it should be fine

looks great man

Whats a PG conversion?

draco41 is correct. AR15barrels.com has a nice pdf that shows the relationship of the barrel, extension and bolt. Ive attached it too this post 852_.pdf

I have a set of Magpul MOE handguards coming for my CMMG Sierra

I think someone here mentioned using high temp engine paint on a barrel

Nice stuff. That .22 and .17 sure are good shooters.

Im just concerned that he will get the green light and there's no lowers to be found. Shoot he may end up buying a complete rifle. Than the boss will say she shoulda just let him get the lower when he wanted <munch>

It's actually been pretty neat getting emails from some manufacturers asking if I need info. We are growing for sure, should hit 300 members in a few days <thumbsup> BTW has anyone seen DNP? His parking space is growing weeds

I havent done it but I dont recall them looking to be constructed much different than an AR-15 magazine. If I think of it I will look at one tomorrow

but you might need to order it now, these things arent gallons of milk sitting on the shelves. Does that help your case? <lmao>

Welcome

Welcome <laughs>

Welcome Ivan <thumbsup>

What kind of fish are these?

Yes I buy the lower parts kits less the trigger from Fulton Armory.
