imschur Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Anyone have experience with this caliber? Thoughts on long term availability? DPMS is now offering uppers and rifles in this chambering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I saw a BUNCH of it last weekend at the gun show here. Not that it means anything, besides there was a bunch of it being vended... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted April 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 nah, I rarely sell stuff. Besides I love the CMMG logo ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Aggh, darn it. :(Well, I'll pat myself on the back for the effort anyways... <laughs>Seriously, I am looking for a good quality AR-15 style lower if anyone knows where they can be gotten inexpensively.

98Z5V Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Right here, Matt:https://surplusammo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=33&products_id=329&zenid=020792df7e8fcfc5a2bdd450689e2653I'm running an Aero Precision lower on my 14.5" gun. It's tied for 1st place as the nicest lower I've got, right there with a Spike's made by Mega Machine. It's a great lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Black Hole Weaponry Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I have stripped lower that I need to do something with. Im thinking alternate caliber or a dedicated .22 <dontknow>You want a 500 yard or 1000 yard AR?If you want a 500 yard, go with the 6.8 SPC. I have two and by god that has got to be my favorite caliber. Of course I haven't finished my 6.5x47 Lapua AR-10 build yet either but the 6.8 is a great hard hitter.If you want a 1000 yard plus try the 6.5 Grendel, or 264 LBC. Still super sonic past a grand with a 123 grain bullet. Something like 67% less drop at 1000 yards than a 308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Im 99.9 percent it will be the 6.8 SPC. is one more inherently accurate than the other at 200 yards and under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draco41 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 If the 6.8 is your choice, make sure it has a spec II chamber with a minimum twist of 1-10. the original chamber design had pressure problems. My 6.8 has a specII with a 1-11 twist made by the now defunct Ko-tonics. to bad they shut down because it shoots awesome. <thumbsup>check these guys out, I think they are the same people that use to be Ko-tonics/Cardinal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter545 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I'm with BHW, 6.8 is bad ass! I have two complete rifles and two more uppers in it and a Dillion 550B dedicated to loading it. We have killed a load of hogs and coyotes on my Dad's property with those guns. 110 HDY AMAX or Barnes 110 TSX is a death dealer. I like to think of it as the .40 S&W of the carbine world. It's not a .308 but if you want something light, portable and deadly it will do the job. I have shot past 500 with it but it starts to lose a bit of steam out there. Inside of 500, if you can see you can smoke it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWshooter Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 i think Midway has complete Bushmaster uppers in 6.8 on sale right now for $569. I was looking at one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
