Robocop1051 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Great find! I read that Magpul turned several machines over, to make the new LWRC dedicated 6.8 magazine. They are both part of a big overseas order. Looks like the 6.8 might survive after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmist Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yup, it looks like MP has finished their move, are getting caught up with organizational things, and back into production modes. I'll load up 25 rounds into an MP I ordered, and weigh it against one of the steel units I received with my Zastava. The MP AK units may be out there, but this was the most recent online "in stock" I could locate, AND flat rate shipping. 1051-is there more than one derivation of 6.8s? I'm relatively familiar with a Grendel, or was that a 6.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically there's three: • 6.8x43 (the original design, pre-SPC) • 6.8 SPC (SAAMI) • 6.8 SPC II (non-SAMMI, but considered better) If I'm correct, each upgrade can shoot all the previous chambers. Similar to how 5.56x45 can shoot .223, but .223 can't shoot 5.56x45. LWRCi recently released a new receiver, with a wider magwell, designed to use their proprietary 30 round 6.8 SPC II PMAG. I have no clue if this new receiver, or the new PMAG, will work with standard AR parts or smaller caliber ammo. So far, I believe this new rifle is exclusive to their overseas military contract, until their order Is completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 It's too bad Magpul never got into the 7.62x39 game for the AR platform. I would love a PMAG for my bean-flinger. I trust them a lot more than ACS (which is all I can seem to find) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibiwan Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 The 7.62 PMAG 20LR/SR is starting to show up too... picked up 7 in the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
