I see a lot of barrels for 22LR and 5.56mm cut down for SBR's. Is it much of an issue for 6.8? Several make 16+" barrels (Stag, Rock River, etc). Is that a common option? How about LMT's MRP upper?
Thanks. |

Thanks. ArPerformance has 14.5 inch in stock They also carry 12.5 inch but are out at the moment. Black Hole Weaponry has 10.5, 12.5 and 14.5 inch available Bison Armory has 8.5 and 11.5 inch in stock Wilson Combat has an 11.3 inch and 14.7 inch in stock Mad Dog Weapon Systems does some but is out at the moment These are your best 6.8 barrels in my humble opinion There are others Many choices in an SBR |

I checked ARP's site every other day for a month to get a pistol barrel. When I saw they had 10 12.5" 6.8 barrels in stock a couple weeks ago I jumped on one. Sure enough the next morning the rest were gone. Hopefully you wont have to wait too long.

I would not mind one of their 11.5" uppers. I will add the AAC 51T devices to it. I will have to see if I can order with out the YHM rails. I want to use something a bit different. |

You will be happy with a Bison barrel, Ben is a good guy with great products. Sometimes hes a little slow but he comes thru always. |

My 10.5" Stag 6.8 SPC. It started life as a 16" Carbine and it was cut down to 10.5" by ADCO. I do not believe any work was done on the gas port but I can not be 100% sure of this. I did not remove the Front sight and when I received it back it showed no evidence of being removed. It's quite a tack driver and really seems to love the 120gr Hornady SST's.
