Same lowers for both calibers, only 308 needs a bigger magwell. You can have 5.56, 5.45, 6.8, 22LR, 9mm (with a block), and plenty of other calibers operating out of the same lower you already have. Won't look any different and will run just fine. |

I disapprove of owning the fake AK round, but you can't tell the upper from the other upper.

Yeah I hadn't looked much into it really, was planning on making a .308 but I just don't have the cash to built it like I like it. This will give me a somewhat larger caliber to slaughter hogs with and a good round to set the kids up on some deer, bigger than .223 anyway, so it'll have to do for now. |

I have the AR-15, AR-10 and Ooops... I seem to have an AR in 6.8 too!

Don't mean to jack the thread, but what IS different on a 6.8 build? Do I need a whole different upper? Or just a different barrel/bolt combo?

Barrel, bolt, magazines.

or some thief stealing my rifle and putting the wrong ammo in it? If someone were to steal your rifle I would not be too concerned about whether or not they use the right ammo! |

Stag makes 6.8 marked lowers, I ordered some from rainier arms during the rush.

A 6.8 upper will fit on a .223 / 5.56 marked lower...no issues. You cannot use .223 / 5.56 mags for 6.8 ammo...you have to buy new mags. 6.8 mags will fit in a lower marked .223 / 5.56.

I would feel better if the cal. marked on the lower said "Multi" like the Megas and a few others.
