[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New CMMG 6.8 chrome lined Mid-length

Posted: 2/4/2006 6:25:35 AM EDT

We will begin shipping these as soon as we get back from shot show.

New 16" 6.8 mid-length upper. This upper comes with mid-length handguards and is complete with bolt, carrier and charging handle. CMMG semi auto bolt carriers have the shrouded firing pin to protect against hammer wear. Upper receivers are "T" marked and include extended feed ramp cuts. Features include gov’t contour barrel, mid-length gas system, chrome lined 6.8 chamber and bore, 1/10 twist, parkerizing under “F” marked forged front sight base and magnetic particle testing on every barrel. When ordering with optional gas block, barrels will not be drilled for taper pins. Barrel is marked CMMG MPC 6.8 1/10.

Will you be doing this in a 20" Gov't profile? Are you going to sell barrels & bolts separately? I want to do an all CMT gun & use their upper to match my lower. All replies are greatly appreciated!

This run is a gov't profile. I hope I havn't made a typo along the way. We will likely do a medium contour shortly.

Oh, and yes, the feedramp cuts are anodized.

Posted: 2/5/2006 4:26:15 PM EDT

Just make sure you measure twice and cut once.

CMMG, you're screwing up everything for me! The more stuff that you come out with already built the less time that I get to spend in my shop!

No doubt my exuberant reading into all the choices....

Awww shit. I wasn't going to dabble into the 6.8, but at this price I may have to. Not to hijack, but do I need special magazines for this one?

Yeah, no shit! I was thinking of something very similar at work last night.

Must resist...must resist...

+6.8 for CMMG

Dang. Do I buy the lightweight right away, or do I wait for the medium contour? SPC users, advise!

Hows ammo availability and costs right now? Wolf or S&B or like?

Posted: 2/6/2006 12:39:47 PM EDT

[#22]

What is the optional gas block? Will there be any other options such as free floated rails, etc.? Thanks.

Posted: 2/6/2006 12:52:37 PM EDT

[#23]

Most anything that will go on a 5.56 will go on the 6.8

Actually looks pretty good right now. Midway has Silver State 115gr for $11.49/box of 20. Not as cheap as 5.56/.223, but not nearly as bad as 6.8SPC was this time last year.

the best thing about the 6.8 mm is that you can hunt deer with it in states that dont allow mouse rounds for deer.

and for around 800 with a lower damn good price.

Wow! CMMG seems to be listening as mentioned above!

Now when your gas piston system comes out in .556 I'm going to go into debt big time.

Excellent and decent pricing, too. Hope you offer it with the new 6.8mm Vortex, too. Heard you'll be stocking them for the 5.56mm weapons.

I think we have some of these enroute. If not I will get them ordered after shot.

Great move! The 6.8 SPC Vortex would be a super addition to your upper. Hope it comes 5/8 X 24 TPI. If so, I gotta get one, too.

I meant to ask, what is the optional gas block mentioned below?

Thank you. Very exciting product.

Guten Tag.

I do not want to start a debate on cartridges but is there any interest in the 6.5 Grendel?
I personally like the ballistics better and it looks like the cartridge might take off this year with Wolf getting behind it and new mags being made.
I hope someone builds a 18" stainless (maybe fluted) upper.

Posted: 2/20/2006 7:45:21 PM EDT

[#34]

I'd love to see your 18" mid-length barrel in 6.8. Based on the exceptional quality of the 14.5" mid-length I just receive from you guys, I'd definitely be in the market for one. I know 6.8 is "not a long range cartridge", but with an 18" barrel, it would do what I needed out to 600 yards.

If not, at least a "MedCon" 16" in 6.8

thanks!

How accurate is this upper able to shoot? I see a future short/medium range deer gun in my future...

Posted: 2/20/2006 10:20:54 PM EDT

[#36]

Looking sweet. I'll need to pic some of these up for sure.

Posted: 2/21/2006 7:40:49 AM EDT

[#37]

Just received mine. Looks very clean, visually. 1/2 X36 TPI threads, unfortunately. understand forthcoming prodcution models will get the now standard 5/8 X 24 X .730 TPI configuration. Give you all a full report after some range time.
