Why doesn't anyone else (Anderson, Spikes, PSA, etc) make a receiver with the same pattern as the Six8? I thought I read that LWRC didn't make the dimensions proprietary? Those sets are like $600+. I would have thought by now that other lower manufacturers would want to sell a lower that can be used with 6.8 PMAGs. I know 6.8 is a niche but still... |

I am going with it is patented.
Maybe you read the patent runs out soon, who knows, With the market flooded right now, pretty much anything to make more sales would be good is my guess. On edit, I just thought as I hit send, those take that special 6.8 Magpul mag I think, that is only slightly longer, easily confused with regular Pmags. |

LWRC wants too much for their damn lower.
I'm running a YHM on a PSA blem. If they either dropped the price or let others make them, then I might reconsider. I have zero experience with running a LWRC and "standard" pattern lower side by side to compare, but can't imagine that being able to use 6.8 PMAGs is that important. |

Because Paul Leitner-Wise is an asshole. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile No but he's still an asshole. Personally I like his brand of assholishness sometimes. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Because I want to use PMAGs lol Quoted:

Ehh, why? Cost of new barrel+bolt+mags is still A LOT cheaper than going the LWRC route... Now, that being said, I wish Magpul would make 6.8 followers so I could turn any mag into a 6.8 mag $600 for a AR-15 lower just to use PMAGS? LOL fuck that. |

It actually is a decent size difference, between the two. Would be hard pressed to confuse the Six8 Pmag for the traditional.

This is the way I understand it. They are allowing others to make lowers of that pattern. But nobody has so far. Quoted:

I had thought that LWRC was going to allow others to make lowers/uppers after a point in time. Hopefully someone starts making a more reasonable priced version. The LWRC is full ambi, so that's where some of the cost is comming from. |
