Just push out the take down pins and put your complete upper with bolt assembly and your good to go.

You have to use a different magazine for 6.8/6.5's.  They won't fit in your 5.56 mags.

Read the 6.8 and 6.5 faqs at the top of this page.  All the info you need is in there.

the ONLY differences between a 5.56 AR and a 6.8 or 6.X AR are the following;
1:barrel
2:bolt head
3:magazine
4: Might want a heavier buffer if running a collapsible stock. optional.

Uppers lowers, handguards, etc. are the same.
