| Can any upper Receiver be used for a 6.8 build ? (5.56 or .223). Will a 6.8 Barrel work with a .223 upper? |

It should, im also starting a 6.8 build and I was told the only thing different from the 6.8 and the 5.56 is the barrel, bolt, and mags everything else is pretty much the same and can be used |

Now if you can find the parts you want is the other question. I was trying to build my 6.8 upper for the past year and then I found a complete new RRA upper in 6.8 with chrome lined barrel. It was as cheap as buying the parts at 500 bucks. A3 upper, 16inch barrel chrome lined with bcg. New from a dealer I trade with. He had 12 and sold all of them including mine in 10 minutes flat at the last austin gunshow. 
Good luck. |

Will a 6.8 Barrel work with a .223 upper? not really any such thing as a '223' upper or a '6.8' upper, it's an AR upper and the 6.8 barrel works just the same as any other. barrel and bolt are ALL that are needed other than proper 6.8 mags... the bolt carrier is the same, the upper and lower are the same, everything else is the same. |
