| Well folks I finally got to pull the trigger on my weapon. I bought the LWRC six8 A-2. Have about 300 rounds to zero her in with. Now working on some optics and other practical accessories. |

Any plans on suppressing it? |

| Well as of right now all I want to add are a sling, an optic, and maybe a foregrip. I already have the foregrip and sling, but the optic is gonna take some time as I want to research and play with all the optics I can. I prefer a 3.5 or 4x scope. As for adding a suppressor, that will be a little further down the road. |

Awesome pics OP. What are your thoughts on the rifle? Enjoying the balance/weight? ETA: Not being sarcastic, if you click on the images they blow up nicely. Loving the flag, behind the rifle.  I love it so far. Tomorrow if all is well and I don't get called in to work, I plan on going to send some rounds downrange. We used to used the M-16 A-2 and this weapon seems lighter to me. It seems so well made. Another Marine recommended the weapon to me so lets see how she runs tomorrow. That was actually my cover for my bed that has the EGA on it! |

I look forward to hearing you report back, after getting to shoot it. I'm loving mine, the recoil is a little higher than a 5.56 DI but not by much. I actually just got a suppressor for mine but haven't gotten to try it out yet, dangerously low on 6.8 rounds.

| I bought three different types of 6.8 mm rounds for it to see what she likes best. I bought 140 rounds today and order another 160 rounds for her yesterday. I will let you all know how it goes tomorrow. Is the bang louder on the weapon vs a 5.56 as many people say? |

Granted, I'm used to shooting my 5.56 Suppressed now and haven't really ran unsupressed since 2008. But, from the other guys on the range, their 5.56 seemed about the same as my 6.8. |
