Ummm Rock River is selling uppers (complete with bolts) and complete rifles. Check 'em out.

They are using a proprietary magazine that, last time I checked, they hadn't finished with. They could not state capacity for these magazines, but they do use Rock River's (thus any Colt-style) magazine block.

Read more in the Rock River Industry Forum thread on the subject.

I think Oly Arms is selling a .40 S&W AR. They have a bad reputation on here though, so YMMV

My only experience with them was a stripped lower and it was fine.

10mm and I'd listen, 40sw just doesn't offer enough over the 9mm AR market which is already saturated. If only 10mm ammo where more available...and reasonably priced

I will never buy an Oly Arms Product!!!!!

I guess I will have to find a custom shop to build a bolt and a barrel in 40 S&W.

IIRC the 6.8 bolt should work for you. I believe they have the same rim diameter if I haven' lost my memory.

Thanks!

I will have to look into that. Who sells a good 6.8 bolt?

Stag/cmt, and most other manufactures. I am pretty certain that the 40 and 6.8 interchange. One of my 6.8 shells measure .42 which off the top of my head is the same for a .40 cal.
