Has anyone got a price quote from RatWorx or anyone else for the new 6.8 ?
Anyone have one on order ?

My best guess is that the 6.8 will be right around the same price as a 5.56 E4.  The only difference is that the E4 ships with 5 mags that we make, and I doubt if we will ship the rifles with 5 Barret or PRI mags.  If we did, it would obviously raise the price a bit.  I should know soon.  But it is just about to happen.

Ratworx emailed me earlier and said they are planning to call Monday and see what the status is.

I have 10 C product mags, 650 rounds of tactical ammo, and 250 rounds of non-tactical.
I built up a 6.8 AR since I got tired of waiting to see if MSAR would beat a AWB.
A 6.8 bull pup would be the ultimate brush gun. But since I already built a 6.8  AR price is going to matter.

I think you're doing some great things as far as having all these calibers... have you thought about having a 6.5 Grendel?  with like a 24" barrel that would give your platform some serious range and accuracy potential...better than 6.8

yes thank you!!!!... i know everyone likes 6.8 because the army looked at it, but its trajectory is poor compared to the 6.5 grendel, i would really like to see the 6.5 grendel on this platform and i would buy 2 conversions  please just take the time to look up the data on these two rounds, and see the differents

If they made a 6.5 grendel with a 24" barrel, with the appropriate twist for the same price that the rest of them are going for i'd be the first in line...

People have put together groups of roughly 1.25" at 600 yards with the 6.5 grendel

but even with the 16" barrel the trajectory is amazing. i do agree the 24" would be nice as well, but im willing to take it with what ever it comes with
