Was at Gunstop this weekend and saw 200 rnds of Remington 6.8spc ammo is avilable. Also a Barrett M468 with 2 boxes of ammo. |

Are there any other uppsers besides bhe Barrets chambered for 6.8? I see the posiblities with the 6.8, but, I'm really not all that fired up to part with my money for it....yet..time will tell. When Lee comes out with $20 die sets for it, I'll look a little closer.  On a similar note, who here actually has one of the new .308 AR type rifles? I have been offered a good deal on a G3 and FN-FAL, but, would rather put money down on an M1A or AR. (I like the fact that Bushy makes one that uses standard FAL mags) Sorry for the sidetracj |
She is all Factory right now but I have some plans for it real soon...

Midway lists the DPMS uppers Product #: 375670 Manufacturer #: BA-AP468 Our Price: $588.99 DPMS 6.8 SPC Upper The mags look to be spendy for sure. I know at the last MWCA show they have PRI mags on the DPMS table in April. It sure is spendy way to get the newest cart. on the market! |

There is an article in this month's Combat Arms Magazine about the 6.8. Very interesting. The main drawbacks as I see them and as the article states is the changeover of all the equipment supplied to troops (ie: mags and uppers) as well as the availability of ammo. If you could make a round that had the same case size and length as a 5.56, with a larger bullet size and similar MV, that would be a good invention, IMO. Fedgunner, get those Ammo lackeys at ATK to research something! |
Yeah, get on it ammo bitch!
