6.8 Upper advice:
Make sure the bolt is actually made for the 6.8 rather than a modified .223 breechface. The reason is that there can be some nasty bad explosion problems. I honestly can't remember all the details, but was advised from the guys at PRI and MSTN before treading lightly into 6.8 land. Contact Paul at MSTN for more questions. Awesome guy and ask too if they're selling their skeletonized bolt carriers yet. SPC Richard A. White, Senior Medic 249th MP Detachment (EACF) Camp Humphreys, ROK |

I ordered my DPMS 6.8 upper from midwayusa. 4 days from order to to chicago delivery. pri 25rnd magazine 2 boxes of remington express and no fte or ftf. I await a case of Silver State Armory X-treme. Will have to see how they feed when they arrive.
using a DSA ZM4 lower. 6.8 upper fits better then the P.O.F. one the lower came with. |

Answering the original questions first:
No modifications to your 223 lower receiver. You need special mags which are made by PRI and easily available from PRI, DPMS or Midway. Otherwise, push out the two pins holding your 223 upper, remove upper, replace with 6.8 upper and press the pins back into place  Prices range from $500ish for a basic model 1 to $1600 for a Barrett. I have built a bunch of 6.8 uppers as well. Most that I sell are in the $800 range with a hand-lapped match grade stainles steel barrel. My feedback forum is full of customers that have them. My website is in my signature below. The main 6.8 thread here on ar15.com is a good start. You might also look at the Yahoo 6.8 Group which you will find linked from www.68spc.com |
