I won't buy a complete rifle (as I just picked up an E4...I'm the guy who you've been helping through the LRBHO issue) but if you are "gauging interest" consider me interested. http://i30.tinypic.com/245c6t2.jpg I will ABSOLUTELY buy a bolt/barrel combo in 6.8 SPC. I have an AR build of mine in 6.8 that I'm fond of. http://i37.tinypic.com/2w6ap8w.jpg AeroPrecision Multi-caliber lower Stag/CMT M4 upper Badger Gen II TacLatch RRA 2-stage NM trigger VLTOR stock WOA 18" SS SPR profile barrel and bolt PWS FSC30 flash hider / comp YHM front sight Brownells HK-type rear sight ERGO grip Magpul triggerguard MI low profile gas block YHM FF rifle-length quad rail handguard MI sling mounts |

6.8 SPC is a nasty little round. Look at that fragmentation early into the gel. That's what you want for home defense. Bad guy zero home owner 1 after he encounters 6.8SPC from your short OAL STGE4. If only the U.S. Military would adopt it and move away from 5.56x45mm we could probably purchase it cheaper since more of it would be made. Unfortunately hell will most likely freeze over as pig fly above it before DOD changes the standard service caliber. Right now it's just pricey to shoot a lot of. |

Nice job MSAR with the 6.8! Looks like you did your homework deciding to use the best performance specs, SPC II and 1:11. The word is out on 68forums.com already about your MSAR 6.8.

The 6.8 was developed to be fired from short barrels anyhow, 12.5 if I'm not mistaken. |

I really hope interest is gauged at "High". I can't afford one yet but this is the rifle I've been dreaming about for a while now!
Also I doubt that you are an actual firearms company as you previously said this rifle would be out around the end of the summer and here it is. We all know real firearms manufacturers don't bring products out on time. |

I won't have the scratch to buy one until Jan or Feb of next year but will definitely get one then. I have converted all my AR's over to 6.8 as well as my XCR and NEED an E4 in 6.8 to complete my dream. I truely hope there will be more then this first run of E4's in 6.8 SPC.
MSARDave: can you give us an update??? MadDog

lol. I really really want one but will have to wait on pricing, probably won't be able to get it until after school ends, but what it'd be one hell of a graduation present to myself. I only have 1 AR and it's a 6.8, love that cartridge.

From Wkipedia:
The 6.8 mm Remington SPC was designed to perform better in short barreled CQB rifles after diminished performance from the 5.56 NATO when the AR15 was changed from the rifle configuration to the current M4 carbine. The 6.8 SPC delivers 44% greater energy than the 5.56 mm NATO (M4 configuration) at 100-300 meters. The 6.8mm SPC is ballistically inferior to the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge; however, it has far less recoil, is considerably more controllable in rapid fire, and much lighter, allowing operators to carry more ammunition than would otherwise be possible with the larger caliber round. The 6.8 mm generates around 1,759 ft·lbf (2385 J) of muzzle energy with a 115 grain bullet. In comparison, the 5.56x45mm round (which the 6.8 is designed to replace) generates around 1325 ft-lbf (1,796 J) with a 63 grain bullet, giving the 6.8mm a terminal ballistic advantage over the 5.56mm of 434 ft-Ibf (or 589 J). In recent developments (the period 2004-2008) the performance of the 6.8SPC has been increased by approximately 200 ft/s by the work of one ammo manufacturer and a few custom rifle builders using the correct chamber and barrel specifications. The velocities obtained now from an 8" barrel are equal to what a 16" barrel was producing 4 years ago and the 16" barrel velocities are equal to what a 24" barrel produced 4 years ago using the data below. By increasing the velocity of the ammo 200 ft/s the range of terminal effectiveness has been increased approximately 100 yards or an 8" barrel now has the same effective range as a 16" barrel had in 2004 as the 6.8 loses apx 25ft/s/inch. -SSA website and 6.8 Performance test verified[9]. It should be noted that there are 2 standardized, but different, chambers for the 6.8 SPC which yield different results. Only the rifles chambered with the newer specified chamber and the slower barreling twist rate can safely use the higher powered/higher pressure ammunition. All other rifles should only be used with the standard cartridge pressure loadings. [ |

Holy cow, how did I miss this? A lefty bullpup? In my favorite caliber? It would end up being my home defense rifle, and I'd even let my son use it for his hunting rifle, as it looks like it would be more manageable for a 10y.o. than my 18" barrel AR that I currently use. Any idea on the price?

Please note, MSAR is currently experiencing a cranial-rectal inversion at this time. This applies to the 6.8 project, the 7.62 project, and the MCS project. Please give them some time (I'm thinking a year or two) to get these matters sorted out.

Ask Harrison over at AR Performance what he's getting with a 20", I think you'd be impressed. I've got a 16" recon coming from him soon.
Still, I think the MSAR in the 16' is the way to go, seeing as you can take full better advantage of what the bullpup system offers. I would honestly love to have a 10.5 or 12.5 inch SBR in that rifle. There are guys taking deer at remarkable distances with the correct specs in the 10.5 inch 6.8.

I'm guessing that this is just another case of where all the gun companys go quiet before Shot SHow. Then they'll show off and hype all their new stuff that they promise will be out in the next year and then leave us to wait paitentatly while they try and figure out how to put it into production. I for one am getting sick and tired of the over promising and under delivering by these companies and MSAR is no different and steadily creeping up to the top of my list.
