yes you would be good to go

 

The only difference in the rifle between 5.56 and 6.8 is the bolt, barrel, and magazines.

 

The only other thing that is differnet is the muzzle threading with 5/8 being the standard for 6.8 and 1/2 for 5.56 which means you have to get the correct muzzle device. I mention this in case people are thinking of pulling parts from a 5.56 to use for their 6.8 build.

 

Excellent, thank you, now does anyone know where i can get one lol

 

Ranier Arms has bolts in stock if that't what you're looking for. Try Denny's, White Oak Armament or Compass Lake Engineering for the barrel. I haven't heard of any in stock lately, I'd get on their waiting list.

 

M-AParts.com Brownells MidwayUSA just about any AR store.

 

Checked there, all out of stock

 

Will this work in the lefty, 6.8 bolts from Stag? Not sure what all is different between Stag's lefty bolts compared to a regular bolt.

 

LH and regular are different. They are not interchangeable. Extractor and ejector on opposite sides.

 

The reason the left and the right hand bolts are not interchangeable is that the cam pin hole in the bolt is tapered. Just pull your bolt apart and roll the bolt over and try to install the cam pin and it won't go.

 

Rightys are available from Stag as well. That's where I got mine.

 

Sorry thought we were talking about cam pins
