Hello Paul, Tim and everyone else. I'm a retired LEO, armorer and gunsmith that was rehired to be a desert conservation officer. I patrol the desert in a Jeep with full LEO powers with an eye to as much public relations as LEO work. I carry a Bushmaster AR 15 lower with a Colt Military M-4 Upper as my patrol rifle. I am very interested in changing to a 6.8 SPC upper. I want to learn all I can here before spending much money.

I am called "Big Cholla" by many. That is a form of SW desert cacti that you don't want to mess with much. I can further explain that alias if anyone is interested. .......... BC

Welcome, Big Cholla. You should be able to get yourself quite educated on the 6.8 and what are the ideal specs to look for from this site. We all help each other here so fell free to ask away with any questions you may have.

    New Member Introduction
    Hello guys. New from NV. I bought a New Frontier C-6.8 receiver set on a whim and have a 18" ARP barrel on the way. Maybe it's me, but I haven't found much info on this site about the C-6.8 (pros vs cons). Should I spin the ARP on a regular upper instead? I reload and am into Form 1...

    Ran across the forum while reading about 6.8 AR platforms. Going to build one asap. Can't decide if the 12.5 ARP is worth the wait or to go 10.5 for a pistol / future sbr. Primary use is farm defense and a little deer hunting. Don't have any shots too long, most of my hunting spots are 50-200yd...

  6. New to the 6.8 game, from FL

    New Member Introduction
    Hello everybody, I almost have all my parts to complete my first AR15 build, and chose 6.8 for my all around caliber. Hopefully I made the right decision here. My thinking was to spend a little extra on mid range - quality parts and to choose a caliber that would let me hunt hogs and whitetail...
