Do the 300 blackout and let me know how it goes...then I can get one for the piggies!
I vote 300 blk. That's what I'm building.
My bud just built one but he lives in KS so I can't test his.....boo!Originally Posted by Musashi
The military is not switching to 6.8mm.
I'd say that 6.5mm looks to have more support than 6.8 in the market, but I think I'd wait a bit longer to see which of the .30 sort out on top.
Says one of my boys in the Rangers. we have recieved a butt load of 5.56 stuff as they are discontinuing it.
Yeah uh huh.
I dont get the whole 6.8 thing either.............
Yet years later SOCOM orders the SCAR 16 & 17 in 7.62 NATO and 5.56 NATO..........................................was developed by Remington Arms with collaboration from individual members of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, United States Special Operations Command.[3] to possibly replace the 5.56 NATO cartridge in a Short Barreled Rifle(SBR)/Carbine.
I doubt the military will full scale adopt a new cartridge with the current leaders in washington and the future of our money...........
I think the .300 BLK would be a better upgrade anyway, cheaper to switch out barrels............. wishful dreaming.
I was leaning on making a 6.8 at first, not a big hunter, which 6.5 or 6.8 appears to lean to community wise, which is why I was so intrigued with the .300 BLK and ended up going that way.
A nice little 10" barreled pistol for now and turning in to an SBR in the future. perfect! ...........and cheaper.

My feedback
The US army is changing over, we have 2 family members in there. we have recieved a buttload of 5.56 mags etc as they are converting to the 6.8
And our boys get first shot at the discontinued New items pertainging to the old 5.56
Even an Old retired Marine specialist I know has said he knew they were switching.
First I have heard of a full scale switch over, I heard it never went anywhere??????
..............anyone else still in, enlighten us? Would be cool to know which branches, units are switching?

No. Not happening. No Army units are converting to 6.8 SPC currently. No procurement of the 6.8 SPC has been made, or even put out for bid. Without even an open RFP, such a conversion could not start for years if the RFP went out today.
SOCOM got spanked years ago for their efforts with the 6.8 SPC by Army brass.
And there is no budget for converting to a new rifle caliber, with the need for new parts, new ammunition, new magazines.
It is not happening.
