Despite the unusual caliber of this firearm, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s some niche gun. It can be applied to most any situation a traditional AR can, and in many cases produces better results. Any gun collector would snap one of these up in a heartbeat to cover all bases of caliber. Speaking of which, don’t forget to grab some ammo to go with this!
<p>Six8-A5 Features The LWRC Six8 rifles are based on the short stroke gas piston operation providing you with the ultimate in reliability with the ergonomics of the AR platform. The 6.8mm SPC cartridge was originally developed for the US Special Operations soldiers to address the deficiencies with the 5.56mm cartridge. The goal was to create a cartridge that would fit the standard pattern AR-15 but provide better ballistics across all effective ranges. The lack of reliable magazines for the 6.8 has hindered the popularity of this cartridge until now. LWRC teamed up with Magpul to create a new polymer magazine specific to this platform. LWRC started by enlarging the magazine well to fit the Magpul polymer magazine and this partnership has spawned what is being heralded as a game changer.
