Nice deal for a simple 6.8 to modify

UPS finally delivered my upper from PSA while I was on vacation. I got it mounted on a lower this afternoon, rear sight mounted and a 2.5-8 mildot Mark4 Leupold in a LaRue mount I had sitting on the bench. Forgot to order a front sight so I'm waiting on that to come in and then I'll get it zeroed.

Good for you, PSA can be a bit slow but you can't complain about the pricing...come-on a completer 6,8 for 6 bills?

Yep, I got one of their 18" stainless uppers with a 15" Midwest Industries Keymod rail for $430 delivered and plopped it on a Spikes lower I had about $250 into so I can't complain too much. Already had a DD carrier I just had to order a bolt, mags and I am in business. The bolt and mags came in before I left even though they were ordered a week after the upper from a different source. If I order from PSA I don't order anything I need within a month.

I think that is a good barrel and a nice handguard, you did good. let us know how it shoots!

Wow, price is dropping like crazy!

Got a chance to try out that upper? It catches my eye every time I checkout PSA. I've had my finger hovering over the buy button more than once on it.

Sure are a lot of 6.8's on the forum, clearly the best all around AR caliber for hunting. Who all has a 6.8 pistol also?

I took my 6.8 (20" rifle) to the range this morning to test TennJeep's $35 trigger job I did over the weekend. First three shots went under 1/2" and 5 shots were under 1" at 100yd. Major improvement with the trigger job.

Sierra 110 gr. Pro Hunter-30.0 gr. H-335-slight crimp with a Lee Factory Crimp Die. It shoots just as good with Nosler or Barnes 110 gr.

Excellent John, you are gonna like that this hunting season!!

Guy on the 6.8 forum is on a quest to build the lightest 6.8 he can down to 4.5 (w/o optic)so far with ounces to go

 

[JohnAL]

I know mine is a stand only gun. With the 20" heavy profile barrel it's too damn heavy to carry around.

 

[FrankT]

Yeah I bet w the 20" barrel. My 16" and 8.5" are both light enough to carry around. Light parts cost double the $ as normal parts.

 

[fishingjean]

Not worried bout weight either!!!

I purchased a 3x Vortex magnifier the other day at TGD. Moved the Vortex Strikefire back to the 5.56 (was mounted on the 6.8 for function testing at the range) and put the 3x behind it. Moved the 1-4x from the 5.56 to the 6.8. Time to get the 6.8 out to the range and see if I can get a grouping together. I get to have the fun of re-sighting the 5.56 carbine Reece hybrid, the 6.8, and finally shooting my new xdM 9mm. RANGE DAYYYYY!!!!!

:tongue:

 

[FrankT]

I keep waiting for my new night vision unit to sight in before I head to the range, now I have 2 other guns to sight in so may head out soon.

 

[1956_4x4]

Frank - I think I'd just head out to the range. You'll probably have a few more guns to sight in by the time that ATN arrives.

Hey Bud, with all your toys I want to go when you do, your collection is much more impressive than mine!

You tend to get the call every time I get the chance to go to the range. The sad part is that the trips are to few and far between.
