While I was away I got to run by Mom and Dad's house and go to a nice dinner with them. It was a good time. Dad and I were discussing the 6.8SPC. You're in luck Dad, here's the lefty in 6.8. Check it out at Stag Arms. It retails for a mere 1,095.00.
A guy commented on another post of mine that .223 AR magazines can be used in the 6.8 SPC with no modification and he may be correct. However, the 6.8 SPC magazines on the market now have different followers, different thicknesses, and different feed rails. I wouldn't trust my life, hunt, or day at the range to a mag not designed for use in the 6.8 SPC. Spend a grand on a rifle and just a few more bucks on the proper mags! The moral of the story is that I need a right-handed version. Just the upper, really.
I know the 6.8 SPC was based on the .30 Newton cartridge so that it would fit in the standard AR-15 upper but I think a .308 AR-10 would be cool with a .277 barrel to fire a .270-08. That's a .308 case necked-down to a .277 bullet. I know, too similar to a 7mm-08. It would still be cool though. It would also be short, and short is all the rage right now.
