Nice pistol! Would make a great short range deer hunting gun.
That’s a great build! I wouldn’t have expected to see a 6.8 pistol. That’s some serious power in tight! I don’t have the talent or dedication to do a build like that, but I did manage to install the caliber kit to make my dream 6.8 medium range blaster:
Psa 18inch upper built on a anderson lower i had sitting here… last i seen lax ammo had some decent prices for the times
Nice build!
How do you like those PSA magazines? The reason I’m asking is I built a .224 Valkyrie a few years back, but people were claiming that the only good 6.8 SPC/.224 Valkyrie mags were the Precision Reflex mags. They’re definitely nice mags, but are priced very high for AR mags. I didn’t even know PSA made mags for these calibers.
The 6.8 SPC seems like the AR15 caliber that is most effective at long distance shooting.
I locked mine up by putting 33 grains of Accurate 2200 with a 125 grain bullet.
But it was a mild over-pressure. Found a gun-smith-in-training yesterday at a local gun store who said they could dis-assemble it & remove the barrel for $60.
If you want to use AR15 high-capacity magazines, then 300 Ham’r is the best AR15 caliber for long distance.
6.8 SPC won’t fit in magazines like MWG90.
I bought a 6.8 SPC with a 24 inch bull barrel back in 2018/19 when Bear Creek was going crazy with low prices on 24 inch bull barrels.
Then tend to over-torque their flash hiders - but that isn’t a concern on an un-threaded barrel.
