6.8 SPC build

I've decided to convert one of my AR-15's to 6.8 spc. Not having any experience with this caliber I'm asking for input on barrel and bolt assy's. First of all I am not a "brand" seeker, just what works and worth the money. I appricate any and all info. Thank you.

ARP, the scout profile is very nice

Bison

Bass yep...go here http://www.ar15performance.com/ H knows his stuff...his 6.8's rock! Wash

Bison Armory gets my vote. Have built 2 with their barrels and BCG's.

I second the AR Performance barrel. Below is a pic of a 5 shot group I shot with factory Hornady 110 Vmax. The barrel is an 18" ARP medium conture. Disregard my measurements as I incorrectly wrote down .243 and should have been .988 - .277 = .711

Very good information on below forum.

ARP or Bison is what I came up with after shopping for awhile. I have a 16" ARP socom barrel and a box of parts. I just need a bolt and gas block and time to finish it up. ARP comes well reviewed and the price is quite fair.

try a stag arms bolt, Nickel Boron Bolt Carrier, check the aim web site

you will not be disappointed

check the 6.8 forum, lots of info there

I'll call ARP Monday, The barrel I'm thinking about is showing out of stock. I could get all I need from them with out breaking the bank. Thanks guys

Another thought on ARP that when you buy a barrel and bolt together, they will make sure it is head spaced properly. I really don't know what all is involved in this on an AR platform or how it affects accuracy but could be a good opportunity.

Thanks Big, that's my intention.

ARP barrel and superbolt is the way to go. It's what we use in all our uppers, they just shoot!!

Try White Oak Armament too. They're well known for accuracy.

I have a White Oak 14.5 in 556 it shoots great even with cheap ammo

I looked at White Oak, I have a 18" SS in my favorite AR 15. I really like their barrels but I'm thinking ARP 16" Scout for length and weight. I was thinking about one of their superbolts in the carrier for my 556.

You will not be disappointed with that set up.

I have arp 12.5" sbr and it shoots great and very consistent in the accuracy department. I used a stag bolt. I ordered mine from dsg arms, as arp was out of stock, but they where the same price. Im so glad i went with arp, priced right and very accurate.

Another vote for ARP.
