6.8 project 12" brl
As some you know I am working several projects, I got to thinking (dangerous) about the next project I wanted to do.... Hmmmm.... I guess that will be a 6.8 conversion kit for my XCR. I have been reading some of the lively debates on the comparisons between 6.8 and 6.5. Plus the announcement of RobArms holding off on the 6.5. Which has made my decision even easier. Now I just have to wait on the announcement of the PDW(if its in 6.8 or something I will go that route instead) ;D. I am thinking to go ahead and pay uncle sugar my $200 and do a 12" brl in 6.8. From everything that I have read the short brl 6.8 is really effective and surpasses the 5.56. I keep my 5.56 rifles in the 16" brl because that particular round was designed to be fired out of longer brls. However, I am on the look out next month for a Kel-Tec PLR-16 (I think those will be fun to shoot) For a SHTF weapon I am thinking XCR 6.8 12" brl. As someone told me this week you can't take your $$$ when your dead. Since I will be working on an NFA for another project might as well do this one too. Any advice, questions, comments are all welcomed.
