6.8 Build Coming Soon

[CoxeyDiesel]

Are you planning on running suppressed ?

Possibly in the future but no for right now.

Please post up some pix as the build progresses.

Will do!

Pretty sure you are mistaken on DD making a 14.5" 6.8 barrel. I have the 16" version and it is a good shooting barrel. I wish I would have went with the 18" as a good friend has a Bison Armory barrel and sees a few hundred FPS more out of it with handloads than my 16". Also when I ran a LWRC bolt it damaged almost every piece of brass I ran through the gun. The Daniel Defense bolt does not. Not to mention you can get 2 of the DD bolts for less than the LWRC.

Here it is http://www.tacticalcoordination.com/...Midlength.HTML

I've pretty much decided on running an ARP barrel and bolt after reading up today.

That barrel never made it to production as far as I know. I waited for 3 months and it went from coming soon to discontinued. After seeing the velocity loss between 16" and 18" I am glad I didn't get it. When I contacted ARP the pushed the 20" hard but I have yet to see it in stock. For that matter the only 6.8 they ever have is 14.5".

Here's a few of muzzle devices to checkout:

Thanks for the suggestions GOST. That VG6 break looks sweet!

I don't know if FortTom has tried that one out, but I know he likes their product.

Yes CD and GOST. I have two of them. The VG6 lives up to the hype as far as performance. I was a bit skeptical at first, with the idea of a hybrid that claims to do 3 things, brake/comp/flash hider, but the brake and comp are excellent, and obviously especially for rapid fire strings, and the flash hider is very good. I can put my dot on target and just watch it set still as I run a string of 10, 20 or 30, as fast as I can pull the trigger, and not jerk the gun myself.

I fully believe it lives up to it's advertised performance, and I don't think anyone can go wrong with the VG6 for a brake/comp.

FT

EDIT: Sorry, I goofed. I have experience with the VG6 Epsilon for 5.56. I just realized this was a post in a 6.8 thread. However I need another 7.62 brake for my .277 WLV, and will probably be buying one from VG6. I have a Lantac Dragon for my AR-10 if I can ever get around to putting it together, so I'll get a side by side comparison of those two also.

There you go, you've got the FT seal of approval.

The PWS comp is effective but LOUD, just so you know. I have been on the line next to one on a 16" piston gun (5.56) and I was very glad for double hearing pro (foamies and muffs).

6.8's are fun!

Perusing the local facebook gun page and happened across this for $30. May still go with the minimalist but I'm gonna give this a try.
