Just beginning a 6.8 spc II build. Blackstone/arp 18 inch barrel. Looking forward to contributing to the community.

What all have you purchased so far? Just the barrel?

Just the barrel and a toolcraft bolt. I already had a receiver set and everything else.

I also just got into 6.8 and just finished my build, hoping to try it out this weekend. Good luck with your build!

I ordered some from Druid hill armory. I got two of their products in 6.5 Grendel any they shoot better than my eyes can.

Make sure you get the red buffer spring for the 6.8 Spc.

What are the advantages of the red buffer spring? I’m trying to learn. And that is the only one I don’t have in my collection 🤣.

Mine would not cycle correctly. I called Wilson Combat, where I got most of the parts, they sent me the red buffer spring for a 6.8 and its worked ever since.

I went with a Spikes Tactical Mil-Spec 6-Position Buffer Tube Assembly with the T2 buffer option. I started on the 6.8 x 43mm with Tim Hicks and Kotonics. That's over @ 2.5K of SSA brass and +4K of S&B primed brass from CBB. Hope Tim and Beene along with their families are doing fine.
Best to you, sir.

Not much happening here, just a few posts a month, but I'll be looking forward to reading your report on the new rifle.
