EDIT-  Ok, I obviously haven't been over there in a while, as I just pulled it up and found, well, not much.  They've still got their sponsor links up, and the board is there, but no forums.  Not sure if they're just working on it or what...  Keep an eye on it, though.  Good info there.

I will say this, though.  For general use (and for some specialized uses), Silver State Armory is the best 6.8 ammo I've used.  You can order direct from them.

Don't know much about this company, but they seem to specialize in 6.8 AR's. Their site has a good FAQ with many of the good things(selling points) about the 6.8 round. Hope this helps. From what I have seen and read, it's a great round, but expensive.

Oh yeah, you are supposed to post pics of your new rifle. If not, they say the Cat will get you. (right Hazcat?) ;D

Great ballistics, awesome round, enjoy the price of ammo, (well, they are all high now, and stink), but its a real scorcher.

Congratulations, take pics go to photobucket.com and post a photo, we love to see the centerfolds of a good rifle.

On photobucket simply copy the last link under the picture (img.....) and paste it into your post here.

My pics are in photobucket.

I'm a member of the 68forums, although I had not read my emails from them of late. Apparently they are forcing anyone who wants to browse to register by blocking the forums until you sign in. I had the same problem as above - nothing on the home page - and once I logged in, voila' - all of the forums appeared.

No word so far as to why they took this approach.

There's a few forums doing that same thing: FN forum, one of the many 1911 forums etc. Actually I was given a little access in the beginning but then they pulled the "if you want to see more join our forum" thing. Bummer.

I'm guessing it is ad related - forcing the "membership" numbers up to be able to charge higher ad rates. Or something comparable.
