Apparently they are starting to catch up on back orders.

Here is my new RRA 6.8 Mid-length Rifle and my Varmit Upper.  Now I just have to get ammo and head to the range.

Somehow, plain old "ooooh's and aaaaah's" don't do it justice.

are you using a .556 lower? if so does 6.8 use .223 mags?

Yep a plain old Ar-15 lower, and the you can use standard AR-15 mags but you have to change out the follower.  I found some 6.8 mags online for about 12 a piece on gunbroker.

very cool!

Man, I thought I was going to get off easy by getting a 6.8 upper for my DPMS to use for hunting.  Imagine my surprise when I found out "The Great Hunting State" (PA) has such archaic hunting laws that 'black powder rifle' means FLINTLOCK ONLY! Percussion cap and inline are allowed only during regular rifle season, and semi-autos are completely banned.

Even my communist neighbor state to the north (NY) allows semis w/ limited cap mags, ARs included.

GA, as many others, uses the term "muzzle loader".   I think the courts have ruled in our state, the powder, bullet and ignition system are irrelevant, as long as the powder and bullet are loaded through the muzzle.

Sorry about the semi-auto ban.

PA is the reason Remington makes a pump rifle.
