There are two possible causes for the slow sales:

1. 6.8 is not selling in general.
2. 6.8 sells, but only if you have a certain chamber and twist.

Not sure which one it is - but, I do think they would have sold significantly more if they did an SPC-II chamber and 1/11 twist. It is ok to make a product you want rather than what most customers want, but you have to accept you will sell fewer of them because of it and realize you are in a niche area.
Lack of hi-caps didn't help either.
