LWRC Six8 Rifle Family

[Tacti-square]

Did a checkup on their website and realized they've made a few updates. Three new rifles caught my eye because both the upper and lower have been re-engineered specifically for the 6.8x43mm. Magpul even made a 30-round 6.8 magazine for the rifle. They're all ambidextrous.

Would anyone consider buying one if they had the funds? I know there's a lot of anti-LWRC sentiment here, but these look like winners to me (especially the SBR).

I don't think you are going to find a lot of love here for LWRC. The debacle with the IC program just adds fuel to the fire.

As for the rifles, I personally don't think I want a piston unless I'm: suppressed, spraying, Short barreled.

Also, this thread belongs in "beyond 5.55/.223"

I run a 6.8 suppressed SBR from LWRCi (just the upper) and love it. No issues whatsoever on my end.

That's awesome, I'm sure you're still hitting pretty damn hard with a short barrel

Yeah, but I dig it. Once I get it back from Cerakoting (FDE) I'll post a pic here for you.

Thanks, I'm really falling in love with that UCIW. One always yearns for what's out of one's grasp

What "debacle"? LWRC did not participate in the IC "competition".

M6IC (individual carbine)

By program I mean their system of preordering and delivering this vaporware.

If I had the money feed it to my heart's content, I'd have one. Like the 6.8!

The sentiment is not unfounded.

Personally I would not. A) its a 6.8 and B) if I had that much cash to drop on a fancy AR it would be a Christensen Arms with a carbon fiber wrapped barrel.
