    Question Two (or three) quick questions... SOG Armory?

    1) Does SOG Armory build a good rifle for the money? I'm looking at the Warrior as of right now (With the monolith free-float). Is there a "better" option for the money, performance/quality-wise?

    2) Is there a signifigant advantage or disadvantage to "upgrading" to 6.8 over the ever-popular 5.56? Are SOG rifles dependable in 6.8 as well as 5.56?

    Thanks so much for your time and knowledge...

    ~Bobby

    **EDIT** Still looking on info for above, but am also interested in LWRC M2A2 listed on SOG's site. Looks like a FINE piece of equipment. BUT are they worth the extra money, for the piston setup and 1:7 barrel? Thanks

    I don't know anything about SOG Armory but given the specs for the "Warrior" rifle on their website, I would pass (4140 barrel steel, chrome-moly not chrome lined barrel, 1:9 twist barrel, no mention of HPT or MP testing, etc.) For $1800 you could build a comparable rifle using a quality base rifle from BCM, LMT, Daniel Defense or a number of other manufacturers......hell, even using a Colt 6920 you could probably build a similar rifle for less than $1800.

    If you're referring to the SOG in Houston, I would pass on everything they offer. Stick w/the recommended "big boys" you cant go wrong...

    I have both calibers, the 6.8 is expensive to shoot, the 5.56 is not.

    So other than price of ammunition, are there any pros or cons to consider in shooting 6.8 over 5.56? More stopping power? Reliability issues?

    Thanks!

    **As for SOG, they're in Houston. I wondered why I didn't see many pictures of them on here (Haven't found any, really). And the LWRC I mentioned with the piston setup, is $2,399 a fair price on one in 6.8? $2,499 for 5.56?

    Thanks for the info!

    Their AR's are overpriced for what they offer. I would seriously look at around. A quick peek at BCM and you could build a serious AR for just under 1000.00.

    Are you saying SOG is overpriced or LWRC's Piston rifles? I found an M6A1 online for $1,698 + shipping... seems like a good price, includes the monolith rail setup.

    Both!

    Get a Colt, BCM, DD, or Noveske! Heck, for that kind of money you can buy a KAC.

    Not to chase you away, as this forums is great for AR info, but there is a lot of info on the 6.8SPC along with many vendors who specialize in it at 68forums.com.


    Both SOG and LWRC seem overpriced. I'm currently using a Stag 5H 6.8 upper on a fully equipped Daniels Defense lower I got from one of our vendors, G&R Tactical. The whole deal, with some extra mags (which on the 6.8 tend to be expensive) was about $950. No need to throw away money on a tacticool sounding name, go with the know quality manufacturers. Even Daniels Defense will be coming out with a couple 6.8 rifles this summer.

    we talked about SOG last year clicky clicky


    a 6.8 isnt a good first weapon for you, its to expensive to train on as your only M4.

    It's not the first M4 platform for me, just looking for something different than my 5.56, not that there's anything wrong with it, I just like options. Since I posted this, I have been researching 6.5 Grendel, and think that would be an interesting caliber to build-up, with either an 18" or 20" barrel.

    So, back to my main concern at this point in time,

    PISTON RIFLES:

    Where should I start looking? Why does LWRC Claim to have designed the system, and everyone thinks they're overpriced for what they are? It's confusing me a little, but I'm not trying to argue with anyone, just looking for some facts. I have ruled out 6.8 for my first PISTON carbine, so what should I look into for value and reliability in that field?

    Thanks for the info, I was suprised that people didn't like SOG weapons. I love their knives...
