    I hate to break it to you, but SOG knives are not made by SOG Armory... they're made by SOG Specialty Knives & Tools.

    And, yes, SOG knives are very nice.

    Lol... hence the " " following that comment. I didn't know there was a SOG Armory until I happened across a carbine on GunBroker.

    Speaking of which, anyone have experience with the new Les Baer Gas Piston rifles? They look nice, and I've heard they can build a nice 1911, how about a rifle? But a 1:8 barrel, I've never sot one, personally...

    It's in my budget... what are my other options? Really prefer the monolith setup for this one, as my current AR isn't...

    Stay the **** away from SOG Armory, bro!!!

    Just log your ass onto Bravo Company's website right now and get yourself a badass 14.5" or 16" Mid-length carbine, with the top tier rail over your choice, that SOG couldn't even dream of nearing with their bullshit builds.

    One of my friends bought several carbines from SOG for several of his employees to take a class out at Blackwater. Not one, but TWO of the bolts in the guns he bought from SOG Armory literally snapped in half while firing! These were VERY low round-count guns too. They were also told upon buying the AR15s that the BCGs (and possibly other components such as the bbl) were made by Colt (this was during the height of the Obama gun scare buy off).

    When my buddy got back home from his carbine class, he went up to SOG and dropped his 2 broken bolts on their counter. The excuse that SOG gave my friend (who btw is a former 0311 Marine with plenty of time kicking down doors and killing bad guys in Iraq), was that, "You have to properly clean these things and keep them well lubed with CLP. That's exactly why they broke right there!"

    My friend damn near went ballistic on the dude, but held his temper and instead just asked for brand new bolts.

    I think I remember what happened afterwards, but I don't wanna say because I could be wrong, so I'll just leave it at that. I might actually still have the pics of the 2 broken bolts on my computer somewhere. I wanted to make sure I took pics of them b/c I'd never seen anything like that happen in my life. If any of you are interested, I can try can look for them and post them here tomorrow. That's IF I still have them though. I deleted a lot of firearms pics awhile back, but hopefully I held onto those at least.

    LWRC is not a monolithic rail.

    Sorry. By monolithic, I meant either true monolith OR monolith style, such as the M6 comes with. Is it a Larue Rail system?

    For "2 or 3 quick questions" you sure are all over the place. Like someone else suggested, go read the 68Forums for all you'll ever want to know about the caliber. Hell, if you're stuck on staying here on M4C, do a search...plenty of info comparing 5.56, 6.8spc, 6.5g, etc. both here and there.

    While you're at it, search here on LWRC and you'll find out about some quality issues and crappy customer service.

    If you want a quality 6.8 rifle right out of the box, go to Wilson Combat. You'll find out a lot about Bill's rifles on 68Forums, too.

    Just FYI - It's either monolithic or it isn't - "monolithic style" is simply aesthetics and is the same as a upper receiver with a Larue handguard (with a 3/4" gap on it) from a functional standpoint. Yes, it looks nicer, but it's functionally worthless.
