More SHOT Show Goodies
Defense Review has more quick hits from the SHOT Show. Leitner-Wise is making a gas piston operated AR-15 in 6.8SPC. Any word on the availability of ammo for that? I’m pondering eventually getting either a 6.8 or the 6.5 Grendel but my decision hinges entirely upon ammo availability.
And Arfcommer SMGLee has tons of pics.

Neither looks to become military issue, but:
6.8 was developed and is loaded by Remington.
6.5 is loaded by, er, who was that again? 😉

Exactly how would a gun that has a gas-piston instead of the AR-15 action and fires a different caliber still be an “AR-15”?

I’ve got two boxes of 6.8. I bought ’em to use with a buddy’s rifle after he complained he couldn’t find any.
