LWRC SIX8-A5 6.8mm SPC II Semi-Automatic AR-15 Rifle, FDE - SIX8A5RCK16

The 6.8x43mm SPC II cartridge was developed as a part of the enhanced rifle cartridge program to address the deficiencies in terminal performance seen with 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge while allowing the soldier to carry the same number of rounds with a minimal weight penalty. By using a heavier projectile, the 6.8 round offers more impact energy than the 5.56 NATO round across all effective ranges, effectively bridging the gap in lethality between 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO. A major drawback of using the 6.8 cartridge in an M4 style weapon has been the lack of reliable magazines. To solve this issue, we designed our SIX8 family of weapons around the magazine. Through a partnership with Magpul, the leader in polymer magazine engineering, we designed the first polymer 6.8 magazine. The SIX8 PMAG features many of the same design characteristics of the standard PMAG, including the curved shape and familiar texture. The body is slightly wider, and the walls were strengthened in critical areas. Our red follower makes the SIX8 magazine easy to pick out of a pile. The upper and lower receivers are designed to accommodate the slightly larger polymer magazine and to perfect the feed geometry for the 6.8 cartridge. As with the IC family, the weapons in the SIX8 family are fully ambidextrous. Our SIX8 rifles are, put simply, the familiar stoner M4/AR-15/M16 architecture fully optimized for the 6.8 cartridge.Features:LWRCI proprietary upper and lower receivers optimized for the 6.8 SPC II cartridgeLWRCI cold hammer forged spiral fluted NiCorr-treated barrelLWRCI adjustable 2-position gas blockLWRCI birdcage (A2) flash hiderLWRCI Skirmish back up iron sightsLWRCI enhanced fire control groupLWRCI ambidextrous sling mountLWRCI 12 inches user configurable rail systemLWRCI ambidextrous charging handlefully ambidextrous lower receiverLWRCI adjustable compact stockMagpul MOE(+) gripComes with picitany rail sections for attachmentsAll LWRCI forgings are coined - the material is struck twice in the die for precise dimensional accuracy and a superior surface finishBlack nitride treated LWRCI heavy-profile barrel is precisely torqued in our factory to a consistent torque setting, cold hammer forged 1:10 twist stabilizes a wide range of bullet typesPatented LWRCI short-stroke gas piston system offers unparalleled reliability and easy maintenanceLWRCI advanced trigger guard is oversized to allow for easy operation with glovesNickel-boron coated bolt carrier for unparalleled wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and permanent lubricityMagpul MOE(+) grip combines reinforced polymer body construction with comfortable wrap-around rubber over molding for maximum weapon control in adverse environmentsFully-ambidextrous lower receiver controls include the bolt catch and release, the magazine release, and the safety selector
