I have an extra Bushmaster wth an 11.5 that I am tired of.
I am thinking about re-uppering it to 6.8 SPC. But I checked the Bushmaster site and they only have 16 inch barrels listed.
SO...
1. I can settle for a 16 inch barreled upper and kept the 5.56 shorty upper.
2. Try to find a 20 inch upper in 6.8 and put a regular buttstock and buffer spring assembly on her. I think a full 20 inch would make the 6.8mm a real critter getter.
3. Sell the whole shorty carbine and just buy a 6.8mm spc from somebody...
I am pondering the cost differences. I have not bought any civilian AR parts for 10 years or so...
Any thoughts???
