I just completed ordering the parts for my 6.8 SPB build. I decided to build a customer lower and purchase a complete upper half from Stag Arms. I'm a left hand shooter and Stag is the best offering for a south paw.
My AR-15 6.8mm SPC Left hand shopping list follows:
Lower receiver components:
Sun Devil AR-15 Multi caliber, Billet aluminum, CNC Machined Lower Receiver
RRA AR-15 Lower Parts Kit w. Nation Match 2 Stage 3.5# Trigger
DPMS AR-15 Ambi Safety Selector LR-08B
MagPul AR-15 MIAD Enhanced Trigger Guard Aluminum Matte black
Command Arms Butt stock Assembly 6-Position Commercial Diameter Collapsible AR-15 Carbine Synthetic Black (By the way the rail and storage door components are reversable on this stock to make it lef handed.)
M16 Clinic Buffer Pad II AR-15
Upper receiver parts:
Stag Arms Left-handed Upper Half Model 5HL, 6.8 SPC chamber, gas block, 16" chrome lined 1:11 twist w. magazine included
1 - 5 Rd magazine needed for legal hunting in some states
The Stag Arms online store lists 5, 10 and 25 round magazines all for $30
I have already received my order from Stag and notice that the magazine included with the AR-15 upper half was stamped with the Stag Arms logo. The extra 5 round mag. ordered was stamped ASC LLC. A quick Google search revealed that ASC is a company named Ammunition Storage Components. http://www.ammosc.com/ So they are another source of magazines. The Stag Arms stamped magazine I received looks identical in construction and are as the ASC and both are stainless steel mags. So I believe ASC manufactures the Stag Arms branded mags. You will find that ASC price is $18 for the 25 round magazines that Stag sells for $30. A significant saving!
Now, I did some additional reading about 6.8 SPC magazines and you should read about the Barrett 30 round 6.8 SPC mags. Barrett clearly makes the best high capacity 30 round magazine for the 6.8 SPC. http://packpractical.com/reviews/bmr.php
I'm planning to do some testing too. But that will have to wait till my build is complete.
Stay tuned and have a great day!
