The LWRC Six8 rifles are based on the short stroke gas piston operation providing you with the ultimate in reliability with the ergonomics of the AR platform. The 6.8mm SPC cartridge was originally developed for the US Special Operations soldiers to address the deficiencies with the 5.56mm cartridge. The goal was to create a cartridge that would fit the standard pattern AR-15 but provide better ballistics across all effective ranges. The lack of reliable magazines for the 6.8 has hindered the popularity of this cartridge until now. LWRC teamed up with Magpul to create a new polymer magazine specific to this platform. LWRC started by enlarging the magazine well to fit the Magpul polymer magazine and this partnership has spawned what is being heralded as a game changer.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

Based on the old 30 Remington case, the 6.8mm SPC (6.8mm Remington Special Purpose Cartridge) was developed in conjunction with Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and introduced by Remington in 2003 as a harder-hitting alternative to the 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge. Bullet diameter is .277-inch, same as the 270 Winchester, but the cartridge was developed to fit into the AR platform by switching out upper receivers, so shorter (lighter) bullets must be used. Standard is a 115-grain bullet at 2625 fps. Although the 6.8mm SPC has seen combat use in Southwest Asia with good results its wholesale adoption by the military seems unlikely. It has, however, found favor as a hunting cartridge in the AR platform; its many fans consider it an excellent deer cartridge out to perhaps 200 yards. — Craig Boddington
