MnStrkTom, I did some more research, and I really did think it was a necked down 7.62x39 but you're completely right. It is based off a 30 Rem instead.
Thanks for pointing that out. I learned something new today and I apologize for the misinformation and I'm going to be eating crow for supper now.:|
I also noticed this is your first post. In my best Darth Vader impersonation:
Impressive...Most impressive.
:lol:
Is the 6.8SPC case a necked up .223? What is the parent case?
The parent case is .30 Remington, shortened to fit the AR15 magazine OAL.[PNC] This is slightly larger in diameter than .223, so a new bolt is required. Magazine capacity is slightly reduced vs. 5.56 in the proper mags.[1]
