Is this yours or did they jump on the bandwagon??

Very nice!!!!

[constructor]

I converted it

[Aramark]

you know you can't just say that. What are you going to do?

[constructor]

I have 1 converted and have 1 more to do.
Not sure if I want to convert my SCAR yet.
This adds quite a bit of cost to the Sig, SCAR or ACR and don't know if there is a market for it but, I do have a ACR to convert for a customer.
I use the parts from the donor rifle so it isn't a quick change back to 5.56.

Yum !!! That's got Zest

[RugerIte]

What? Not going to S-Carb:a37: the barrel?

[angsniper]

Oh that is just fricken nice!:a37::a37::a37:

[Jason-sig556]

What would you need from someone if they already had a 556 that they wanted to convert to 6.8? What kind of cost?

[constructor]

The complete rifle and $500, I have to modify the bolt which cannot be reversed but it doesn't harm the 5.56 barrel. There is no such thing as good cheap barrel blanks in a 6.8, the cheap ones are 10 twist and AR barrels are not big enough so these must be made from full size premium stainless blanks.

[Jason-sig556]

Ok thanks for the info wish it was easier like with the AR where it was just an Upper to swap.

[constructor]

Sig serial numbers are on the upper and the barrels aren't just clamped in with a barrel nut.
These are like headspacing a bolt gun, the receiver is needed.
