That's a bum deal for sure. I have a Black Rain Ordnance in 6,8 PSC II upper on a Spikes Lower and love it. I know friends that have great guns that are RRA, PSA, Daniel Defense. Amazing how much we rely on CS and how a lot are good and a lot are bad. Hope it works out for you.

In 5.56 I'd go BCM or ARP and not look back. In a 6.8 I'd snatch an ARP SkeletAR before H runs out of parts - otherwise I'd build an ARP barrel into an upper myself (super easy and fun to build ... AR's are like erector sets).

I dont have a 5.56, just too darn light for defense (regardless of what is forced on the military). I have the 6.8, and will build a 300 AAC but I'm going to bite the bullet and build an SBR with 9" barrel and run a suppressor on it as soon as my paperwork is finished processing. That along with the .308 FN SCAR I have gives me a good selection of defensive rifles as far as anyone knows , , , , , , ,

Ron, Are you a member over at 68forums? That is a great board with very knowledgeable and helpful members. I don't have a 5.56 either, but have two 6.8's - a 16" and a 12" (configured as a pistol for now). I really like the 6.8 (have a set-up to reload for it) and have trouble figuring out why I would want a 300BO.

The SCAR in .308 I totally get!

No, I've surfed the site a few times but just haven't joined up. The 300 BLK runs well in suppressed supersonic or sub sonic and very flat path..300 AAC Blackout is a .308 bullet inserted in a cut down 5.56 casing. My older bro. has a 300 blk in piston form and he also has the dies to reload it. I like the 6.8 also, but I don't shoot in the 400-600 yd range or hunt, but it's a great caliber for sure and much more smack than a 5.56 . . the SCAR was my bargain gun bought from a friend prior to his divorce.

At this point, I am stuck between a BCM M4 Mod0 and a LMT Defender Standard Patrol (With SopMod Stock).

Just depends on the wait time for each and if I can find one or the other locally. But I'm pretty set on those two.

The LMTs are great rifles. I know 2 people with those and they run everything.

Got the rifle back today, ran it through the paces and it ran perfect. Tested out .223 and 5.56. GTG. Now It's up for sale... lol
