so why is NATO important.... and that we conform to using their milspec ammo types?
Not being a smart alec as I sometimes am, but I honestly don't know.
Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

NATO are our " allies" and in a time of conflict we can interchange ammo as we may be on the lines with them. example ww2. On the lines with brits they shot 303- we shot 06. Not swappable.
Its one reason you think a LOT about your US survival weapon-- if the SHTF here ever - NO is prime example of small scale what could happen- then whats most common etc....22lr is a good example

Rost,
The MK262 is a step forward.
I never intended to allude to the 6.8 being viable in the political arena that is NATO.
Your Military contacts observations mirror mine.
From running both I gotta agree.
The difference is slight.
The 6.8 might be a good Deer cartridge however, and allow some flexibility.
Availability of ammo for the 6.8 is troublesome at best.
There are rumors of things getting better in supply, in that regard, but even Big Green has backed off.
Possibly Pederson had the answer all along.
Keep safe!

What answer did Pederson have?

The 276 Pederson intermediate sized cartridge.
Actually, if you go back to the 1920s, you'll find that the US Army used a group of modified Remington 8 automatics, fitted with peepsight and different handguards, to test the concept of a semi-automatic main battle rifle. Ballistically, the 25 Remington isn't too far removed from the 6.8 SPC.

I would like to get a 6.8 flat top upper for my M4 type Bushmaster. My eleven year old son handles this rifle so well with the stock collapsed it fits him just right. He can really hammer targets 50 and 100 yards away. I believe if we swap out uppers for the 6.8, it would make a good deer rifle for him. I'm hoping Bushmaster will introduce this some time before next years season, if not I would consider other makes.

it would make a good deer rifle for him If .22 centerfires are legal for deer in your state, using a Nosler Partition or the new heavier Barnes TSX would also make a good deer gun for him.

4570,
Holler at Bravocompanyusa. com
Paul is backlogged, but will be even more so in the future, now that Hornady is offering factory loads.
Should mount up on your bushy lower with no issues.
Keep corrupting the kid!
It is appreciated!
Keep safe!

I will keep corrupting him. He's getting a Winchester 1300 20 gauge youth shotgun and a box of clay pigeons for christmas. He thinks it's pretty cool telling his friends he shoots that Bushmaster, as well as a lot of other guns. I will check on Bravo Company USA. Thanks.
