AR15 - SBR- 6.8 SPC Comp Testing

AR15 -SBR- 6.8 SPC I did this video for the owner of the gun so he could send it in to Battlecomp. I got to shoot it a little bit as well and it was very easy to manage. We were testing two comps he had and the Battlecomp was the best out of the two. The rifle as we shot it that day was 100% in about 65rnds between three of us for the comp testing. Weather was HOT and HUMID and there were problems with the safety glasses fogging up.

Here's the specs:

Registered noveske lower receiver
Noveske 8.5 in barrel - 6.8SPC
Daniel defense lite7.0 rail
Magpul moe grip, afg, trigger guard, sights
Aimpoint h1 sight
Vltor i-mod stock
H2 buffer
Battlecomp BABC compensator
Geissele ssa trigger
Lmt lower parts, lmt bolt carrier group
Complete refinish in norrel's black moly resin

Yeah, me too! The eyepro was still on top of his head!

@BattleComp & niteqwill00  heh, yup, no eye pro. Noticed that just now myself.

[moistfaucet]

a lot of smoke ? expose the location is it ?

I would like to see jp's capture spring system for 6.8

[Chlypeprfan]

I've smoked a lot of dudes with 77gr 5.56 and couldn't believe what they looked like afterwards. Just sayin...

@545Krinkify No offense, but you're speaking from personal assumptions, not practical application or exercise. We've gone from AR SBR ballistics are shit, to yeah, 6.8 is better for shorter ranges, to stocks are bad, to lasers and shotguns for HD. All totally unrelated to the purpose of the video, showing the very limited recoil of the 6.8 SBR using a BABC. This particular setup, for me, works, maintains fundamentals that apply both indoors and outdoors, and allows for consistency in training

@545Krinkify At 27 inches in total length, stock isn't an issue indoors. Even better, can be deployed in vehicle from the driver's position without hitting the door frame. Platform stability is always a plus indoors or out. To stabilize a "stockless" PDW, accepted practice is to push out against the sling for stability. At that point your at the same overall length or more than something the size of this SBR.

Having built several AR's in both 5.56 and 6.8, recoil is unnoticeable.

@545Krinkify The idea behind this WAS with regards the barrel length, and the 6.5 wasn't even considered. For out past 600, there's better options than 6.5 as well. I know personally of 650 yd prarie dog kills with .223 rounds from a bolt rifle, I don't get the point.

The idea behind this is optimum performance from as short as possible barrel length within the 300 yard requirement. It is definitely NOT inteded to be competition for 6.5 (which, in the required standard, the 6.5 would lose).

[griffonsec]

@545Krinkify Ballistics aside? Really? Terminal effectiveness to 300yds from a 8.5" barrel is subpar? The only advantage to a folding stock is concealment, stability pushed out with a sling is nothing compared to a stock fixed into place. No advantage whatsoever there. Erosion problems are a non issue when properly cared for, and there's documented 30k+ round rifles with minimal cleaning on the AR platform to make that argument a non starter to the point it nauseating.

[griffonsec]

@545Krinkify There's plenty of actual research to support that the 6.8 is IDEAL for SBR's in the AR platform, with superior terminal performance over the 7.62x39 (and so much more than the 5.45). At over 400 yds, sure, the 6.5 is ideal, but not practical, as most engagements are within 300 yds. 85gr SSA ammunition chrono'd out to be effective to just over 300 yds out of this particular 8.5" setup, 120gr Hornady to over 225yds. Built to suit a purpose, and handles it most effectively.

watch dudes eyes.... he does not blink... crazy!!!
