Looking around on the internet last night, I found that Barret is producing an AR-15 style semi-auto chambered for the new 6.8 SPC. I got to thinking, and was looking at the price. You can buy the complete weapon for $2700, or the upper for roughly $1600. I also went to Brownell's and you can get a complete DPMS lower for $300 or so, which would bring the total cost of the gun down to $1900, savings of $800!!!

Has anyone had a chance to handle or fire the complete Barrett weapon, or has anybody purchased the upper to put on their current AR-15 Lower? Just a thought that started going through my mind last night, and it looked pretty interesting. I am not seeing any other manufacturers that are producing an upper chambered to the 6.8 SPC.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
