Just recieved my latest copy of a USMC publication I subscribe to and they highlighted this rifle. Thought some of you might be interested, not sure if I have seen this mentioned on the boards yet. Also, link below to download the article, I scanned it.
Barret M468 - MCA
Barrett M468 6.8mm Semiautomatic Rifle
The weapon for delivering the new 6.8mm Remington cartridge is basically an AR15 / M16 / M4 rifle, with a few added features. Barrett calls the new rifle the M468 [it has not been type classified], and is being built in both a civilian-legal model, and also in a close quarters battle (CQB) configuration. Complete rifles or the upper conversion units are available.
The Barrett M468 leaves the performance of the 5.56mm for others to ponder. The M468 can be utilized by law enforcement, military, and civilian shooters. The performance of the 6.8mm Remington SPC far surpasses that of the 5.56 mm. This opens new hunting opportunities in states where the 5.56mm is too small for larger game.
Barrett’s upper has a sixteen and a half inch barrel, lined in hard chrome with a one in ten twist and is full floating thanks to the ARMS system hand guard, that is loaded with accessory rails. The 6.8mm is bigger than the .223 but does not have the recoil of the .308.
