hey now, we have more 6.8 on the shelf than 5.56, it's no slouch ballistically either.
plus now i have an AR and can use multiple uppers, i want a 556 upper too.

Why not get a Vepr in 308 or 30-06?

308's are out of stock except for the 16" barrel.
VEPR's dont dont come in .30-06

I hate the mags for the VEPR x54r

Next day off im going to take her apart and start on getting that duracoat off the barrel.
I think im going to duracoat the lower to match the rest.

odd looking gun, ive never seen one before.

[mountainredneck2051]

honestly dude i'd save the money your gonna spend on duracoat and just krylon spray paint that bitch

duracoat is nice but it doesn't really do much better than fricken spray paint does

Nice Rifle.

Dont bother stripping the barrel and get yourself some Aerovoe spray paint.   Here is a link to a "paint it" post on another forum that is pretty good.

I am not a fan of the 6.8SPC  after owning a couple.  In an AR patterned rifle I prefer the 300BLK as an alternative caliber.  With Either 5.56 or 300 I am effective to 300 with just a red dot.  That 6.8 will be as well.  Think about ditching the 4-12x as it will be much slower inside of 200.

For you folks who do not know CJS he is a well known "black rifle" builder in New England.

Glad you could make it!!!
