    Question for AR guys

    Can I use 5.56 30 round pmags for a 6.8 upper? I was thinking that I was gonna buy a 5.56 but I got a 6.8 instead and now I have 2 pmags that I'm not sure will work. Thanks for the help guys!

    Not sure about the pmags. Some lowers can do 6.8. If not all.

          After 10 rounds the magazine body will bulge. But they work fine up to that point. Magpul just released a 6.8 pmag for LWRC's proprietary lower that will not fit in a standard AR magwell. Don't buy one thinking that it will fit because it wont.

            Don't the 6.8magazines have a different follower and magazine body from a 5.56?

              Cool I guess the best thing to do is go home and try it out.

                Yup. Like billy said, it will work for a low capacity. I've got an extra 25 round C-products 6.8 mag brand new, never fired if you are interested in it.

                ETA: Saw a bunch of 6.8 ammo of different varieties at the Fort Worth Cabelas on Friday.

                  Cool I will be out in that area tomorrow!

                  What would you want for the C mag 6.8?
