Title: AR 6.8spc Bolt in WA
Post by: USMC Hammer on October 17, 2012, 03:38:48 PM: Due to a colossal mistake on my part, I ordered the wrong sized bolt carrier group for my new AR15. Instead of a 6.8 bolt, I accidentally ordered the .223 :bash:

I planned to go hunting this weekend, and now I don't know what to do.

Does any one know of a place here in the state that may have a 6.8 bolt in stock?

Much thanks for any guidance you may have!

Btw, I really appreciate everyone on this forum. Absolutely blows me away the kindness and generosity to share, and generally help a guy when he's down.

Thanks again! :tup:
