Didn't realize you guys were jumping into 6 ARC, and was super intrigued when I saw the barrels on the new guns are hammer forged and chrome lined.

Any plans on selling just the hammer forged and chrome lined 6 ARC barrlels?

As you mentioned we are just releasing the full 6mm ARC platform. Right now we are focused on delivering that as a complete system. Down the road, we'll likely offer up various parts, but for now, we're all about getting these out in their complete form. Also, some elements of the system are advanced and proprietary, such as the phased array gas system, those details may play into what comes out as parts. It's hard to say now, we'll know more later this year.

Excited to see how these perform. I hear 6mm ARC is a super dirty round.

Why would it be any dirtier than anything else? The type of propellant used is what differentiates how clean ot dirty a certain cartridge is.

I've loaded 6mmAR for years and it's an absolute dream to work with. I'd say more versatile than either the Grendel or the 22 ARC. Being able to go from 55-110 grains from squirrel bombs to whitetail round to long range target rounds.

Drop is close to the popular 6.5 Creedmoor with match ammo.

The only two missing pieces have always been the bolt/barrel extension and magazines that kept this round from being a serious LE/MIL round.

Seems like Geissele has solved that, and make no mistake if they can standardize 30rd quality magazines and long-term life of internals combined with a new gas system that has the potential to change how we vent DI guns altogether? Huge win for everyone.

I say piss on the Spear, THIS would be the ideal righting rifle.

I'm beyond hyped about Geissele putting out these guns. Between the bolt, the upper receiver being modded for 6arc,  chrome lined cold hammer forged barrels , and these magazines that don't look like complete shit, plus they hold thirty rounds. I basically lost my mind for a little when they put these models up on their site.

I've never been more excited about an Ar15 in my life.

They are going to be hard to keep in stock, so be sure to sign up for the return-to-stock notification for the item(s) you are most interested in. When inventory is added, you'll get a message letting you know they are available.

Is there a good thread somewhere that lays out all the advantages of the 6 ARC over 5.56, 6.5 Grendel, or 6.5 CM?

Any idea what the twist rate is on the G 6arc barrels?

Trying to figure out how 6arc round stacks up on a ballistic app compared to some others I’m looking at.

I’m not a reloader so my biggest hesitation is if this is a short lived production round.

Geissele isn't specifying at the moment, but a 1:8 is what is most commonly used and will shoot 55-108gr reliably.

The round has government contracts now, and will continue to absorb sales of other AR Variants due to Hornadys fantastic marketing and the niche the 6mmARC fills.

If Geisseles magazines are available and reliable that alone will draw even more traction for the 6mm.

I'd like to say dive in, but politics being what they are everything is nerve wrecking nowdays.
