I sure like my M6A2.

 

I saw those Doc...not a bad deal!

How are the other goodies btw? Get your ubber cool sniper rifle yet?

 

It's due sometime this month but everyone (NHC, POF, LWRC and LaRue) are all running behind schedule. Oh well, I just hope they get done before dear leader ******* says no more.....

 

I don't understand the difference between the M6A2 & M6A3 - so I guess I'll have to run up there this weekend to ask ?'s & take a look !

 

Man, SGC always gets nice goodies in stock!

From what I have seen, the main differences on the M6A3 are:

1. Mid-length gas piston system, has a softer recoil pulse to help stay on target
2. 4-position adjustable gas value: Off, Suppressed, Normal, Adverse (dirty)
3. One piece BCG, this is said to be stronger then the 2-piece version found on other models, and is supposed to be implemented into the M6A2 in the future
4. Front flip-up iron sight is attached to the gas block rather then the rail

LWRCi says that the M6A3 was intended to be a designated marksman rifle, so I think these are some good additions if that is what you are looking for. The 4-position gas valve seems most useful for running a suppressor. If you are looking to keep it a bit more simple, the M6A2 is a great weapon. I have spent some time with my buddies 14.7" M6A2 in 6.8 and like it very much, it is an awesome piece of hardware.

 

The difference in the two for most people on this forum are nil.

The only reason to take an A3 over an A2 would be simply because you can.

 

The option to adjust for a can is interesting -that would be the only reason I would need to update from the M6A2.

 

Hmmm I might have to go for this... That S&B Short Dot would go nicely.

 

That is a smokin' deal from SGC. LWRC has such tight margins that It is hard to believe they can pull that deal off and still make ANYTHING. I guess it pays to be the largest civilian LWRC dealer.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm buying one tomorrow... scouting out different optics. Any input on the Elcan DR 1-4x?
