I'm in need of a BCG and bolt head for a 6.8 SPC AR. VA Arms does not carry BCGs, and neither does Sharpshooters. Does anyone in VA sell them, or am I going to have to go out of state (Internet) for this? I'd rather keep things in-state. Thanks.

Im not sure if he has them in stock but contact Dennis at Ashby Arms in Harrisonburg 540-438-1911 I know he has a couple of 6.8 Rifles in and a bunch of ammo for the 6.8 but Im not sure if he has any bolts in. I know if he doesnt have it he should be able to order it for you

Sharpshooters in Springfield has AR parts, but I don't think they have any 6.8 parts. I think you are going to have a hard time finding a shop that carries 6.8 AR parts.

I ended up talking to Harrison at AR15Performance and he express shipped the complete BCG with 6.8 bolt to me. I should be getting it today. I'll be heading up the VA Arms to have them resurrect my SPR and I should be good to go this weekend. BTW, Sharpshooters is now carrying complete BCGs and bolts but does not carry 6.8 bolts. That was news to me Friday.

Re: Local AR Parts dealers
I've found that most local shops only sell 5.56 bolts, so I had to go online. I like keeping my local gun shops in business, but if I'm looking for something off the beaten path, I have to order it. I doubt any store will carry bolts for anything x39 based, or any of the heavy hitters. I know VA Arms carries Barret 6.8 SPC magazines ($50!) but they're the only ones in the area that do.
Thanks everyone!
