Local AR Parts dealers

Post by jrswanson1 »

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.

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!
