About the M6A2-SRT:The M6A2-SRT is a carbine rifle designed and manufactured in Springfield, Virginia by the Land Warfare Resources Corporation, based on the M4 Carbine, with which it shares 80% of its parts. Like the HK416 rifle, it features a proprietary short-stroke self-regulating gas piston system and bolt carrier/carrier key design, which prevents trapped gases from contacting the bolt carrier or receiver of the weapon, which reduces the heating and carbon fouling of the internals; simplifies field maintenance, and improves reliability.
Standard length barrel is 14.7 in, with a 1/7 in twist, and hard chrome lined bore (6 lands, right twist).

About the 6.8 mm SPC round:
The 6.8 mm Remington SPC (or 6.8x43mm) is a new rifle cartridge that was developed with collaboration from individual members of US SOCOM. Based upon the .30 Remington cartridge, it is midway between the 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x39mm in bore diameter and velocity. It is particularly adaptable to current 5.56 mm NATO firearms, the cartridge overall length being comparable.
Though ballistically similar to the 1950s-era .280 British, improved propellant powders allow the 6.8 mm to have a smaller case. The 6.8 mm SPC (Special Purpose Cartridge) has a muzzle velocity of 2,625 feet per second (800 m/s) from a 16 inch (406 mm) barrel using a 115-grain Hornady OTM bullet.
