6mm ARC is quickly becoming one of the most versatile rounds for the AR-15. With better ballistic coefficients and velocity than 5.56 and .223 and a flatter shooting experience compared to .308, it’s no wonder this cartridge is becoming wildly popular! The Dirty Bird 6mm ARC complete upper is great for anything from hunting medium to large game, hitting targets at a 1000 yards with ease, and everything in between.
The 18″ 6mm ARC Complete Upper is built with accuracy and maneuverability in mind, which is why we went with the following components:
