6 ARC

I was wondering if any of you use the 6 ARC in the AR platform. This may get into a brand name opinion thread but I'm looking to purchase a complete upper for my Aero Precision lower. I walk a lot when I call so am not looking to lug a heavy bull barrel around.
So what do guys use? Are you happy with the accuracy? What length barrel and twist? What ammo/ bullet weight are you using?
 
I have 2 ar uppers in 6arc. Believe it or not, the $240 BCA is the shooter of the 2. That inexpensive (read:stupid cheap gamble) shoots extremely well. It loves hornady precision hunter 103 gr bullets and routinely shoots them sub moa. Take it for whatever you think it’s worth….. I killed a doe, a nice mature 8 point buck, a bunch of hogs and a bobcat with it this year.
 
When the ARC 1st came out, I bought an upper from Brownells.

After 600 rounds, I sent it back, & got a replacement.

600 rounds later I sold it & went with a Shilen barrel ARC from Ranier Arms, & my accuracy issues disappeared.

Ultimately, I sold it to get a shorter barrel to run a can with, and went with a 6x6.8 instead, & found Nirvana.
