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.

What are you referring to? What description where? Not trying to be a jerk but he asked about twist, non heavy barrels,length and such. I'm following interested in the same.
He gets I had two (no details) didn't like it went another direction And now this response about ?
It appears that 1/8 twist is the norm, meant to shoot heavies The question as I see it is barrel length
 
You said you were waiting on the answer to profile/length. To me that means bull/hbar/pencil etc and 16"/18"/20"etc. Both of which are in the description of the uppers/barrels.
Sorry if i misunderstood what you were waiting on.
