In
this YouTube interview, Colion Noir discusses three weapons with a Geissele representative, among them Geissele's 6mmARC rifle (at 2:13) developed for the military. At 5:01 the rep says, “I’m confident you’re going to see a lot more of this caliber and a lot more of this rifle — definitely within special operations — but throughout the Department of Defense. I’m very confident.”

Mmmmmmm: "geometry to provide reliable feeding". It would be interesting to hear what that means. Mags only or maybe something with the mag well or barrel extension.
(And he mentions at the end that the PDW is full auto!)

Rep says Geissele was unhappy with the reliability of ALL existing 6A magazines and made their own. If so, sell 'em to the public!

I heard that they are going to sell them... But the price tag is a little steep $50.00 a piece. I personally out of probably 15 or so mags ran across only one that gave me any problems. And the fix was easy. But I only run the 10 round mags because I use my Arc's for precision shooting except one, my beater rifle a 20" heavy fluted Faxon barrel gasser. But I really still have not beat on it to bad. The folks at the range just scratch their heads when I unload 10 rounds into the 300 yard steel plate in under 10 seconds with 10 out of ten hits. The old folks tell me that's some fine shootin son. Kinda makes me feel good, if only they realized how close I am to their age, I look young for 62, I have been told I look 45.
If you can not see the tyranny of having a gun ban enforced by men with guns... Then you fail to understand why the second amendment was written in the first place.

Meh. A full-auto 5.56 with 8" barrel is nothing new.

I am reminded that Geissele again was featuring their 6mmARC offerings at SHOT Show 2023.
My gut feeling is something's up.
Further, I just had a product development manager from a HUGE national brand with certain ties to the defense industry just buy a couple of my bolts and extractors. I could well be fantasizing, but my feeling is people are studying — behind the scenes — how to do 6mmARC right for various reasons.

Here's hoping you have some patents/trademarks for any improvements you developed, I'd hate to think some company would try to come in and copy/chinesium-ize your hard work.

Anybody have Geissele 6mm ARC mags? Seems like they missed the mark. I want a 25 rd mag for the 6 ARC not 15 or 30 rd mags.

Weird! It works for me now. Yesterday when I clicked on the link, I got the message the site address wasn't legit. Oh well ...
