Interesting, if true. The only .mil folks using 6.8 SPC that I've heard of are the Jordanian and Saudi Royal Guards, which have LWRC 6.8 SBRs.

Translated title is "Royal Guard Shooting" -- the SBRs appear to be the LWRC Six8 UCIW (same weapon seen in the photo above).

FWIW, there have been unsubstantiated claims of USMGA 6.8 LMGs being sold to Middle East customers.
