However, there's a post today on 68forums that seems more than just a hint at military use:
[COLOR="blue"]"These mags were not developed for the civilian market.
The design criteria: 1) will not lock into a standard magwell for those units that run 6.8 alongside 5.56 and 2) match the magazine geometry of 5.56 with a fatter cartridge for improved feeding reliability.
In addition, at my suggestion, the maximum COAL was increased...
There is a lot more to this than is public at this time. More information should be released in the next few weeks."[/COLOR]
