Re: putting a 5.56 upper on 6.8 lower ??
As said above, the lower isn't caliber specific. Neither is the upper receiver, just the Bolt and barrel.
There re only a few things the AR10 and AR15 have in common. They look very similar, and are built on the same modular design, but nothing will interchange except trigger assemblies (except a large pin Colt), the A2 front sight and/or some gas blocks, some stocks/stock extensions, and some factory hand guards. Oh, and the pistol grip and trigger guard.
