FNH SCAR love, anyone?

[rcm192]

Any of you guys shoot a scar 16 or 17? Let see some pics and descriptions of the bells and whistles if so.

Heres mine:

FNH SCAR 16 in FDE
ACOG TA31F in LaRue LT100 mount
Midwest Industries replacement rail
GG&G rear qd mount
Magpul Kgrip (shaved grip and lower)
Streamlight TLR1HP
VTAC padded sling

I plan on upgrading more as i go:
MI Keymod rail extension
Stryker Ind EACH
Some type of aftermarket single stage trigger
Different brake to accomodate a future can
Thorntail Keymod offset mount
Insight WML

Wow man, thats pretty badass. Im gonna have to save up some pennies for a 10" barrel. They dont come too cheap.

Have you looked at the metal lowers for both the 16 and 17 by Stryker Ind? He just announced the one for the 16. Looks promising, but once again expensive like everything else for the platform.

ALSO, Who did your engravings?

Hahaha

I would post a pic of my 17, but it's bone stock so not too much to show

Hey man, all the SCAR love is welcome here.

I got a FDE16S with a MI extended forearm, SF m600 Scout FDE and an EOTech XPS2. No pics right now.

I've owned both a 16 and 17 unfortunately I had to sell them both.

Lets keep this thread going! Nice setups Ranslem.

Where do you guys with the SBRed SCARs have your engravings?

I want a 10" barrel and it doesnt really leave much room for engraving on the barrel....check out this low profile location of engraving done by ident. I went to westbank engraving and he said he could mimic it. What do you guys think? I really wanted to stay off the reciever if at all possible and do the barrel.

I was saving my pennies to get one until Beretta released their ARX-100 and Sig released their 556xi, at which point the decision came between those two. I still have a special place in my heart for the SCAR though.

I think Everyone had one at some point... then needed a little cash and sold em... Not the FOTM anymore.

I think the general consensus is that everyone loves the rifle but hates the price.

Got to handle both the sig and the beretta before they hit the shelves....the sig would be my choice of the two based on feel. The beretta felt real cheap. I cannot speak for the way they perform.

I can understand this. I traded for mine from another member on here and got a nice deal. I woulda never shelled out the actual price that was on the original receipt. But hey, what ever boils your crawfish.

Love my little SCAR

It has a lot of polymer which gives some people the impression that it feels cheap, but it's also a good bit lighter. Weight is pretty important if you ever end up having to use it a lot. I'll vouch for how durable the polymer is though. I've done my research on them and people have put it through a lot of torture testing and it holds up really well. I wouldn't run over it with a tank, but to be fair I can't think of any other gun I'd feel comfortable rolling over with a tank either, including the SCAR.

Speaking of FNH guns, has anyone noticed the price on the PS-90 drop drastically over the past year or so? I think it used to run at like 1900, and now i'm seeing them around 1100. Not that I want one even at that price, but still. I'm speculating that is due to the Tavor hitting the market since it's probably competing in the short higher quality(as in not hipoint/keltec) bullpup market, but I may be missing something. Either way, I'm wondering if that'll happen with the SCAR as well.

I know this is coming in a bit late, but I was looking for some SCAR stuff on here. I have Stryker's lower for the 17 and dig it. Gives the gun a different feel entirely. Buddy showed me the EACH on his and I kind of went all out after that. G trigger makes that thing awesome too

Ive read a good bit over on FNforum about his products. I will scoop up a lower for the 16 in time. $400 aint cheap to replace a lower....not paramount on my list. Class 3 stuff is!
