SRT (different name for SWAT in case you're an autist) operator here. My agency purchased SCAR's for our team last year. While I like heavy rifles personally, these are stupid heavy, especially for their size. Also, our firearms fgts fucked with the gas systems and slowed down the rate of full auto so much that they end up jamming more often than not. I gave mine back and use my 10.5" M4 back. Long story short, don't waste your fucking money.

what? the heaviest SCAR(Mk20 SSR 10.6lbs) is still pounds lighter than a basic bitch FAL. I can't see how a 7.9lbs(16inch), full size battle rifle is considered"stupid heavy" when everything else in it's class weighs more.

>>
>>29941101

Let's just assume he's referencing the 5.56mm SCAR 16 that weighs 7.25lbs. That's "stupid heavy" according to him compared to a Colt 6940 at 6.8lbs.

The notion that you need to reduce cyclic rate on a weapon that only fires 600rpm to begin with is laughable. But let's just pretend that was an actual thing...

It would require the "firearm fgts" to either somehow increase the mass of the bolt carrier or replace the gas jet with a smaller port diameter. Both of which are highly improbable. The only other way to choke the SCAR of momentum is to flip the gas regulator to the suppressed setting without attaching anything to the muzzle to compensate.

Therefore, once again assuming this poster isn't bullshitting out his ass, the only logical conclusion one can arrive at is the simple determination that he is a complete and utter moron who doesn't even know how to work his own weapon.

They are good guns, just not exactly price efficient.

If you're the kind of person that has the expendable income to spend a bunch of money on marginally better parts, then go for it. However if you aren't exactly rich, just save yourself the trouble and get a decent AR.

Also don't get the 5.56 version, just wasted potential for long range shooting if you do.

Assuming you replace the bolt and barrel every 15,000 rounds for your AR, what is the average cost? $400?

Assuming a run of the mill AR15 costs $800 and a SCAR 16 is $2400, you'd need to shoot 75000 rounds for the SCAR to be the better value. That's roughly 300 rounds per month over 20 years.

Sure, the CSR20 is a SCAR derivative.
Much like the AR15 comes from an old school AR10, and modern AR10s come from AR15s.

I just take the difference between them to mean its a different rifle. Your looking at broad strokes. And being salty as fuck about it.

Because it was part of the SCAR program... and wait for it... "SCAR family of weapons"

No, you're just autistic enough to insist that the Mk20 isn't a SCAR when everybody to include the manufacturer have declared that it is.

And what's with this "they use it differently" bullshit? Their product nomenclature is fairly straightforward and consistent. Though I shouldn't be surprised a mental invalid like you is having trouble understanding it.

You have yet to refute anything, the core of your argument is that I'm using the SCAR term to refer to the 16 and 17, and bundling the grenade launcher and mk20/csr20 in with it. That somehow I'm wrong to refer to calling them all together as the SCAR family.

It's the first issue of a newer concept, however it's progress has been stalled since the army cancelled it's trials. But since it's FN it still rocks, just has some small kinks that need to be worked out in the next release. Namely the reciprocating charging handle, the bulk, and the lack of a bullpup variant. Reliability wise it's solid, but it's not far enough from the AR to justify the price, no matter how outdated the AR is and it most certainly is.

The MSBS and MDR are picking up where the SCAR and ACR left off.

Why not just say every practical idea is failed, like modular rifles in general? The bullpup is great in concept and very close to being great in performance. We're talking about modernization for the sake of practicality and performance here, wasn't that the point of guns like the SCAR? Not to mention the same awesome, innovative company that makes it... (makes a lot of bullpups)

MSBS already exists just not in the States. MDR already took preorders and ships next quarter.

The MSBS does indeed. The standard rifle configuration passed Poland tests. The Bullpup has not. Bullpup isnt particularly practical. You introduce a whole host of issues, just to save 4 or 5 inches of OAL? No thanks.

Well. In some cases the idea is a short as possible OAL. Im not saying that the bullpup is completely terrible. Just that the trade off is not often worth it.

I shot a 16, I loved it. Lightweight, great shooter, accurate out of the box, all the best parts of an AR made a little better. It's all the better I think as a 7.62, it's hard to argue for a better battle rifle than the SCAR.

Reciprocating bolt handle is the only real downside. That is largely subjective though, but by and large it's disliked, mostly because of the placement and is generally considered the only thing you need to replace with an after-market accessory if you replace anything.

Oh, and the price. Lord almighty that thing is overpriced. If it was under $2,000 I could understand, and it'd probably be a lot more prevalent that way. I can all but guarantee you all the Tavor fanboys would be buying SCAR rifles instead if it was price more competitively.

And you post the MSBS, and Radom cant even get the bullpup models to pass the polish tests. To be fair, the MSBS looks to be the least worst of the bullpups, if Radom can get it to work properly. If they added an adjust LOP feature, id get one as soon as it hit stateside.

>it's progress has been stalled since the army cancelled it's trials

The SCAR trials were never canceled. FN won the final selection and completed Milestone C of the acquisition process. Or in other words, the SCAR FOW (Mk16, Mk17, Mk13, Mk20) were fully adopted by the US Military.

It can hardly be labeled a "kink" when that feature was specifically requested by the userbase by which the weapon was being developed for.

now, im sure someone soon will tell me about r&d and manufacturing costs etc. im just saying at its price point, im not interested.
for an investment like this, i highly recommend tracking one down and test firing

They think a company known for making high end precision bolt action rifles will be able to engineer, manufacturer, and support a low cost semi auto rifles.

>>29965265
R&D/manufaturing costs have nothing to do with it. FN sells 16s to LE Departments for $999.99 routinely. The reason why the 17s sell for so much, is that the high end .308 ARs also sell for over $2500. The market will bear it. If DD offered their .308 for say, $1750 street price, youd see a $1800 17s.

>>29965675
Its the subset of bullpup fanboys that are clamoring over it. Lionizing something unreleased, untest, is easy. It can be all things to all people. Its not everyone. Its that everyone else who isnt on the hype train couldnt care less about it. They know its not a game change, its probably going to be a non starter. Id be delighted if I was wrong though.

bullpup market in the US is very limited. BP guys dont have a lot to get excited over.
the MDR gives them something new and makes a lot of promises. i guess we'll see

I'm going to give you an honest to god 100% meme-free answer:

Just use the money you put towards a SCAR to buy yourself all the parts to make a top-quality AR-15. It's the exact same thing if not a tad better in performance (but I will agree SCARs are aesthetically pleasing).

Or you could get a high quality AR-10 and still apply my answer. Literally not that hard to think of.
>>
>>29966842
Lets just take a look at the high end AR10 prices since your budget is that slim.

Daniel Defense - $2750
LaRue Predatar - $2950
LMT .308 - $3200
KAC SR25 - $3500+ (if you can find one in stock)

Scar 17s? $2650

>>29966911
>Daniel Defense
I don't understand the appeal of a an AR in .308. The modularity of the platform is brutally tourniqueted when you move from .223 to .308. Let alone the price on a largely untested platform.

>LaRue
Why would you buy a rifle from Mark LaRue, ever?

>LMT
It's more of a DMR than a battle rifle, so that's not quite a fair comparison.

>KAC SR-25
I don't know enough about these to comment, but the price tag is too high to interest me.

>>29967230
So your not a fan of .308
And the SCAR, or any high end .308 AR can easily be used as a DMR. Cheaper rifles wont be as accurate. Comparing to an LMT or other similar rifles that can be used as a BR or DMR is valid.

Needs an optic
>>
I was looking for a semiautomatic 308 rifle, and I have a suppressor in .308 that I would like to have a threaded barrel for. I thought about a SCAR but I read that their threading sucks, like it's misaligned and its easy to screw up the threads so I passed.

I ended up getting a Bushmaster. I think the SCAR also had their own magazines, whereas the Bushmaster used the more common pattern (not the Armalite type).

pic related, I'm too assed to find the model number but it looks like this.

How do I align the barrel properly?

For sure, that's next on the list after vacation costs this year, trying to narrow down my options. Might just slap a strike eagle on it until I can afford a real optic, then move the eagle to my basic bitch AR
>>
>>29970573
Threading is fine. It's a pencil barrel, some flash hiders need a shim.

>How do I align the barrel properly?

What?
>>
>>29970693
I'm stupid and just googled it. Some SCARs came out the factory with barrels torqued to the far right and left, making it a bitch to zero. Just figured out I need a T-25 screwhead set to align the barrel properly.
>>
>>29970733
If you're experiencing problems, then remove the barrel and reinstall it. If you're not, don't bother. You'd need a torque wrench set to 62-inch pounds as well to correctly reinstall the barrel.
>>
>>29970813
62 inch pounds is finger tight.
>>
>>29940319
Between my dad and I we have a SCAR 16, SCAR 17, AR-15 and AR-10. I've shot all of them extensively. I vastly prefer the AR platform. There are some cool things about the SCAR (particularly the 17) but none that justify the enormous price differential between them and the ARs.
>>
>>29965182
No it's not, haven't you seen other bullpups? If you want ridiculous just look at the fn-2000 or that croatian one with the adjustable stock (for god knows why because it's already excessively long).

It's average for a bullpup.
>>
>>29970922
Four screws, finger tight is all it needs.
I installed a handguard extension on mind when I got it home from the ffl. So I don't know if I had that issue, but I have heard of it happening to others.

The solution is easy least to fix though.
>>
>>29967230

>SR-25

Buyer's remorse; the rifle. At least if you buy a Colt or other standard rifle it's going to hold most of its value. With the SR-25 it's like buying a car and watching its value drop like a stone because KAC keeps bringing out another version with some letters tacked onto the end.

I have my own torque wrenches, but the dedicated 62 inch lb kit from Borka was too slick not to have in my toolbox. The only problem is that the ratchet rusts if not oiled like it was in my toolbox.

Lot of autism from SCAR haters in this thread. I have said it many times ... If I could only have one rifle for the rest of my life, it would definitely be a SCAR 17S with a high-quality variable power, illuminated scope, like the IOR 1-10x. Literally a do-everything rifle.
