Fn scar 16s
Today a friend of mine showed me his new toy, a FN SCAR 16S.
The Good: It shoulders comfortably and it handles well. The Bad: Haven't had a chance to range test it yet. The Ugly: It's finiky about what magazines you shove in the well. Several magazines that the Kel tech fits perfectly do not engage the magazine catch on the SCAR. This means that when you shove one of several types of magazines into the well( Orlite, Tapco, some sheetmetal magazines) they just drop out. This isn't good especially for a weapon that costs boocoup bucks like a SCAR. |

Sturmwerghre had a video on how you have to modify pmags for a scar since they will damage the gun in stock form, he owns 2 of them. his shooting re view showed sub moa with standard ammo.

All I can say is...that's info that I'd be really glad to have before I dropped $2K+ on a new rifle.

You're telling me. It's not my rifle but it hurts to think that a rifle that is supost to have a STANAG magazine well does not take STANAG compatable magazines. Something is really wrong with that.
The reason my friend got the SCAR is the fact that he ordered a DPMD with all the trimmings and after six months of delays got a call telling him that he had another six months of waiting comming. So he cancled the order and bought the SCAR because the local gunshop had one in and it had the features that he wanted and then some. Personally if I was him I would have sent the M1A in to the shop to get it turned into a MK14 clone. |
