If you use improper tools to do the job the results will reflect that. I sent my Form 1 off 5 days after buddyhoohaw, so I'll know soon enough either way. Stephen

These pics were taken during a rifle class/competition I went to last weekend. At the time of the pics, I was "spotting" and "covering" for my two other teamates by hitting targets at 200 yards. Eight shots, eight hits.

It's got several features that I find to be genuine improvements over the M16FOW. Stephen I have been an AR fan since I was a kid. It has served me well through the years. I have really found a liking to the Piston AR's especially LWRC. The guns are top notch, but my SCAR has won me over. Just as you state, I see some nice improvements over the AR platform in the SCAR. It has become my favorite in the toolbox and I cannot wait to get another one. I want to short barrel it. I look forward to more reviews from you Stephen on you SCAR. ALways good to hear your viewpoints. Joey

Please advise your mod process for the MIAD grip install. Thanks in advance. Cheers Thanks! I installed the MIAD grip by carefully hand filing the material away until it made a good fit on the reciever. This still made for a pretty thin layer of plastic. I simply added a 316 SS flat washer ( that fit perfectly ) in between the hold down bolt and the thin plastic on the MIAD. While still not perfect the washer beefed it up a bit. If and when Magpul decides to make a tru fit grip , I will replace mine with it.

I took them outside with available light. The gun's colors look much different inside using a flash as does a lot of pics of the SCAR on the internet.

It makes the barrel look a lot better. Excellent setup also btw, i want to set mine up that way when i get them (2) .Hopefully the first of next week.

Cheers Im right handed but was taught to shoot left handed at an early age because that was the eye that I could keep open when I was small. I guess that with the SCAR being a left handed shooter is a good thing. The charging handle being on the right side doesnt get in the way with scope mounts and such. I need to flip the selector levers. I need the longer one on the opposite side for my thumb to reach. Awesome rifle! I love the SCAR. I hope that it has a future in the US military.

I would love to hear more about what is going on at SOCOM with the SCAR. Are they liking it or is it no better than the M4?? Is it going to be adopted or will SOCOM put more money into the 416? Im guessing that it still may be to early to tell. Anyway keep the pics coming. We should see some more black SCARS real soon!
