Weight's not an issue - 2.5lbs LESS than my former-duty (now a safe queen) AR. I went with Travis Haley's old setup he had on one of his ARs; two lights (200Lm & 600Lm), a LASER, Aimpoint H1. Works damn well on mids; the lights are the shizzle for felony car stops.  I'm in FL too and wouldn't mind mounting my scar in a rack like thst in my car. Who makes that model? |

Santa Cruz Gunlocks - trust them implicitly as I and my department have for over seven years.

There currently are no extended rails made for SCARs… So I made one.
Cut aluminum rod stock, hand cut PWS rail (used, fresh from eBay), JB Weld. The rod pieces were shaped to take out some of the roundness; they were swaged/driven into a bed of JB Weld bed slathered into the interior lateral rail hollows. I never used the long one (for the top rail): 
Detail of the interior seams; the pieces had already been roughened with a file, washed, and degreased with alcohol: 
Masked, clamped & ready: 
After assembly, the rail sat out in the direct July Florida sun for four hours to hasten curing. The result: 
While I had the whole thing apart, I replaced the stock rails – they'll keep me from burning my hands as often. SF switch for main light, the newly-acquired green LASER/Universal Translator: 
Damage Industries rail section under Magpul MBUS (JB’ed & bolted in place): 
I have no qualms about the sight melting – a mate of mine’s run one atop an Adams Arms piston for years; if he can’t get the frakking thing to Chernobyl after running ~250 rounds in less than ten minutes, I doubt I’ll be able to. Top view: 
Right side. More sweet LaRue goodness holding the SF main, and EagleTac secondary. 
R&A BAD. It replaces the stock bolt catch. I ditched the Magpul one I’d modded after I “ADed” during a session of (thankfully) dry-fire practice: 
Latest version of an attempt to make a silent rear sling mount; welded steel ring & Spectra cord. I've run it for just over a month – so far, no fraying/wear on the cord (as yet): 
My homages to all KIA cops… And the guys from whom I’ve shamelessly stolen much of my Departmental training material from:  |

Compared to my old duty rifle with a 15" MI rail:
I'd call the modded PWS rail about 14.5" long:

Think some day you will drop the CQC part and just let it be a SCAR and play with all the other rifles? |

Okay, I finally got mine set up how I want.
EOTech XPS2 (biohazard reticle - don't laugh, it's all Cabela's had in stock and I didn't feel like waiting on an Internet order). Surefire G2 LED at 9 o'clock. Beamshot GB2000 5mW green laser at 6 o'clock, with pressure switch on VFG with electrical tape. (This is a change from the laser sight in my first post above, which was a handgun laser. The GB2000 is a proper rifle laser). Might be hard to see the Beamshot at this angle - but it is sticking out slightly in front of the Surefire. Bipod VFG (another change from the "stubby" Magpul VFG in my first post above. I decided I wanted my bipod VFG on my SCAR, so the stubby went back on my M-4). The SCAR sure is a sweet assed gun!  |

Barrel cut down to 14.25", permanently attached AAC blackout FH (OAL barrel length of 16.125), trijicon acog ta31 on gg&g qd mount, modded the grip area so it accepts ar15 grips, added the magpul miad grip. Thats about it for now. Scars really dont need much... Rifle looks 100% better with the shorter barrel IMO. The only thing left on my wish list is a geiselle trigger.
