The civilian Scars are imported from Belgium. I've seen this cycle several times with the Five Seven and the Scar. Just wait for another big shipment and they will be out there
That and it being election year they have dried up |

Me and a buddy just bought FDE ones last week in Sacramento for under $2400 before tax and fees. That dealer got 3.

That's nearly what a 17s was going for just 6 months ago Just about 5-6 months ago Scar 17s were $2500 (I had seen several go for near $2400 on GB). The 16s was selling for $2100 and several GB listings were ending around the 2k mark |

Yeah I guess when they are in abundance everywhere you can shop around. But when you haven't seen them on the shelves for several months, as evidenced by threads like these all over the internet you can either keep looking and waiting or just buy it when you see it if you feel the price is fair.
I've already spent another 2K for optics, so paying $250 more for the rifle than I could have 6 months ago isn't a big deal to me. |

Does anyone know what their "typical cycle" to release is?
(e.g.) Say things dried up in Jan but come March fresh supply has hit distributors and then on to FFLs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:Do not forget the new trigger.
The rifle I bought already had the Super Scar in it, but I paid $280 more than my buddy. I also have a the KDG ACR stock and 6.5" rail and a WarComp waiting. The SCAR was a actually an impulse buy. My friend had been looking for months and when he told me he found one I called the shop to see if they had another one, and the rest is history. Unfortunately, they are pushing for another "bullet-button" ban here and with an election year coming... there is little reason to wait. |

I need to find a $2k 16 and $2300 17....day late and dollar short.
With LE discount I can get about $2200 for a 16 and 2500 for a 17. As much as I want a 17...I have no desire to get back into .308. |

I contacted a couple different online stores and the answer I got was that they're guessing spring ETA. This is not official.

You scared me.
Mine's OK. It says nothing happened to it, but thanked me politely for looking in. |

I just purchased a 16s in black today. Only one that LGS had but two others in my area had multiples in black and FDE. SCAR 17s however no one has.

From what I've seen rumored, they are in top five with HK with the 416, Beretta with the ARX, Sig with the MCX, and HD Produkt from Croatia with the VHS-2 bullpup. Been curious to see the results of it as it'll be the first major western nation to re-arm with something modern. |

I thought the French ordered 90,000 416's from HK earlier this year or late last year?
