I just got my black SCAR 17s, I haven't shot it yet.

On the factory 20 Rd. mags, will the SCAR 17's run with 20 in the mag it? Or do you download it to 18 like the AR-15's?

TIA

Never had an issue running them at full capacity or leaving them loaded constantly and shooting them 6 months later.

They are essentially FAL mags, so I download to 18. Although I have never had a problem when loading them to 20 rds even when storing them for a long period of time.

SCARs will run anything, so you are good to go at the max. You will love the rifle...if it's not your favorite... just wait

Many people, including myself, have been taught with aluminum GI mags in the AR's to load 18 in the 20's and 28 in the 30's because the mag seats easier on a closed bolt
