You could try, but I would imagine you'd be beating your head into a wall before you got done and you'd likely be spending more than the cost of a new one.

Why would you even want to? Just buy one.

Thanks. My budget is not that great. I had a lot of fun piecing the AR together and was just curious. I'll need to start saving my pennies.

The big difference is that for the most part all AR manufacturer parts are interchangeable. A lower parts kit from Daniel Defense will work in a Noveske lower the same as any other number of lower parts kits. The majority of SCAR parts are proprietary and while certain items may be available from aftermarket manufacturers, the majority must be sourced from FN. |

Noob question. I've been drooling on a 17s but I'd like to build it one piece at a time. Is this possible or are people buying the rifle and swapping out parts? Thanks for the help! you can buy pretty much all the parts from vendors except the reciever. there is no source for scar17 recievers. buying parts you will have spent almost 2 times as much as saving for one my suggestion is open a savings account that you cant access except by going to the bank. once a week go to the bank and deposit all the money you would have spent on beer, alcohol, cigerrettes, vape, cokes, fast food, bars or whatever your vice of choice happens to be. in a couple months you will have enough to buy a 17s |

The main component, the upper receiver, has never been sold by FNH separately so unless someone has stripped down a complete rifle and is selling it as parts you won't have good luck building one from scratch.

Thanks for the replies! The SCAR is on my list but it looks I'll need to save.

I just sold my 16" barrel assembly to a forum member that is building a 17S. He already has the upper and lower receivers.

Even using used parts you'll likely spend more than you would for a new one. Unfortunately they're nowhere near as mainstream as AR's.

Works for AR's because of the huge aftermarket and the fact the design is in public domain.
You would have to source most of your parts from FN and pay through the Ass |
