Looking for a touch of guidance here.
So nobody else has even close to providing this type of explanation for the particulars of this system. I was also looking to provide info on Suppressors and then Optics issues. I think now that SOCOM is divesting from the system there wouldn't be any harm in divulging the theory and data behind what was being done by Handl Defense to enhance the system.
We met the designer of the gun at SOFIC a few years back. I said what this blog post says (and a bit more). Holding one of our modified SCARs he turns to the FN-USA staff and says "if I was building this gun today I'd do it just like they are". I feel the SCAR community that isn't in the loop might want to know the why behind that.
I know why the optics for the Mk.17 had to be CAR-H hardened. I know why FN will void your warranty for putting a suppressor on this gun. I do not understand how a post that discusses megapascals, tensile strength, elastic collisions, young modulus, and destructive interference is not technical.
Is there an example of posting guidelines? I am not trying to be confrontational. I am trying to understand how to communicate in a way that fits the nuances here.

Thanks for the link, I found that to be good information.
The only thing that has stopped me form buying that lower was the price.
Since the factory mags have come down so much in price and have been readily available, I ended up going that route.
So I'm pretty stocked up on factory 17 mags at this point.
Looking at your site, what is the difference in material for your spring kits vs the stock scar springs that keeps them from rusting?
Are they stainless steel springs?
