I saw this picture.
Amazing how a few little changes make such a huge difference. So... what is that a rounded replacement part on the underside of the handguard in lieu of the pic rail? Is it this? I don't know about anyone else, but with M-Lok, I'm so over rails all over the place now.

The spikes on the flash hider are an interesting touch.

That's a sweet looking SCAR 16!
From your link, I think you'd nailed it as PMM rail elimination panel. My biggest pet peeve with the SCAR is that bottom rail, maybe it is time for me to pull mine out of the back of the safe. |

That the PMM SCAR elimination panels and the underside is the PMM M-Lok rail. Really does clean up the gun ALOT. Have those on both my SCAR's.

I don't care for the flash hider but otherwise that is a good looking rifle, I agree

You don't buy a SCAR for the looks, you buy it for the capabilities. Personally I think the 17s has it's own beauty, but frankly it beats out all the competition for .308 semi-autos.

I'm only even considering the 17 because of how it shoots... but when I weigh need vs want, I'm totally guilty of including looks as a deciding factor. There are functional things I'm not crazy about with it... and some of those "functional" things also make it look ugly (to me). I'm still amazed that the SCAR (16) weighs less than an ACR. I know it's apples and oranges but any idea how much more the 17 weighs compared to an ACR? This HK 433 actually looks a lot like the SCAR in the picture above. |

I don't think they're on the flash hider.... Looks like something behind it. That would be weird if they were. I didn't really look at it that way. I could take it or leave it. I've seen worse. Not sure how it works. I'm only just recently learning the value of the blast cans. You are correct... I don't buy a SCAR for the looks. Or the price.

Naw, give me a dirty "50 shades of FDE" SCAR with a lead-brick Elcan and plain Ugg boot stock any day. The SCAR is iconic as a "form follows function" military design like the Humvee, B-29 Superfortress or M1 Garand and needs nothing else to be pure bad-ass.

Looking at the SCAR, I always assumed it would be a heavy beast what with the caliber and beefy looks. When I shot it and it was so light yet very manageable...I became a believer. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The fact that it is an 8lb semi-auto .308 is what's attractive. Put an ACOG on it and you have all the rifle you'd need out to 600 yards. SR-25s are stupid heavy and more a DMR gun anyway. To me the SCAR 17 is the closest you can get to a "perfect" rifle. The new NX8 may be the final piece to really make it shine.

My SR25 ACC is 8lbs. And is more pleasant to shoot than the 17. I still have my 16 but I sold the 17 when I got some time behind my SR25. That being said, the 17 is a GREAT platform. I just wanted to say that my SR25 weight was equal to my scar when I had both. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I agree the M-Lok replacing the pic rails really cleans up the rifle. I did away with the pic rails on mine and put a longer rail.

Yea, but that's the 5.56 version and it weighs as much as the 7.62 SCAR. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I don't recall how much lighter. I've only held the Busmaster semi-auto ACR and it struck me as way too heavy. More than a modern 5.56 carbine should weigh. I like the HK G36 because it's a lightweight piston rifle. The SCAR 16 is very nice also. (And mucho mag dumps won't warp the receiver).
