I was told this @ SHOT when I asked their LE rep about it. I looked over on FN Forums and couldn't find anyone who had actually cut the barrel. Just a lot of talk about it. I spoke at length several times with one of the senior designers at FN and he doesn't seem nearly as concerned as long as a reputable smith like Adco does the work. If you use improper tools to do the job the results will reflect that. I sent my Form 1 off 5 days after buddyhoohaw, so I'll know soon enough either way. Stephen |

Stephen Oh, and since this is a picture thread.

Time for some "in-action" shots.
These pics were taken during a rifle class/competition I went to last weekend. At the time of the pics, I was "spotting" and "covering" for my two other teamates by hitting targets at 200 yards. Eight shots, eight hits.

It has served me well through the years. I have really found a liking to the Piston AR's especially LWRC. The guns are top notch, but my SCAR has won me over. Just as you state, I see some nice improvements over the AR platform in the SCAR. It has become my favorite in the toolbox and I cannot wait to get another one. I want to short barrel it. I look forward to more reviews from you Stephen on you SCAR. ALways good to hear your viewpoints. Joey |

Please advise your mod process for the MIAD grip install. Thanks in advance. Cheers Thanks! I installed the MIAD grip by carefully hand filing the material away until it made a good fit on the reciever. This still made for a pretty thin layer of plastic. I simply added a 316 SS flat washer ( that fit perfectly ) in between the hold down bolt and the thin plastic on the MIAD. While still not perfect the washer beefed it up a bit. If and when Magpul decides to make a tru fit grip , I will replace mine with it. |

Please advise your mod process for the MIAD grip install. Thanks in advance. Cheers I know you've mentioned it before(i forgot) but where did you pick up the flash suppressor and how much? It makes the barrel look a lot better. Excellent setup also btw, i want to set mine up that way when i get them (2) .Hopefully the first of next week.

Cheers Im right handed but was taught to shoot left handed at an early age because that was the eye that I could keep open when I was small. I guess that with the SCAR being a left handed shooter is a good thing. The charging handle being on the right side doesnt get in the way with scope mounts and such. I need to flip the selector levers. I need the longer one on the opposite side for my thumb to reach. Awesome rifle! I love the SCAR. I hope that it has a future in the US military. |

I would love to hear more about what is going on at SOCOM with the SCAR. Are they liking it or is it no better than the M4?? Is it going to be adopted or will SOCOM put more money into the 416? Im guessing that it still may be to early to tell. Anyway keep the pics coming. We should see some more black SCARS real soon! |

If so, does it "ping" on the SCAR? All AAC cans will ping if they use a blackout type flash hider. I have used the SPR/M4 on an AR and it pings as well. |

Here's a few pics of mine in its most recent configuration. Myself and Stephen_101st made a SCAR specific range trip on Monday and both blasters functioned flawlessly. The SCAR definitely has a distinctly different recoil impulse than an AR-15 which is a little difficult to get used to. It kinda reminds me of my Daewoo or even an AK74. This rig is definitely a keeper and I cant wait for the F1 to clear.

I agree that the recoil impulse is completely different than an AR. It took a little while getting use to it and the gun itself compared to my AR's. I really prefer it now. After shooting AR's with my Dad since I was a kid ( Im 35 now ) , I now have a new favorite weapon. |
