[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SCAR Photo? (Page 1 of 2)

| I've been away from the board for a while. Has anyone posted a pic of the winning SCAR entry yet? If not, I'll post it later. |
No, we are eagerly awaiting posting of said picture. Please do so at your earliest convenience.
It's a limited build of weapons, SOCOM will be receiving up to 25. HFG |
 Here it is, as passed along by a reliable source who shall remain nameless. I know very little about it, just that it is multi-caliber, quick-change, and radically new. If the pic doesn't work, I'll have it on my web site shortly, and will link to it there. If anyone has been wondering, we are still recovering from the twin hurricanes of September. The mental and emotional reaction to the stress of these events has been amazing. The physical toll of the cleanup effort has forced me to keep a low profile, to keep the phone from ringing more than I can handle. We are doing a few gun shows, selling factory and custom rifles, and doing a lot of barrel threading and customizing. We are in negotiations with a major manufacturer to represent an existing line of products, but have not made a final decision as yet. The new and exclusive products I promised a while back have not happened yet. Stay tuned.

NOPE.............I can't get it on your website either........... |
| The picture in the www.sr-25.com/ link is not showing up either. |
That's what I thought at first, but the similarity is only superficial. BTW, we recently sold a pile of the Dark Parts rail panels to Swiss Arms. I don't know where the contract rifles went, but I suspect the Swiss Army. Back to work for me... I'll have the webmaster (Mrs Excalibur) straighten out the web site later, I'm having problems accessing the server at the moment. I'm told that minor mods are expected to happen. |
Looks a derivitive of the (SAW) MK 46 Mod 0 (shown below) .....kinda sorta OK, the grip does anyway Statement from FN Herstal: November 30, 2004 FN HERSTAL officially selected for the SCAR program FN HERSTAL is pleased to announce that its SCAR prototype has been officially selected from a field of competitors through a full and open competition by the US Special Operations Command (US SOCOM) and has been awarded an IDIQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contract that is funded for FY-2005. The FN SCAR is a family of weapons that FN HERSTAL designed and built from the ground up to satisfy the severe USSOCOM requirements. It consists of different variants of rifles, all available in 5.56 (SCAR-Light) and 7.62 (SCAR-Heavy) calibres as well as a Grenade Launcher Module with Fire Control System The SCAR was Operator specified, Operator tested and Operator chosen. At this stage, the project is entirely dedicated to address US SOCOM requirements. |
I detect a bit of misunderstanding. I am no longer associated in any way with KAC. I was a dealer for several years, but we have parted ways. |
Sorry, didn't know that. My bad. |

Looks to me like the Robinson Armament XCR with an XM8 stock, except that FN's version is quite, well, ugly. Now, if stylish good looks matter, below is a copy of an XCR I Photoshopped a SIG550 stock to and emailed to Alex Robinson a week ago to "help" him decide which stock to put on his XCR. On a technical level, I prefer the XCR's ambidextrous positioning of the controls, a la XM8. John ------------------------ 6.5 Grendel: AR10 Soul in an AR15 Body www.65grendel.com

One observation I noticed on the XCR, and now on the FN (first time I seen a pic) is that the line of sight above the bore is really, really high. Looks to be maybe four inches? You would have to aim over the head to make a head shot at close range, in other words they shoot real low at point blank ranges. I have personal experience with high sights, and I don't like em. Thanks for sharing the pic Bandit-ExcaliburArms. |
What vert foregrip is that? |
Falcon Industries. |
