I don't get all the hate for the 16. Is it due to the price tag? Sure a $800 colt can do the same thing but sometimes life wants more than an AR

I think that has a lot to do with it. People see the price and the fact that SOCOM did not adapt it so they assume it's worthless or at least not worth the cost of ownership. I myself think they are a fantastic platform that offers a lot of advantages.

I agree. Lots of this and that from the SOCOM trials, operators not wanting this, not wanting that, etc. I wanted a 10.4 inch MR556 for the longest time because the cool kids use it but fell into a trade on a SCAR-16 that I couldn't pass up. Was kind of cold on it until I shot it suppressed in the 10 inch SBR config that it sits in now. Softest shooting SBR I own, I don't think I have ever cleaned it and honestly haven't lubed it in forever. Never a malfunction. Not one. My ARs dont really malfunction either but the SCAR gets run hard in the rain and snow and muck and such... Its a fantastic rifle in my opinion that doesn't get the credit that its due having not been adopted like the HK416 family of guns has.

I have 1000 dollar M4 builds as well, and those shoot great, but the panache of the SCAR is hard to beat I think.

Is that just a tan sprayed over the black? I've found that's my favorite. No matter how "cool" some paint jobs look they nearly always look like crap after a just a little use. I think this style works and looks the best.

Wow, it looks blackish on my phone.

Don't get me wrong. I love wear as well on basic paint jobs. My budy uses, grass, netting, rope, etc. Takes a him a day. Ill spray a rifle in 5 minutes. A little black showing through, etc.

@Finslayer83

what is the option for swapping out the lower rail?

Also, I see you replaced the front sight with a bit of rail - any reason why you decided against mounting the front flip sight on there?

It's a quick two T25 screw change to go between the two. I snagged the front sight rail as damage industries had em on sale for like $15 and I like the look better. No functional reason to be honest. It's a quick 2 min swap with a T25 bit.

Ah... I just went back and saw some of your previous iterations and saw the slick rail. Nice.

And I was actually asking why you mounted the front flip sight behind the rail instead of on it. Was it just to keep the front sight on the receiver itself? I was considering getting the gas block rail and mounting a flip sight on that, so I was curious to know if there was some reason that wouldn't work very well.

Thanks!

Functionally it's not a problem but I don't know where I put my front sight tool - so the receiver had the post spot on for cowitness. When I find my tool I'll move it forward

I completely forgot about it - I'll need to get that back on, I took it off when messing with the lower rails.
