Here are some snap shots of the soon to be released ACR stock kit for the SCAR 16/17. These will come as a complete kit stock included.
We should see the black kits in 4 weeks or so and the FDE right behind them. MSRP will be $299 for the complete drop in kit. |

Quoted:
But why?... looks like it has the same functionality and size of the factory stock, other than being a money pit what problem is it designed to fix? ETA- unless it provides at least 8 oz of weight savings. ACR stock locks up smoother and tighter. I like the ACR stock better because of that and the Scar butt pad is huge and seems to grab clothing especially when you have winter dress on. Scar is a money pit??  Worth it to some and not to others..

I can understand the reasoning for a stronger hinge system, but the whole stock? The market will decide on the success of this.

.25 pounds less than the factory stock assembly Quoted:
Quoted:
anyone know the weight difference between the oem stock and the acr stock? I'm curious what the weight difference will be I imagine the hinge will be heavier as well .25 pounds less than the factory stock assembly Interesting! tha'll be damn close to a 6 pound rifle with a cqc barrel |

Quoted:
I would pay 199 That would be nice, but unfortunately it costs money to develop new products (hinge mount), prototype them, test them, revise them and bring them to market. If it were easy and cheap some one else would have done it long ago and we would be awash in folding stock options for the SCAR. |

That would be nice, but unfortunately it costs money to develop new products (hinge mount), prototype them, test them, revise them and bring them to market. $200 doesn't do all that? R&D is not a $300 piece of retractable plastic. It's called markup. Either way, sign me up for one. |

We put up a pre-order option on our website for those that absolutely must have the first ones we get. |

I agree, I'm just saying as a consumer my price point for a scar stock is below 200, no matter what it cost to produce them. Do look awesome though. |
| I really hope that people know the stock wobble has been fixed by FN on the newer SCARs manufactured after 2013. They added a metal fixing plate inside the stock that makes it lock up 100% solid. If you have an older SCAR you can order the newer version from FN for less than the cost of this adaptor. |
| I'll probably end up buying one just because I think they are cool. A $200 price point would be awesome but when the stocks cost $160 from BM that's not going to happen. I would imagine Kinetic is selling them for $250 to Modern Outfitters and they have to make some money too so $300 seems reasonable all said and done. |

Usually quanity order plays a major factor in the cost to the reseller . If the reseller pays with cash then a $50 mark up is good profit and can survive special sales ( ie 10% off or free shipping) always maintaining that 3-5% CC fee per order . If reseller uses a line of credit to purchase then interest is occurred daily until paid off . It's a slippery slop . I'm just happy their are more options for the platform . |
| Anybody know if the weapon can be fired with the stock folded and collapsed like the FN stock? All of the pictures that show the stock folded also have the stock fully extended. Looks to me as if it were collapsed even just a bit more when folded, the ejection port would be obstructed. Thanks in advance for any clarification. |

Obviously, firing collapsed and folded isn't something that happens often, if ever. However, going into this I'd like to know ahead of time if there is this minor issue. |

The hinge plate is made of aluminum not plastic so I will bet a lot of money it is way stronger than the factory plate. I have some pics posting in a few comparing the two that we took this AM of our demo models. |
| Thanks for the pics. Is it possible to show a pic of the ejection port side of the weapon with the KDG stock assembly folded AND completely (or even partially) collapsed? I'm suspecting that the ejection port will be obstructed. Conversely, the factory stock can be folded and completely collapsed without obstructing the ejection port. Everything else looks great. |

Ejection port is not covered. Rifle shoots fine with stock collapsed. Just test fired it in the range. Collapsed or extended has no bearing on it as the stock extension is angled underneath the port. |

That looks great.
I've often thought that Magpul ought to release an ACR style stock/hanguard tailored for the SCAR, since Bushmaster screwed the pooch with their handling of the ACR/Massada. It would have made a great weapons system and fixed nearly all my complaints on both sides. Sadly, Bushmaster probably owns strict usage of the designs, so all we'll ever see is aftermarket adapters. |
