MK16/MK17/MK20 Clone, Photo and Discussion Thread. (Page 2 of 46)
Progress on the 17. Got the UID label, Tango grip, ditched the MREX for stock rails, MITER, Atlas bipod. Still need A2 grip, stock CH, safety. Form 1 was filed 2 months ago and last but not least need the damn optic which I can't decide on an Elcan or 2.5-10x24.

| Does anyone have a picture of a SCAR 16 with a 18" barrel? Skimmed through the pics and didn't see one. I don't think I've ever seen a picture. Can't imagine it was ever produced in any large numbers because barrels over 16" fell out of favor by the time the SCAR entered production, but it would be interesting to see one anyways. |

| Anyone got clone optics suggestions? Literally the last thing I need for this build minus a PEQ15. I absolutely love my 3.5-15 F1 on my MK12 but I think it look's goofy as hell on the MK17. I have never tried an Elcan nor do I know someone who owns one and I've used the 2.5-10x24 and own one for my RECCE build but the chances of me scoring a Wilcox mount are second to none so I'm not really considering it unless I can get one. All 3 setups are pretty much priced closed together. Thoughts? |

Pretty much what I'm looking to do, but substitute the AAC shenanigans for Surefire. I can only assume that's an older FA762SS (ETA: it’s the FA762SV) suppressor/mount pulled from a Mk20 SSR.

Originally Posted By Kalmar: The FH762SSAL/RE mount for the SS suppressor requires some additional work to index properly on the Mk17 barrel. Which leads me to believe that's a FA762SV suppressor and FH762SV-SCAR muzzle brake, as you suggested, most likely pulled from a Mk20. I've got one and contemplated using it on this build, but I'm still holding out hope that FN will release the SSR eventually. |

The MB762SS muzzle brake requires work to fit to the scar barrel. I've done it, but I had trouble keeping it tight enough and changed to the FA762SV flashider mount for better security. |

I knew this solution was probably not stable enough for the suppressor so when the FH762SV-SCAR adapter that indexes off the muzzle was available I switched them out. These days my SCAR-H has a SOCOM300 SPS with the SFMB-762-5/8-24 on it. Stephen I index for repeatable zero by making sure the can markings face up. |
