So based on my research in this thread, the PWS SRX rail extension was most commonly fielded out of all Mk17 rail extensions. I'm no means a cloner, just curious - but what else was in use?

I don't know that I'd really gain anything by getting a 20S, other than the collectible part. But a 17 with a Geissele trigger and a magnified optic like that Mk6 is pretty slick in the DMR department. |

Because anodizing doesn't match outside of black...is really hard...even then you see variations... Can confirm the various shades of black. Better than the tactical peanut butter in my opinion. But krylon fixes things. The receiver has a slightly different surface texture than the stock as well.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thehun06: Because anodizing doesn't match outside of black...is really hard...even then you see variations... Nobody is talking about "matching" anodizing. It doesn't matter if the US plant ever "matches" the anodizing of the Belgian guns. Even the Belgian ones are all over the place. The point is for them to get something that even resembles "FDE" or "brown" and would pass for a useable color the mil would buy and makes sense. Aint nobody walking around Afghanistan with a golden gun lol. They might as well have gone for 3-gun red anodizing, it achieves the same goal. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: He's coming from more of a cloning perspective (cause you know this is a clone thread) in that he would like for the anodizing to match the mil versions as they appear to be completely different. More then simple variation in anodizing. I get it...but I think there are certain reasons why that isn't done for civis...while sucks...it is what it is... |

If anyone is looking there's a Surefire FH762SV-Scar muzzle brake and a AAC Scar-H-SD adapters list on gunbroker right now.
I don't think the AAC adapter is the correct tooth though? |
