 I’m considering my mk20 project done now. I assume I won’t be able to get ahold of an SV can, so the SS will have to do. Started off as a Columbia, SC SCAR 20s with the non-profiled 1:10 twist barrel. Dave Wilson did fantastic work on the barrel to fit the MB762SSAL muzzle device. Happy to have the tighter twist for launching 175s down range. Also going to roll the dice with a FP PEQ15 as opposed to springing for an LA5. I’ve shot about 100rds through it, PEQ is still alive  Also rolling the dice shooting with a PVS-30. About 60rds into that with no issues. I’ll report back if anything ever happens, for those that are interested in whether the SCAR 20s eat accessories like the 17s. |

The 17 is what does most of the killing. |

My 1:12 barrel does 175s just fine...mine measured 1:11.25 but who is counting ;) Nice build! |

Still hoping Surefire will build some more SVs for the civilian market...
We need our dealer friends to bug them about it. Otherwise it'll never happen. |

My mk20 gets 1moa or better with mk20 can and 175gr SMK.. reloads and factory ammo. I would like a 1:10 barrel to see how it would do with 175’s. Everyone’s is different. I will say it shoots way better with a can and I struggled to get MOA without it.

Been on the hunt for a Scar 20 that doesn't have that ugly ass pale piss color on the upper.
They ALL have it. I guess I'll have to wait and see what their next batch of anodizing looks like. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By wayfaerer320: Never even thought about looking into that - is that an option? Yes I don't see why not. The thing about re-anodizing is it will be much harder to keep a consistent color variation, metal dimensions will slightly change etc. With a scar receiver other than maybe the top rail, I can't see dimensional changes causing much of a problem anyways. It's not like you have pin holes to have to worry about. Doing it once may not even bring it out of spec, it just depends on what range of the spectrum for spec it was in before you had it redone. If we can find someone who can do the anodizing and color variances we are looking for I would be in. The only other thing you would lose would be the top rail surface labeled numbering. Not a huge issue, you can always have that redone. |

I don't know what's worse, the fact that Surefire won't make more 762SVs or Nightforce not selling us the FDE .mil ATACRs.
First world problems, right? |

Yeah - it's definitely one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" sort of things. When I spoke to Nightforce, they said no. EuroOptic also told me numerous times even they had inquired about it with Nightforce (knowing full well they'd sell well), and Nigtforce told them no as well. We shall see though - maybe things will indeed change. |

Multiple calls over the last year or more checking for ATACR 1-8x FDE news. In addition to the "We are well aware of the demand" and "Not even in the pipeline right now" that others got I also got the comment that "Basically it's going to be like the old 2.5-10x24 mil-spec unicorn search all over again. Maybe even more difficult. Wish I had better news." And one guy even discussed how they'd released a limited batch of the 2.5-10x24 because they thought there was demand from cloners a few years back, but they basically flopped because they were the commercial versions and not the mil-spec versions. Nonetheless still hopeful. Perhaps the guy from LSUJon's post talked to someone better connected with production planning. That would be cool.

That's my prediction - that this will play out like the 2.5-10x24s.
Meaning we'll see them like 5 years from now in limited batches. By the time we all get one, SOCOM will have moved on to a new optic. That's usually how it works, isn't it? |
