Quoted:
I am taking the SBR plunge with my Scar 16. I sent the Form 1 off to the ATF on 7/13. If all goes well, fingers crossed, I will have my stamp by Halloween. Then, I'll send my barrel to Marvin for the chop. I will send periodic updates on my progress. What are you chopping it to? Are you ordering a new gas control screw, or reaming out the one you have? |

I am chopping it to 10". Marvin said I can just remove the gas control screw and I would be fine. Or, he can ream it to factory specs for a 10" barrel.
What is everyone else doing? |

If you just remove the gas screw, the gun will be WAY overgassed (though it'll probably work). I bought a set of gas control screws from FNH USA/Browning and tuned the gas port myself to get operating at a similar cyclic rate to the unaltered rifle. |

Strongbow,
How much did the gas control screws cost you? |

Strongbow, How much did the gas control screws cost you? They cost $5 each, plus shipping. For an investment of $25 or so, you can get a good selection for your barrel length and tune it exactly like you want it. |

Cheers You did NOT just say that, didya? I know. My wife tells me that I should take it on the road; although, she probably just means for me to leave.

My last SBR journey took 120 days back in 2010. I am hoping for the same timeframe. Fingers crossed!

What length?
If ya need or want help tuning it when you get it back, chime in. I had mine cut to 10.5" and used gas control screws from FNH/Browning to tune it perfectly. I'm very pleased with my SCAR SBR. |

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile See the link below. You want to use the BRNG No. when ordering (that's the Browning number... you actually get the parts from Browning). The numbers I gave are the last 3 digits of that number. They cost $5 each plus shipping. http://www.fnforum.net/fn-scar-16s-exploded-diagram-parts-list-price-list-t21344.html I herped, I derped. Sorry guys. |

Update: Form 1 has been with the ATF for 70 days.
Gas screws from FN have arrived. I am going to send the receiver to Ident for engraving on the first of the month. My last Form 1 took 100 days. The wait is killing me. |

Double damn! |
