Hi all been struggling trying to find a proper optic for my newly purchased scar 17.

My issue is that the acog 762 bdc and Elcan both list they are for 20” barreled applications. I don’t see the reason to spend the Elcan money if the BDC reticles aren’t accurate? And then kinda same discussion with the acog. If shooting ball m80 for those with either of these how “off” are the reticles marks?

Finally got my LPM Torch from my LGS today and mounted up. Just wanted to shout out a thanks for suppressor suggestions from a different post of mine.

Nothing too crazy here, LPM, Regosys, KFF, Lingle, KDG so far. Waiting on the Lingle lowers to come back in stock, have all the supporting mods like G$ trigger, FCD/Odin ambi controls, grip, and Lancer mags ready to rock, been on the waiting list for what seems like eternity, or closer to 8 months. Anyone know if Lingle is releasing any more lowers?

Waiting on Guntology suppressor cover.

Might eventually pivot to Aimpoint/Kastle, with IR of sorts for NV.

At least now I can check for function. 🫠

Cheers all and may your bullets always find their intended targets.

I know my next gen scar can handle either but will I see a big difference in zero between the two? I found some 308 that's $70 cheaper for a 500 round case ($430 vs $499). Should I just pony up the extra money to keep matching ammo or is the difference even noticeable with zeroed optics?

It's a lot lighter than I expected!

ETA - The SCAR 15 was actually bought on a tip from here. Thanks guys! Had to throw the Scar 20 crap on it for a moment, and it was totally worth it 😀

This is my current 15p 300BO setup. I hate it. There is no place to comfortably put your left hand with the charging handle and the front sling loop. I saw that Rego makes a system that deletes the bottom pic rail and sling loop. Does this help being able to grip the rail? Also what solutions do you have for a pressure pad for ir lam? So hard to reach it.

Finally had some time to go to the range and test out the Ventum 762. Shoots great, feels great. It is louder than my resonator R2, but way less gas to the face, so that’s a plus

Stock out of the box Gen 2 with a few additions.

HUXWRX Flow 762 Ti
Atlas BT10-NC Bipod
Burris Tac30 (thanks to Tarkov)
Edgar Sherman Design Sling

Having a ton of fun with this thing.

Howdy all,

Recently picked up a 17, and would like some more FN mags. I've searched here and elsewhere, I know they go out of stock quickly. I found some on FNForum but I'm a new member so I cant even message or reply to the seller... Anyone know who's selling some? FDE perfered but at this point I don't care.

Many thanks in advance, look forward to mixing it up with you all

Got what looks to be a totally unfired Belgian 16 with MI keymod extended handguard and a G$ trigger for $2500 all said and done. Got a deadshot 18" barrel the other day for $500 as well so Im going to turn this into an SPR

Hey guys, just wanted to ask everyone who has bought the new SCAR 17 next gen or gen 2, how was removing the factory SF Muzzle brake? Was it Rocksett? Loctite? Torch? Boiling hot water? Any tips will be highly appreciated.

Wanted to know before I do something crazy. I plan to install Huxwrx Brake for a Flow 762 Ti.

Thank you very much.

Torn between Chevron and horseshoe. I will run a piggyback red dot but I still am going back and forth. What is recommended? I have never owned an acog before. Thanks

Shot a 3" at 300 yards. 600 was a struggle for me, I'll be getting back out there

Even tho I think this “FDE Cerakote” looks green

For anyone who has done this, can you please explain how you did it and what size bits you used? Unfortunately despite buying Wiha bits, heating with both a micro torch and an industrial size soldering iron many minutes, one of the screws stripped and I might give up on the remaining one and may also drill it out.

I am also looking at gunsmith options so if you don’t have advice on how to do it myself, feel free to drop a gunsmith rec too as I might go that way (even better if they’re in Houston area).

I have a drill press and a good bits and have generally done most of my own gun work so am not a novice though recognize it is a risk.

Thank you.

I got a 15P and most of the time I shoot between 5-150 meters. sometimes dynamic sometimes static. is this trigger worth the coin for this?

Wanted to know if it was a good idea to put a 5.56 acog on my 17. Not worried about it breaking, but wondered if any of you all did it and how bad the overlap was on the BDC. Also didnt wanna be the one weird guy to have a 5.56 sight on a 7.62 lol call me insecure 😭

Looking to shorten these muskets down a bit. I will be shipping them off to u/eMGunslinger for the chops. Looking to have the suppressor mounts as flush to the rail extensions as possible. Any words of wisdom from anybody who has the same components? Ideally The 17 would be cut down to 14ish and P&W, the 16 cut down to 10” and SBR. Is it possible to send loose barrel on its own to be cut, get exact measurements for form 1, then get approved form 1 before taking possession? (Form 1 still required in my state)

17:
Midwest Industries Picatinny rail extension
Surefire 7.62 muzzle brake
Surefire 7.62 RC2 suppressor

16:
Parker Mountain Machine Picatinny rail extention
Surefire 5.56 muzzle brake
Surefire 5.56 RC2 supressor

I finally purchased a scar 17s and I am looking to run it suppressed with the HUXWRX flow can.

Never owned a suppressed gun so I’m trying to make sure I’m not missing anything in the process before I jump in.

From what I can tell online I need to buy:

-HUXWRX flow 762 TI

-HUXWRX muzzle break device for 762

-Need to bring it all to a gunsmith to have them install the muzzle break device ? (Don’t think I have the tools needed to do this on my own or the trust in myself to do it right)

Is that everything?

Thanks for any help in advance.

After testing different setups I think I’ve finally achieved my ideal setup. Initially was setup with a 1-6 VCOG, RC3, and a vert grip. Decided the gun was too heavy so ditched the RC3 for a polo K. Around the same time the vert grip drama was going on so I decided to try shooting without and it turns out I do shoot a little better without and it’s still comfortable enough so I tossed some rail covers in for heat insulation. Wanted to try out dots and magnifiers to shave more weight and I’m liking it a lot but may swap back to the VCOG. Lastly I missed the low back pressure of the RC3 but wanted something less heavy and settled on the infinity 556k.

Can anyone suggest someone who can cut a few barrels and re-thread with a quick turn around time?

Anyone out there running their SCAR 16 Suppressed by changing regulator setting or changing regulator setting and installing a different diameter gas jet?

Help me if you can
Today I shot my scar and it wouldn't cycle the rounds. My thought it wasn't enough gas pushed thru the system. " I didn't change the gas jets I did buy the moto tech scarburator.
Thoughts ?? Help is welcomed

For those that have recently bought the SCAR 15Ps (and possibly suppressed them) - how’s your bolt holding up?

I’ve put a few hundred rounds down range and was out with a buddy this past weekend and let him play with my 15P with the OCL 7.62 on it. He starting having some malfunctions (mostly failures to feed) and we tried switching the end caps in case it was a pressure issue but still have the occasional issue, using both subs and supers to test it out. He couldn’t have fired more than 20-30 rounds.

I noticed the gas setting was in the “unsuppressed” mode and a quick flip of the selector and the rifle was functioning perfectly. He was nervous he broke it, but shooting under 30 rounds, I’d be surprised if he did.

Does this bolt look normal? I never noticed it before, but think it’s just fine.

I’m trying to live the “it’s a tool, it’ll be fine” life but man, I love to baby things lol.

Edit: sorry all, this was just a quick post range trip pic before I got a chance to clean. I didn’t think to take a disassembled pic, but that mark circled is the only blemish found.
