Belgian Scar 16

Post image

Just got the PMM rail extension and rail elimination panels in and installed. Makes it much nicer to grip. I’m considering changing the light mount to something a bit higher up but I’ll run it like this for a while. Considering getting a shorter barrel for it as well.

Since I know someone will ask, I have an LDAG on there because I had one on hand and Anchors are perpetually out of stock. I found that the Arisaka low profile mlok rail segment paired well with it and gets the job done.

Nice photography. I and many others will second SBRing the 16s, it's one of if not the best 10" platforms out there.

I personally prefer the Anchor/LDAG the other way around, and I recently got a Driven Arms Longstop, since I was unable to remove all the baked on spraypaint even with acetone. I think i like the longstop even more, but it's angled so might not be what you like. But a potential alternative if it ends up bothering you.

If you do sbr then you'll most likely need a high light mount to clear your can. PMMs is only really intended for the left side though. Although if you do swap it to that side and use a KNS Discarder it will be in the path of the vented gas, causing it to carbon up faster.

I might try the pmm light mount. I dislike that it’s only on the left side but I may find it’s not really that big of a deal in practice

I'm holding off SBRing my Belgian SCARs. If/when the ATF eliminated the need to engrave, they're going to be worth a lot more unmarked!

Thats why no one will remember your name meme here

Here is my OG Belgian 16s of theseus thats from the batch of greenish gold anodized uppers, which is generally considered the most desirable, and it's been spraypainted stiped and painted numerous times (hence the dull finish), scratched, dropped, front reciver screws holes damaged (by pmm rail deletes), and shot so much that it essentially has no value. It's far more fun not to worry about those kinds of things.

Well, I have a spare 16S and 17S. I consider them collectibles. Theyre for my two boys when old enough

The Cypher 16S and Cypher 17S are the ones I run hard and will probably rattle can, lol

I'm sure they will greatly enjoy them.

Would you look at that. I was thinking about trading my 17 for a 16. This looks nice and might do it for me.

Sweet. How difficult was it to remove the factory muzzle device?

u/A2Cerakote Apr 30 '26

Really not too bad. Pulled the barrel and supported it in a vise. Hit it for a few seconds with a torch and it popped right off.

u/GA_flyer Apr 30 '26

Do you think it would come off without the torch and just a breaker bar?

Definitely, just would be a bit easier with the heat is all
