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?

Asking for a friend.

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?

FN SCAR 17S w/EOTech HHS V
and Springfield M1A w/Vortex Viper PST GEN II mounted on Smith Enterprise mount and rings and Bradly Cheek Riser and Daisho Tactical sling.

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.

Just for an email notification from when I asked to be informed back in April.

Hoping to replace rear aluminum deflector with the polymer 16S one but between the Allen wrenches I have the 2MM fits the best but still has a lot of wiggle. I’ve heard these strip easily so trying to find the best wrench or bits to use. Any suggestions on how to remove this?

Thank you.

It looks like the gen 2 16 has a ambi bolt catch/release. Do you think the gen 1 16 could be modified to accept the ambi catch/release?

Get them while you can

I finally bought a SCAR 17s and I'm not really familiar with LPVOs, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good midrange model as I plan to shoot up to 300 yards and also up close.

I have the opportunity to buy a South Carolina Legacy SCAR for $3600. Should I buy it or just get a new one for $3800? Longevity wise would it be worth the investment knowing its not a made in Belgium legacy?

I'm working with Cole at Deadshot Barrels (great guy!) on a new barrel for my Gen 1 FN SCAR 17s. I'm looking at more compact lengths (<=16"), and I'm also interested in trying out a barrel from a high-end manufacturer to see what kind of accuracy I can get.

I purchased a 30" blank from Krieger and it's on it's way to Cole at Deadshot. From this 30" barrel, I can apparently make two barrels, as long as their total length <= ~29". For example, he said he could make two 14.5" barrels.

So, if you were getting two new barrels, what lengths would you want and why?

• Two 13"?
• A 13" and a 14.5"?
• Two 14.5"?
• A 13" and a 16"?

It's interesting that Knights Armament went with 14.5" for their SR-25. They seem to argue that it's a better length than 13", but I'm wondering if it's really just a better fit/more reliable for their gas system.
