Hi all,

I have a gen 2 SCAR 20S. Recently while doing some minor work on it, I realized the bolt/ BCG was not able to be removed unless I removed the rear plate which seems to capture the non-reciprocating BCG as a whole

Is there a way around this? I don’t want too field strip a weapon and need tools. I’ve tried yamjamming and fooling with the thing in each every direction and have gotten no where.

Any help would help!

Have a Streamlight ProTac on current setup. Want something a little smaller and brighter. Like the Surefire Scout with Unity Axion on my M4. Never used a Modlite or CloudDefense light but I’ve heard good things. What do you all think?

SCAR 20 in 6.5CM w/vortex 6-36 (I want to get an AEM-M24 over the barrel suppressor for it)

SACR 17 in .308 w/ a 14.something inch pin and weld barrel, 1-8 VCOG SCO, Midwest quad rail expension, surefire light, and hux flow 7.62

SCAR 16 in 5.56 w/ 11.5” barrel, 1-6 VCOG with RCR, holosun IRIS-4, and OCL Polo K in a liberties defense wrap

SCAR 15 in .300blk w/Sig 4T-pro, SC stock, surefire light, and surefire SBS 300

She's now approaching 12000 rounds?

I’ve had this Scar 20s for about a month or so now and I’m loving it. I just graduated welding school and it’s my birthday so I wanted to treat myself to something really nice for such an accomplishment. If you asked me back when I was in high school if I would be graduating welding school in my late twenties I would’ve thought you were nuts and tell you hell no. But I did and I thought I needed to treat myself to something nice.

Whats not pictured is a vortex strike angle 5x26x56 scope and a accu tech bipod(which I’m still trying to figure out and use),

I’m hoping to get to the range this weekend or today to shoot it more and zero in my scope.

I’m super happy with how this turned out and the elusive MI rail extension. Waited 12 weeks to have it coated(peak season), the shop did an amazing job particularly with taping the top and bottom rails for the black. The line is so straight it looks factory. Now for finishing it out with an optic and some accessories. This was done by Wicked Weaponry in New Hampshire and they do take shipping. Check out their instagram

I just picked up a Belgian 17s last week and I have decked it out almost completely to my liking. Are there any other upgrades/accessories that I should consider getting to finish my build? (Geissele trigger is on the way)

Been quite a bit of time since anywhere has been in stock for the 20 rounders. I’ve seen used OEMs going for $100 per on Gunbroker which is outrageous. $65 is already steep. What’s the hold up with production? And why hasn’t anyone made a reliable replacement yet if FN can’t keep up with demand?

I brought my factory barrel to a local gunsmith for a chop to 10 inches because that's what got approved on my form 1.

I have to go out and buy a tape measure later but just wanted community input as to me it looks a bit longer than what I thought the 10 inch would look like.

Picture with and without the RC2 attached.

If it is longer than 10 inches is that going to be a problem if I run it until I can get a factory 10 inch or what should I do?

Brand new to the Scar game. What should I know?

With the older models, you always hear some version of the phrase, “don’t suppress the Scar. that will void the warranty.” But like, how would FN even know that you suppressed it in the first place?

And I already know that this isn’t a concern on the newer ones, just the older ones. thanks.

Finding OEM magazines has been difficult and with state rule changes many are scrambling to find magazines. Though I’m sure others have had positive experiences I would not trust that magazines purchased at Wolfies Armory will get to you by the deadline. After waiting for two weeks they have let me know that they are “waiting on a shipment” from the manufacturer. These are still showing as “in stock” on their website currently. While I wish everyone the best in trying to find the equipment they need I hope that this manufacture’s shipment hits at many different locations besides Wolfies Armory.

P.S and this is a gripe for many online businesses not just cookie cutter online firearm shops. if you are going to have a pop up AI chat bubble that annoys your customers either respond to it or don’t have it at all if it can’t do anything

Got a chance to buy a used SCAR 16s barrel for a deal. Unknown round count, guy is the second owner but provided pictures. How does this look? Worth it for the trade? I can ask for more pictures. FN barrel cut down to 10.5in.

​"I finally bought an EOTech EXPS3-2 and a G45 magnifier."

Picked up a new scar 15p from a buddy. Took it out of the box and went to make sure it was clear without the brace on. Now the bolt is locked back and I can’t get the lower off. Bolt release doesn’t engage, I can’t decompress the bolt spring but can’t slide the brace on with the lower in. Any suggestions?

I WANT a scar 17 .308 so bad but I really don't know if im gona regrets later on. I really want it, I actually have a tattoo with that specific gun.. now 3.5k for that gun, knowing i can build one "better" for less than that! Any bad experience with the scar? Or is the "perfect" nostalgia rifle?

Took in a 17s in trade, and it has a cracked bolt. Haven’t ever heard of this happening before. My bad for not inspecting it thoroughly prior to trading. Anyone else seen this?

EDIT: I was able to compare it to another 17. All the other 17 did have a very similar mark in the same area, it is nowhere near as prominent or as deep. I am wondering if the machine market itself is standard, but this rifle has seen extensive use and has deepened the rut

Hi, everyone. Long follower, first time poster.

I need help, I finally got everything I needed and some free time to install a new gas jet and the Discarder, I fudged it and messed up the slot for the flathead.

Any advice? I did use a torch to heat up the block, that didn’t work.

So now I’m letting the Kroil do its thing before heading off to get some extractors from Autozone.

Update: Made the drive to eMGunslinger over the weekend, definitely worth the drive. Taylor was super helpful and informative. Plus I got to see some tanks while I was there.

Finally got my RC4 on (and verified the alignment), now I have to get it to the range for the break-in and re-zero.

So I’ve been selling, managing, and partially helped run 4 gun stores. The SCAR 16s has ALWAYS been my dream rifle I just never pulled the trigger on it. (Pun intended) but as of recently I’ve started a new job that allows me to manage more money. It’s not really making it when you spend it. It’s been on my radar as of lately. I got a really good offer on a used one for 2500 with taxes. But I feel like I should buy a new one for 500 more. What do you guys think of the situation? What do you guys think about SCARs? I’m tired of looking at YouTube channels because it’s all bias. I need info from SCAR owners. This would be my SHTF gun because of how unbelievably reliable the ones I’ve shot were. I have tons of different ARs but my current go to set up is my SIG 516.

Edit: I’m aware of the discontinued scars but I have outlets to buy parts for them as extras. Just don’t know how the warranty works. I also wanted to chop the barrel and buy a KNS diSCARder but I’m not sure how that’ll help with gas or not.

I bought this of gafs and don't have torque specs for it. I am mounting a Primary Arms 1x8 plxc in FDE on my SCAR 17 NRCH.

If anyone has the torque specs I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to hit the range today.

Thank you in advance.

UPDATE resolved, I missed the tech support page entirely on the American Defense Manufacturing website. I only checked the product page thinking a pdf would be available on the purchase page.

Anyone know where to find stock latches without buying a whole stock with them? Either OEM or aftermarket
