Some foreign militaries uses the one like you pictured also. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tengo1: Weird. All the ones I’ve ever seen look like this: https://i.imgur.com/XlNgXr5.jpg Like others have said, the lower in your OP is legitimate. It’s the MK17 lower. The one you’re used to seeing is the SCAR-H & 17 lower. People like to use SCAR-H/MK17/17 interchangeably, but they’re all actually slightly different guns (different in configuration). SCAR-H = FN Herstal Original Product MK17 = Custom SCAR-H for US MIL SCAR 17 = SCAR-H Export/LEO Version 0-45-90 (Select-Fire) Lower is used and mostly seen on the SCAR-H and 17. 0-90-180 (Select-Fire) Lower is used and mostly seen on the MK17 and Select-Fire SCAR-H PR/TPR. The MK20 SSR is the Semi-Auto only, US MIL version of the PR/TPR (i.e. TPRS). They’re all interchangeable obviously. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LsuJon: Do you guys think the mk13-sd isn't meant for the scar cause it's Ti?

Just need the Mk6, whatever rail extension and stock that is, Coyote plate carrier, and cool aviator shades. First time out with the Mk13, long story short, this thing fucks. I’m using the stock 1.4mm gas jet but have smaller ones in order. I pulled the barrel, changed the muzzle brake, and got to work. The gun was pretty dirty with about 600rds on it; today I shot mostly M118lr and a few of my clone loads at the end. Quickly got it re-zeroed without the suppressor, shot a 3rd group then put the Mk13 on for another 3rds, it was .4mil low. Took it off and went to a fresh target, after the first round it failed to feed, whoops it was still on the suppressor setting, flipped it back to 12’o clock and fired 2 more. Suppressor back on and I got a one hole 3 shot group .4mil low again. I took the suppressor off and shot it again on the suppressed setting and it failed to feed, back to 12 o’clock and it ran great. I took it on and off but mostly shot with the can on the rest of the time and it ran great. Ejection was a little spicier than unsuppressed but it didn’t seem excessive for such a high back pressure can. I didn’t pay too much attention to ejection patterns because I feel like that is kind of like trying to read tea leaves but the brass was all in the same general area. Can’t wait to get another mount and try it on the 17.

Still kinda regret it cuz I know I would’ve rather had the 5-25 or 4-20 in which they all look the same exact size. but I’ve been told otherwise that the 7-35 is on the mk20. I have seen the tanos at work but haven’t bothered to look to see exactly which one. I know this one is on the mk13 but that’s different story |

As a “Sniper Support Rifle” I’d want the highest mag possible with the same reticle as the “sniper rifle”. As as stand alone I think the S&B 5-20, Mk6 3.6-18, NF 4-20 are about perfect. |

I was using a mk6 on mine when I was taking it out to 1200. I was guessing at 1600 but I feel a 7-35 would’ve helped a little. I know 1600 is ridiculous and 1200 is more of its limits. But a 7-35 would’ve helped better. If or when they release the r-vps then I might swap |

New SCAR 17S NRCH that I picked up less than a week ago. Had some clone parts lying around and ordered up some remaining items. Geissele trigger and CLS QR code label inbound and then I'm done. Thanks to @brodband8 for the deal on the 3-prong FH.

I think this is going to be it's final form. I want a suppressor for it, but haven't settled on anything yet. None of them will be clone-correct, so I haven't been motivated in any particular direction. Leaning towards B&T 762 can that uses SF hiders.

And I have seen pictures of the 4590 that I’m looking for. But, I’m quite certain I’ll never find it. I’ve seen it on an extremely rare MK17 variant and some SCAR 17’s. And, while I’m not an intending to clone a MK17, if I were able to find this lower, it would perfectly match this rare MK17 variant. C’est la vie. |
