Quick question -
Do you folks think the SCAR will ever be produced for the civilian market ? |
|
FN will release it as soon as the production is up to speed. Thats what I was told about a year ago when the FN rep stopped by the local store to sell the FS2000 & P90 civi version. I promptly got on the list for the F2000! It releases to us on March 2006! |
|
|
I really hope that's the case. |
|
|
I will be FNs bitch when the SCAR is released...I'll probably pick up an FS2000 as well.
Looking forward to both. |
|
Yep. FN puts out the FS2000 and the SCAR for civies and they will oficially be THE SHIT! I'll buy one of their scatterguns and bolt action accurate rifles. |
|
|
So you have no use for a weapon built on a system that uses quick-change barrels, a proven reliable gas system, AR-15 mags, has built in rails where they're supposed to be, folding adjustable stock, proper cheek weld that is adjustable for optics, and comes from a company that is known for building high-quality firearms? Ok, more for me. |
|
|
Its good to finally see something new come now that the ban is gone.
|
|
No, I don't. I don't see it doing ANYTHING for me that the AR-15 doesn't do now. Who needs quick change barrels? Sure, sounds sexy but please..... I have a proven, reliable gas system now. I have AR-15 mags now. I have rails, where I want them now. I have an adjustable stock. Folding, might be interesting. Cheek weld? Not an issue now. Reliable company? Not in the commercial world - they legally can't sell AR-15s. More companies, more guns on the market = good thing. Bring it out FN. |

I ran into FN's military sales branch in early October.
They said 1-3 years for the civilian version, since the current production is dedicated to military uses. Kharn |
|
Me too! Got 2500 rounds of 308, nothing to shoot it with |

What he said. |

FN has definately hit the Mother load with bringing out civilian versions. The buyer usually never forgets who their friend is and spends more with them.
Kudos to FN. |
|
agreed There is actually a company already offering a quick-change barrel for the AR15, and to my knowledge, not many buy it. I will look for the pix if I can find them I will post them. But the point is, most who want different calibers, just get different guns eta pix of the ar15 with quick change barrel LINK |

|
They have changed this spec; it will use a proprietary magazine. |
|
|
you have an AR-180? |
|
|
|
That thing is just ass-ugly. Put me on the list. |
|
|
Hopfully, by the time it is released I will be able to GET BOTH!!
|
|
I don't know why, but I f'n love the way it looks! (get it ? f'n...FN....). |
|
|
So cool.
Well played. |
||
|
What's up with all the short barrels lately? Sheesh.
Of course, the civvie version will be atleast 16" and maybe longer. I think the XCR and the FN SCAR will be competing for my $$$. |
|
One thing I've been curious about the SCAR as compared to the older FNC....
Aside from the integrated rail mounts (and I assume the upper is alloy as opposed to steel) is there anything fundamentally different in design from the FNC? So what makes the 5.56 SCAR-L so revolutionary? I'm genuinely curious. |
|
Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass for the -L, but the -H is on my WILL HAVE list.
|
|
Take a look at this:
lightfighter.net/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/7206084761/m/4441053771/p/1 The above was written bt none other than Mr. Clynt Lynch, moderator of the Lightfighter.net Weapons forums currently employed by FNH-USA (IIRC). |

The SCAR is evolutionary. |
|
|
Oh gosh i can't wait.
Reliable, clean running, gas piston, monolithic upper.... whoa. Sign me up. I plan on selling the AR for this too. |
|
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
I know, I know. Form follows function. But that has to be the ugliest rifle I've ever seen. |
|
No, I have RELIABLE guns - AR15's |
||
|
One "L" and one "H" please! I am hoping the XCR and possibly the FS2000 will hold me over until the Scars come out. FS2000, PS90, and the SCARs, FN is my new favorite gun maker.
|
|
Well that sucks. I must have 50 FN FAL mags. |
||
|
The FN2000 will be hard enough to resist, but I WILL buy a SCAR-H the second it hits the market.
|
|
+1 Makes a Hi-Point carbine almost look desireable. |
|
|
Technically, it's a slightly modified FAL mag. |
|||
|
Besides FN2000 P90 RX4 Storm's Big Brother XCR ? |
|
|
You must not have seen the Beretta RX4 yet I can't wait to buy a SCAR-L and SCAR-H. They are on my "must have at all costs" list. |
|
|
None of these have actually been released yet. I know the PS90 is close. |
||
|
Neither has the SCAR, so whats your point? Hell I could have put the Styre AUG A3 or Shrike on there, but I didn't. Those listed are going to come out barring some unforseen legislative problem. Well the XRC maybe...we all know about Robarm... |
|||
|
INteresting, (I haven't signed up at lightfighter so I couldn't view the original post). So what are the advantages of these two changes (multi-lugged bolt and tappet system) over the older design? Thanks, Observer |
|
|
That was my point , the AWB has been dead for a year and 3 months almost, and nothing "new" has really been produced yet. |
||
|
If FNH builds it I will come, FS2000, P90, Five seveN, and a SCAR-L.
A.) they are uber guns B.) lets support a company that is actually brining 21st century firearms to the civillian marketplace. |
