Mark my words.
Once the nay sayers and "the ar gas system is the best" homos get a chance to shoot the SCAR they will eat their words. Trust me.  Yes this is very  like. But like I said.....

I got to try the Scar H and L out quite a bit. I definately liked the hitting power of the H alot better. Tango's went down with one shot with the H where the L sometimes took several.
Of course you guy's probably don't care about my Ghost Recon experiences on Xbox with the Scar.

So you got to shoot the FN ARM rifle(s)?
Good stuff. How about some more detail of how they shoot and their features, as I love to hearing about these rifles. How was the stock? Did it feel sturdy? Good and easy adjustments? Good trigger? How was the balance? What barrel length did you get to try out? Any idea of accuracy? Cool stuff and I hope FN's plans to sell to civilians aren't ruined by the liberals. |

What does the FN SCAR use for a system? Blowback? Gas operated is the best system available. Felt recoil is decreased and it's a more accurate action. It is also more reliable than blowback and recoil operated actions in that there are less moving parts. Plus the gas operated system can handle any caliber with ease. Even the .50BMG. |

Dude, I think he means that the SCAR uses a traditional operating rod type system, as oppsoed the AR's direct gas straight into the bolt carrier design, As for the rest of this thread - what the FUCK are you talking about? |

IIRC the SCAR (now ARM) uses a gas tappet system, reminiscent of the M1 carbine. I would think this would work well with the design requirements for interchangable barrels. |

The civilian ARM rifle will be released in 2007. I'm guessing production will already be perfected by the time we see it.
As for the 416, I honestly don't see it having a large future. It's an expensive foreign manufactured upper. It may see use with small groups, but I highly doubt it's capable of wide spread use. (IE; Adding time to the M16's life line as general issue) I need to play this game so I can say I shot a ARM-H.

The reason I ask is beacuse there is an ODA that will be receiving L-W weapons and I figured it's pretty ironic; one ODA with an HK piston system rifle and another ODA with an L-W piston system rifle. Hence, whey I asked if by SF he meant an ODA, as opposed to any other SOF.

spoke to a gentleman at FN today....says that civilian scar version is IN THE WORKS not final yet as they have to go through a bunch of crap with ATF but if they do decide to put one out it will be in a yr or so.......the SCAR H and L are in there final productions as they wanted the rifle to be lighter than what it weights in at(ideal goal is 8 to 9 pounds for the SCAR H) and it will be taking FAL mags...just thought I would pass it on

yea been wanting the xcr myself but robarms is starting to piss me off now....keep pushing shipping dates back, the thing was supposed to be ready in Jan....im thinking I WILL NOT be buying now...dont want another 223 rifle, 6.8 is way to expensive and in my eyes will never take off, and the 7.62x39 conversion wont accept ak mags(will most likely be made by robarms so expect 40 to 50 dollar mags...screw that) im going to go with a krebs custom KTR-03S in 7.62x39, already have my FAL and I guess wait for the SCAR to one day hit the shelves untill then I will be perfectly happy with those 2 rifles,my cheap mags,my cheap ammo, and practice practice practice

You may see the 416 being used in small quatities for an interm fix to the M4, but due to procurement laws it can not be sole sourced for procurment. The whole SCAR or Army rifle competions would have to be re-competed (a lot of time and money)
If HK hadn't been dorking around with XM8 or in litigation with Colt they would have submitted to the SCAR competion. They are just trying to make up for piss poor judgement now with snake oil salesmen and flashy behind the scenes propoganda. just my 2 cents.

I thought he was talking down the gas operated systems in general in the initial post. I know next to nothing about the FN SCAR and was under the impression for whatever reason that it may have ran on a simlilar principle as some HK's.
Now that I did some searching I found:
I know, do some research before posting... Sounds like it could have quite a bit of potential indeed. |

That technical description is incorrect and that false information has been perpetuated as fact in several noted firerarms publications. For an accurate description of the FN SCAR, I suggest you take a look at the Small Arms Review evaluation and technical description of the FN SCAR. For one thing, the FN SCAR does NOT have a two lugged bolt. |

So the ejection port is on the left on this one. Makes sense since the stock folds to the righ and would block it. It's this a lefty specific or a standard config? |

No, it only ejects to the right, but you can change the charging handle to either side. The spent cases do not hit the stock when it is folded. The stock blocks nothing. |

The picture above is the SCAR-H. It is 7.62x51. The SCAR-L is 5.56. The L uses AR mags and the H uses Fal mags. There are several caliber conversions in the work for the SCAR series. The SCAR-H will be adaptable to 7.62x39 using AK mags. Do a search there is a ton of information available on these. Cant wait until these see production.
