Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By plaidium: Any particular reason why? Tooling, lack of interest. costs, all of the above, etc.? I asked them if tooling up for an 18t run was even a remote possibility. Their response: "No. Given the market, hard to justify making 100 cans and stop production of 1000 ranger 5 and 7s." So take that how you want. I then asked about the April 1st post thing just to confirm what I believed to be an April fools joke and they said: "Yes completely a joke" Maybe AAC is playing us. Who knows lol |

Just saw the chatter about the 701 cans - reminds me of the time a few years back when I nagged the shit out of Surefire to do a run of Mk20 cans - they said they could, but they'd need a huge order to justify doing it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brodband8: If you download the gallery and look at some of the other rifles in that gallery there is a guy using a lower with his trust info visible. The MK17 in the photo looks more like a commercial scar17s, and has the commercial scar brake on it. I'd bet they were allowed to use their own personal rifles for the event. Edit: It's an Aero lower. lol. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/283538/event_JPG-2463797.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/283538/scar_17s_JPG-2463799.JPG Are those the Magpul bipods ?

Over the years in my official capacity I have shot and carried M4's, AR15's, CAR-15's, Mini-14's, Socom 16's, Colt SMG's, you name it.
Currently I carry an AR15 from DPMS (Older) 16 inch barrel with a fold AR upper. Fits in a small Glock backpack for carry if needed. Having said all of that when the SHTF, my absolute go to is my SCAR 16 or SCAR 17. I absolutely love the 17. I routinely shoot out to 200 yards or less but have stretched it out to 900 if really needed it. I am using the Trijicon TA11 with green chevron for the optic. IMHO, the SCAR 17 is the best MBR there is. I love this thread, especially the pics provided by LsuJon, -KentuckyWindage-, Broadband8, and Combat_diver. You folks have taught me a lot and I appreciate you. |

I'm trying to find out if the mk20 SSRs were issued with any sort of UID tag like the mk17/16, but I've yet to see a picture of one in the wild with one visible.
They usually have the white sticker from FN, but that's not a UID is it? Appreciate any help! This is an awesome thread btw! |

No issues with the US scar, beyond the US marking on the top. Then I despise the even newer versions with the multi caliber engraving and the extra material in the upper receiver to help prevent full auto conversions. Lol |

Truth, what I've seen is the time they switched to the multi caliber marking is when the block started. I have a US NRCH model marked 5.56 that does not have the material. |

I’m sure it’s highly unlikely the SC autocarrier would leak onto the grey market anyway, but still. I could be wrong but I don't think it will prevent you from installing a FA bolt carrier. It would prevent you from attaching a lower with the sear trip installed. Easy fix. Remove the sear trip from the lower and install the standard ring spacer and it should work as a semi without major modification. |

It would prevent you from attaching a lower with the sear trip installed. Easy fix. Remove the sear trip from the lower and install the standard ring spacer and it should work as a semi without major modification. The added material is in the path of the auto carrier sear trip, as far as I can tell. If it was just to block the auto sear (not sear trip), then they would only need material towards the front (near/at the auto sear) and not extended all the way to the rear. So, to me, it would seem more likely that since the added material extends all the way to the rear, it’s meant to immediately reject something at the rear entry, which would be the auto carrier sear trip. But, I don’t have one, so I wouldn’t know. Here was my thought with pictures when it came up before on FNForum. Additionally, the 17S upper receiver was already designed to reject the autolower, but it did not reject the autocarrier. This new receiver would therefore reject both. |

I meant the sear itself. I think that extended piece of material left in the upper prevents a lower with a sear installed from being able to mate. It does not prevent a FA bcg from being installed. |

Thinking about doing a heavy version of a the standard Belgian SFG CQC. I've got the base heavy gun, just don't know either of the flashlights nor mount. Anyone know? The one from the below picture or previous picture.
SR07-D-IT, DS00, DBAL A2, probably switch T2 to EOTech 552 or Elcan 1-4 since they use those too, SCAR version Rotex V can be requested now, just the flashlights and mounts.
