Is the 6.5 Creedmoor SCAR 20 good to go now, or are there still issues with it?

No issues with mine. Bought it used (RCH), & immediately sent it to FN for the "upgraded" bolt & firing pin.
Installed the KNS discarder adjustable regulator to slow the bolt carrier down just a bit.
~150 rounds & runs just fine. Boringly accurate.

The ones with the upgraded firing pin channel and firing pins have zero issues.

The "new" bolts that have the updated firing pin are marked HP, so if you buy used look for that.

I haven’t had issues using the original bolt and firing pin but I don’t have a ton of rounds through the 6.5 barrel either.
