UnknownAZ, that's exactly how I mounted my M300 & M600 to my 16S & 17S.
(My only difference is that I prefer the AFG.) Works great, don't it? |

With the light in that position, can you raise the front BUIS if you need it? |

They are only buying SCAR 17s cause they can be converted into 5.56 so they are basicaly getting to rifles in one. No reason to buy just a 5.56 package. |

Well, that makes sense. 7.62x51 IS a better suited caliber for longer range shots. I guess that the ability to convert to 5.56 makes 17s more desirable. That said I still like 16s better. HTR. |

Noooooooo
 , I want a SCAR with a heavier barrel not just under the handguards, but something like a midcontour barrel, like the barrel the M4A1 (SOCOM) comes with. What, do you have anyting against diversity? YOU may like pencil barrels, that doesn't mean we all have to like them, does it? 
Seriously now, why not? I may pick up Masada someday too. TIA (this is arfcom), GET BOTH! HTR. |

Seriously now, why not? I may pick up Masada someday too. TIA (this is arfcom), GET BOTH! HTR. Honestly, I would be surprised if a mid or heavier weight barrel is ever produced by FN. I do however feel that we will eventually see spare parts and currently issued barrel profiles. FWIW, my M4 clone has a Colt SOCOM barrel and I would be happier with a std Colt M4 barrel. Cheers |

Cheers From your mouth to FN's ears. I'm chopping my barrel now, but I'd love a 14" barrel as an option, and I'd love a basic spares kits (gas rings, piston, bolt/extractor, recoilf spring and guide, firing pin, etc.) I LOVE my SCAR, and I'd even considered buying a second just for spares.... but I can't quite convince myself. :) |

Best of both worlds of you ask me, then again I ALSO like heavier and LIGHTER barrels. I, as stated b4, would like to see more aftermarket parts for it.

Interesting. I always thought these were the 203 cuts on an M4 barrel...
No where does a 203 mount on to the relief cuts under the hand guard. I had one of these my last trip. |

It's so the rear portion of the m203 can fit over the barrel. Otherwise the barrel is too fat. Edit to clarify: The 203 doesn't mount on that rear cutout. It just needs it to fit over the barrel. |

Cheers To work with my 10.0" barrel I had to grind a 1/16th - 1/8th of an inch or so off the lower tab of the gas plug so that the suppressor would clear it while in the rear most position to lock in place.
