Mine is FDE, 5.56 calibrated SOCOM overrun. The only dark earth 7.62 variant I've seen sold for $4000+ on eBay. (And to think I almost bid on it...)

*Place holder*
I put 1K down on a black 17 this weekend!! I told my guy I would leave it there for 2 weeks while he attempted to find one in FDE. There hard to come by right now, but we will see what he can do. I still like the black one, but I would prefer the more accurate tan color.
ETA: Owned a page in a picture thread and dont have a picture... 
Standby.... Yeah, I got nothin.

If it's cut off I don't know if it will clear the attachment without modding it. |

What are you guys using to cut off the front sling attachment points for light mounting?
Dremel? |

Before you go hacking off bits of your gun, quite a few light/mount combos will go around the loops just fine. The only one I know you have to cut for is the IWC/HS Thorntail. I run a Gear Sector Scout Mount/M600C on mine without modifications. |

The gear sector mount works for a m600 not the m300 on the side rails, but the m300 will clear the loop if you mount on the upper rail. I did this at first but with the extended rail height it pushed the light a little to far toward the top. So i chopped the loop off and made it right i used a dremel, go slow its easy and use aluma-black cant even notice it with the light attached

So whats the best aftermarket grip options for these. The A2 style is horrible IMHO. Usually run the MIAD. Something a dremel to the grip can make work?

+1 on the Tango Down grip. I found it a huge improvement over the standard grip, enough to not attempt the mod for the MIAD.

Updated a few things. Decided I did not want a VFG on this one. I changed the safety selectors to the Magpul ones and swapped to a TD charging handle. I am still on the fence about the TD Charging Handle. Will have to see how I like it after a few more range trips. I also swapped the brake to the AAC I had lying around. Now I need a sling and a mounting solution. Any recommendations? I have a few 2 point slings around with QD swivels.

Does the SCAR offer much in the way of QD sling mounts? May have to go with a Gear Sector 2-point with HK hooks. These pics are killing me. They just prompted me to put one of my ARs up for sale to fund one of these. Lovin' everyone's rifles. |
