Yours is also the first Ive really noticed the different colors in the plastic parts, between the cheek riser and rest of the buttstock. The cheek riser mags and 1/2 the larue index clips I dyed Rit brown. I was going for the tan/brown contrast. What colors of rit dye did you use? Is there a "how to" on this anywhere? Can you not do it if you started with black furniture of black Larue clips? EYA: nf9648, I don't know if you remember, but you let me shoot your scar at Kokohead. You are the reason I now have a scar, I was hooked instantly 
Youre lucky I cant bring it back, otherwise you would be packing up your house and moving to NFA land.  I dunno what Im gonna bring back next time I visit and work on my house, I only have a couple title 1 guns left...
I already thought you had some cool guns to begin with. Didn't you have an HK SL8 conversion or something similar? Did you get that to SBR that one? Your welcome to shoot my stuff if you ever get back. Was the USC/UMP conversion, wish I still had it because I wouldve form 1'ed that one too. OGC took it as a trade on another rifle a few years ago. |

Damn Aimpoint 3x magnifier works better with the Eotech than it does with the T-1; Eotech still has a dot in the middle instead of a comet.

I've been hearing reports back of them cracking on some guys using them over seas, duck tape/ace bandage seems to be the simplest fix. |

Ive heard of wrapping your leg or foot in ace if you break it but just cause your stock looks like a leg not sure ace is going to fix anything. Ive hear so many bogus things about so many things I take everything with a grain of salt. |

I have never liked the "airsoft" feel of the SCAR, but it is what it is, and in the end it's just another tool. I wrapped it because with my luck and Mr Murphy's help the stock will somehow find a way to break.

Tango Down has a replacement latch that is much more robust and supposedly fixes this slight problem. |

Do you own a aimpoint magnifier as well? If so, is there any difference in length and eye relief between the aimpoint and eotech magnifiers? Id like to move the XPS back a few notches but wont be able to use the aimpoint magnifier due to eye relief if I do.

Here's mine currently.Started out black. Then turned green. Then got a stupid camo job. Now has the ultimate accuracy improvement and is Norrell's tan (not truely FDE). Who can say what color it will be next beer...I mean year?
Apologies if you've seen any of these pics before...I know I've posted them over at the FN Forum, but can't renember if I splotched them here. I wanted to show the progression anyhow. If I could camo like Enok, I'd do it in a heartbeat. That is WICKED! |

Got both SCARs zeroed in at standard .mil 25m BZO using M855 and a M80 equivalent, respectively. Call me a puss, but that 17s has more recoil than I can manage as a run-n-gun type compared to my ARs and little SCAR; Im thinking the SCAR 17 is gonna end up with a bipod and something magnified. I need to figure out which suppressor Im goinig to go with as well so I can replace that PWS brake, that thing is intense.
