How does the SCAR L compare to similar extruded aluminum upper guns like the CZ BREN? V/R Ron |

I'm not sure which aluminum lower receiver to go with at this point but there's no saving this lower. The pistol grip suffered a catastrophic failure and sheared from the housing. The staff said that it happened while on the range and the customer didn't even notice it. It looked like a the grip came loose as the customer was bursting the weapon. This particular rifle has been on the line for several years and no idea of the round count. V/R Ron https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/125089/Broken_SCAR17_jpg-1141366.JPG |

Stopped in on Thursday the 12th and ran a couple of mags through the SCAR H. It ran perfectly! No idea on how long you have had that weapon running there, but I was impressed.
The MG-42 was awesome too!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HendersonDefense: Both SCAR's see plenty of use every day of the week and from the feedback from my staff, they both function on the same level without any reliability issues. I haven't checked for canted bolts on that area but I will make sure I do tomorrow. The only bolts we lost are the machine screws that hold the rails in place on the receiver. V/R Ron Did you ever get a chance to see if any canting/egging of the holes took place? |

Any FN-15s (FN AR15) at BFV? I know you’ve said you use primarily PSA and Colt but I had to ask. Love all of your threads!

The FN-45 was mentioned early in this thread and brought up a few more times; I am curious how they are holding up for you and also whether they are FNP-45s or FNX-45s. If they are FNX's, did you initially have FNP's?

Have had no issues with my 509T [Tactical], but FN has gone the way of HK. No spare parts even from the factory. Bought mine used and it only had about half the optic kit with it. Of course it's proprietary and I need the plastic spacer plate to mount a Holosun 507 [RMR footprint]. Nope, not available from factory or any vendors. Missing one of the grip inserts, again, not available. Had same issues with lack of parts with a previous FNX-45 Tactical. Like them, but never going to buy another since little support -- and these are still cataloged, doomed if it becomes "orphaned".

Thanks, I know about Midwest Gunworks being FN's "authorized" dealer for parts. But, for example, FDE grip inserts for 509 & 509 Tactical -- only small is available! No sets of three, no individual medium or large either from MGW or FN directly. Been like this for a couple of years, sometimes a few appear and then not available for a long time.

I hate to be the one to point the out. But he hasn’t responded to this thread since 2020. I think it’s done. Time for the archives.

Can anyone get Ron to comment on how the FN Scars have been holding up? Round count?
