I see lots of SBRed -16Ss, but not many CQCs, the most I've seen is one barrel waiting on a tax stamp!
I guess without many spare barrels available, no one wants to take the leap of faith and be stuck with a 13" .308? ~Augee |

I don't want to be stuck with only a 13" 7.62 barrel, I want to keep a 16" also. 17s F1 has been out since mid December but I'm going to wait it out for factory barrels which may be out about the same time my stamp gets back. http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp80/trn_photobucket/SCARS.jpg Engraving is done... just need the stamp and the barrel. http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp80/trn_photobucket/ENGRAVING.jpg |

Kalmar,
Imho, you have a beautifully set-up SCAR. Did you consider the FN front-end extension or only the PWS? Also, do you feel that you have the same build integrity with either component, afa maintaining your Zero and keeping the harmonics of the barrel the same? Thanks, Fenn |

Thanks Fenn. I love the "SSR" look of the FNH extension, however in my opinion there is no good reason to continue the same handguard profile past the moving parts portion of the SCAR. Unless you require a continuous 12 o'clock rail for mounting optics that far forward it's just unnecessary weight and bulk. I handled and compared both extensions before purchase and chose the SRX for that reason. Though either will be a quality piece, no doubt. The PWS rail attaches via a yoke to the front of the receiver and bottom rail. It does not contact the barrel in any way and maintains it's quick-change ability. The FNH extension screws into the front sling mount and does not allow this. I have not had a chance to test zero yet, but I doubt it will be affected.

I did not think it would make that much of a difference. I have been pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of the SCAR so far. |

For the way I like to shoot, I find it to be the grip that works the best. I bought one on whim and with the thought that I could sell it on the EE if I did not like it. The MIAD is a great grip, but this grip just happens to fit me better. The only thing I would like to see is maybe a backstrap like the MIAD that could be switched out for larger (or smaller one) depending on the consumer's preference. I switched out all of my rifles to the BCM, the SCAR required some fitting. BCM did a nice job with this one. The subtle change in angle just feels right. Unfortunately it has not made me a better shooter. |

My guess is his PEQ was slightly in his FOV, enough to annoy him into doing that?

Obviously he doesn't hang out on Arfcom. Somewhere, TACOM is having very important meetings over his non standard rifle.....

Thanks, Im looking hard at the PWS for the 17, but really cant go any longer than the Branham on the 16 due to the suppressor. 2 things I wish FN would reconsider is their length of the rail, and the rear sling attachment points. They should setup the rear attachment points like those on a MP5, large enough to run a web sling through as opposed to those little hook loops.

What about these http://promotedpawn.com/products/21
I installed these side rails on my 17 but have the branham on my 16. A little different setup on both but if I didn't need the bottom rail extended on the 16 I would switch it from the branham to these also |
