Quoted: My super short rifle base is covered by .300 BLK. I don't follow SCARs, but assumed they would at least have an 11.5" variant. Apparently not, so screw that one. I wouldn't bother with 5.56 @ 7.5".  The fireball is epic and the concussion will mess up anyone in a ten foot circle of you. |
|
Even at that price, no deal for me. In that barrel length I want it chambered in 300BO. FN keeps teasing a blackout barrel, but based on their recent pricing increases it'll probably be $1100. The PSA Jackal stole FN's lunch money on short piston guns and the .308 Jackal is likely do the same to the SCAR17. I have no reason to buy this now that the Jackal exists. Don't forget, PSA loves civilians. FN will deny a warranty repair if you shoot a SCAR with anything other than their suppressor. |

The SCAR is a semi-auto version of a battle-tested full-auto military rifle that is built to a high quality standard. The Jakl is a civilization sporting rifle. For most people it’s probably fine. Like you said, PSA loves civilizations. So much they have civilizations beta test their products. |

Quoted: No one, absolutely no one, could have predicted that a 7.5" 5.56 SCAR wouldn't sell ~8” 5.56 shorties are fine. It’s just that whatever FN came up with is ugly as sin. If they made 10” 5.56 pistols and 13” 7.62x51 pistols those would sell fast.  They should have went with the SCAR PDW instead of the SCAR SC/15P

Quoted: No one, absolutely no one, could have predicted that a 7.5" 5.56 SCAR wouldn't sell I remember shooting a 7.5" 223 AR once. I got a headache within 5 rounds and handed it back. Not sure if that thing is even compatible with longer barrels, if the gas ports don't line up. |

| Agree with the general sentiment here. I have oodles of shorty 5.56 guns. Usually, I try to stick with 10.5 or over. A couple times I've dipped down to the 8" range. 7 is too short for my liking at that price. If it was significantly cheaper, or the barrel was double digits, I'd be on it like a fat kid on cake. |

DEAL Available in black and FDE swar15: What can you tell me about the dealer/distributor (Guns.com) you linked? I have visited their site on many occasions and their prices are always among the lowest advertised. They are mentioned frequently on various gun forums (and I have never seen any complaints or negative comments) so I assume they are good to go. Are they merely a drop shipper (who arranges for the delivery of your purchase from manufacturer/distributer to your local FFL) or are they an actual brick and mortar business with inventory? How does it work? Make the purchase and payment on their site and then have your local dealer email a copy of their 01 FFL to them? Thanks for any information you can provide. |
