I'm in the same position. What's stopping me is this fact: It is a largely plastic gun that actually costs less to build per unit than an AR and FN only sells it for so much because they can.

Still, getting to >>31520179 makes me really want to just throw down.

Being noguns at the moment also doesn't really help my decision either way :\

You don't have experience with the scar. It was designed from the ground up to be piston operated. The cam track is much longer than on an AR. This lowers the pressure greatly on the bolt lugs. The operation of the BCG is so smooth, so it's not hard to imagine it can last 200,000 rounds, ON FULL AUTO too!

I own a SCAR and I'm constantly defending them from know-nothing plebs, but if you are gunna keep your AR, you really shouldn't buy it.
It's better than an AR and an AK (because it borrows ideas from them, not because they're bad), but you would be better off having an AR and $2,700 worth of ammo, training, and gear, than two good 5.56 guns.
So, buy it and sell your AR, or keep your AR and get training.

But you don't even own the rifles, you are a noguns

Paying 2700 for a stock rifle that is mass produced for line infantry units is fucking stupid, considering that once FN competes their contract with the Belgian military and Americans start realizing that the HK 416 has been adopted by the military and law enforcement over the SCAR. The only thing you morons will be stuck with is a polymer and aluminum framed rifle that at most is worth 1600 MSRP
>>
>>31520569

The only thing anyone is attacking is the price you sperglord. Even you can admit there simply isn't 3k worth of actual utility in that platform considering that the polymer and aluminum is supposed to keep production at a lower cost over using steel
>>
>>31520628
Polymer and aluminum are used to keep weight down, not price. It was originally going to have a lot more steel, but it would've weighed over 10 pounds.
And in every other thread that's ever been made about SCARs, there are people who literally make shit up in order to shit on the gun.
>>
>>31520641

lol bullshit, if anything SCAR owners try to shit on other peoples rifle and try to act as if the SCAR is a revolutionary leap in gun design and that rifles never functioned properly before the SCAR

Everyone admits that the SCAR is the better rifle but by margin it isn't that much better. Sure it wins in weight, recoil and ergonomics, but a PWS compensator can be bought for 100 bucks and put on any other rifle

Its a fine rifle but it isn't magic, for people who already have guns that they actually shoot regularly and not just look at, the SCAR offers nothing that we don't already have and its improvements aren't worth the current civilian markup.
>>
>>31520665

"worth" is subjective.

I already had 3 ARs when I got my SCAR 16 and while I agree that the ARs do the same job almost as well, the 16 is an improvement. For me, that improvement is worth the cost because I'm not forgoing anything as a result.

The SCAR 16 is now my favorite rifle and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Things such a cost-benefit analysis and price-performance ratio do exist and as of RIGHT NOW the SCAR simply isn't worth what they are selling it to civilians for.

In the future of FN doesn't go full retard and actually support their rifle instead of just selling it, the scar might be an option. But by then the HK416 will be light years ahead in terms of market share and aftermarket parts/accessories

>>31520721

They already have a decent market share in the U.S. As much as you try to deny it, what the U.S military and law enforcement uses has huge sway in where the civilian market goes. And of right now, the adopting of the 416 by the Marine Corps and federal agencies gives HK a huge advantage over the SCAR.

They have bolt failures in the real world. Even the rental range the whole 200 gorjillion rounds with no failures had a bolt failure. The guy simply misspoke in the MrGunsAndGear video. They replace recoil springs on a regular interval and have had 1 bolt failure. MK 16s see bolt failures too but slightly less frequently than the m4.

SCARs are cool but at the end of the day, it's not going to be that much more fun to run than an AR15.

Get a bullpup. ARfags will talk shit, but they are actually fun to train on as manual of arms is so different and when it comes to having a gun in a vehicle, there is no comparison.

Biggest benefit of a bullpup though is extended mags don't offset the balance of the gun, so all the ARfags with 'muh reloads' can STFU as you'll have extra ammo in the mag in the first place.

>And people are paying like $300 for the ACR stock + Adapter.

Are you seriously implying that having aftermarket options is somehow bad or indicative of a OEM design failure?

>FN could had added an extended rail. At the very least go over the gas block.

They have extended rails. Look at the SCAR-H PR extension or the SSR receiver and of course that is totally ignoring the vast amount of aftermarket offerings.

As for extending an extra inch? Now you're just nitpicking. The side rails extend as far as the 12 o'clock rail can go which is at its limit due to the gas block mounted folding front sight post.

>It works but it's not toolless

"Toolless" barrel changes are shit. As evidenced by the ARX being incapable of hitting a barn from the inside and the total failure of the ACR breaking its barrel nut every time you try to torque the damn thing.

>there are way easier designs to use. LMT for example

They both involve loosening and then tightening retention screws with a specific amount of torque. I fail to see the difference, but perhaps because I don't suffer autism like you.

>And non directly comparability with AR grips.

First off, I have an 'AR' grip on my SCAR, so you're wrong. But furthermore, let's look at this from FN's perspective; It's 2003 and you're designing a new rifle for SOCOM, why the fuck would you care about anything more than magazine compatibility with a completely different rifle? Pro tip: the vast AR accessory market wasn't a thing until after the AWB.

>Hey want X part end yser? Well just send your whole fucking rifle in

If you have a problem with your gun requiring replacement of a defective part affecting the safety of operation its their liability if it is not properly fixed. The only way to ensure that happens is to have the customer return the product. Perfect example being the recent bolt hardness issue with the 17S.

The rifle is good, but it is for rich ARfags who simply want something different. Its much more expensive than rifles that perform just as good at a lesser cost.
>>
>>31522814

Just stock some high wear parts and keep an AR receiver in the closet. I've had to replace the extractor retaining pin on my AUG.

TAVOR has changes made to it from the Israeli version for the US design and runs filthier than an AR.

Find a Steyr USR or AUG A1 or a Australian Lithgow receiver. They are the real deal. The A3's are alright but they won't hold there value as well.
>>

Think of it as built in camouflage.

>>31522854

There are things the SCAR is no question better at but in most cases they're not worth double the cost of a very solid AR.
>>
>>31522822

Obviously it's just my opinion. However it doesn't speak very highly of any rifle when even the people that helped design and market it (Travis Haley and Chris Costa) say that it sucks and breaks every time they've ever touched one.

Honestly I don't even know where to begin with my complaints:

>barrel profile sucks
>1:9 twist is lame
>not chrome lined
>over 8 lbs empty
>super front heavy
>non adjustable gas setting
>stock is documented prone to breaking at the hinge
>selector switch is is super uncomfortable when set to fire
>unsupported magwell spits rounds on reload (causing malfuncitons)
>quick change barrel system is known to be fragile and break
>had to be recalled due to going full auto (sign of shoddy testing and build quality)

I'm probably forgetting a lot of things, but even Freedom Group knows it sucks. They tasked Remington with developing an improved version which they made but then decided it wasn't worth selling due to lack of government/military interest. Only a few of them were ever sold.

That was only an issue on the 17, not the 16 and had more to do with the type of recoil than the felt recoil. And it also had more to do with the stock muzzle device than the rifle itself.

No real reason beyond convenience. I've got plenty of STANAGs too but I like the feel of the polymers a bit more, I feel less likely to gouge myself on them and I've got a shitload of them.

Takes like 15 seconds to dremmel the things down when they come out of the bag and I've filed a few down at the range with my leatherman in pretty much no time.

Because adopting a service weapon has a lot more to do with politics than it does performance.

That said, there are plenty of international operators of the SCAR. Go check out the Wiki page if you need a list.
>>
>>31523605

Yet the trade off is accuracy. As far as the civvie market goes, they know that most shooters are watching thier groups at the range or hunting, now considering the fact that most civvies won't shoot thier gun enough to blow out the barrel. It makes more sense for the MR to have an unlined barrel that will be more accurate so people don't instantly go on the internet after babbys first trip to the range and declare "THIS IS AN INACCURATE PIECE OF SHIT!!!!111!!!

>>
>>31523679

No one is arguing that. The reason the MR is such a disappointment is because nobody asked for it to be configured that way. Consumers wanted a semi auto civilian 416. We got something that sort of looks like it, but lacks the important features that make the 416 a serviceable duty weapon ie. not shooting itself out after 10K rounds.

You're an idiot. The reciprocating charging handle is a feature, not a flaw and it was specifically asked for during the design process. And if you think there's no occasion for a folding stock, you've never gotten into or out of a vehicle with a gun. Or stored a gun. Or packed a gun in luggage.

Or maybe even handled a gun. Unless you think we should replace all those AK folding stocks with the clearly superior telescoping m4 alternative.

>You're an idiot. The reciprocating charging handle is a feature
No my ignorant friend. It's not a feature, it's another mark on the list of the SCAR being inferior to the Masada.

I'd consider KAC and, say, Noveske actual luxury brands. They're legitimately boutique manufacturers. They also aren't marked up just for the sake of markup, unlike FN SCARs.

It's not a crappy red dot actually its better then the eotech 553 in FOV alone.The brake is an Epsilon VG6 with CAGE device to reduce concussion. It's the lightest & shortest brake/flash concussion combo out period. I hope they make one in .308 one day. Also the dimensions of it allow for the flash hider to accept a griffin armament SD2 suppressor. That's still a ways off pending the election.

Not really.

Things the SCAR doesn't have.
-Toolless QD barrel
-Actual useful handguard
-A trigger pack made to be easy to replace and maintain
-Non rattly stock
-non reciprocating charging handle
-AR sights

The Masada is lighter too. For example Shrubmaster fuck up so hard in the design that you can a shave good 2lbs by making the components aluminium. Stuff like the piece that locks into the stock and what not.

Some other shit I'm probably forgetting.

>>31527257

>>
>>31527257
The QD barrel feature on the masada is prone to breaking. This is not a feature, as much as a liability.

How is the SCAR handguard not useful?

SCAR doesnt have a trigger pack, and doesnt need to be maintained regularly (maybe hammer replacement every 1/8th million rounds or so)

Masada stock is objectively worse

Reciprocating charging handle is a feature

AR sights are not really a huge thing. And the SCAR stock sights are pretty sweet.

See the million extended rails.

This is what I meant by misinformation and ill-informed opinions.

First off, the SCAR stock may feel loose and "flimsy" compared to other stocks. But what you can't feel or see is the solid aluminum internal skeleton (pic related) providing more strength and durability than any other polymer or AR design. The SCAR stock passed SOCOM's repeated drop testing which is a lot more than even most AR stocks can claim.

Secondly, the "SCAR stock's break" myth has been perpetuated by an incident back many years ago in which a grand total of 12 stock latches were broken during shipping from the factory to distributors. At that time SCAR stocks featured a black stock latch button (pic also related) that was not fully radiused where the teeth are. If you slamed the stock shut repeatedly there was potential for those teeth to shear off. FN took the input of end users and introduces a new stock latch button that solves that problem as well as an additional leaf spring to mitigate "stock rattle" that some people were autismo9000 about.

TL;DR; SCAR stocks never had an issue with breaking, but some stock latches did. The good news is FN fixed them and the gun doesn't even need a stock to work.

I'm not sure how much less non-existent that makes the Masada.

As for you: god speed. I hope you meet with success. That other dude is a faggot though.

Good luck with that, your raifu will never be real, not even a Pinocchio one you might craft.

Why would I want a TDP for an ACR? I want it as far from an ACR as possible. Why I'm making my own shells. I don't want the Shrubmaster name anywhere near it.

Whatever comes after smokeless powder and copper jacketed lead projectiles.

Do you have the TDP for the masada?
Even if you did its a failed design
No one got it to work nicely.
Do you have an ME degree?
Do you think your cobbled together skills will succeed?

The Masada was an interesting prototype. But it was just that. A hodgepodge of ideas with little refinement, a tremendous lack of real world evaluation, and a design with no ability to be manufactured in any significant numbers.

There's a reason the ACR gained 2 pounds, moved several key controls and still couldn't stop the gun from going full retard by accident and it's not just because shrubmaster is low tier manufacturer. The recipe simply wasn't finished and by the time it had cooked in oven a bit longer nobody like the way it tasted anymore.

Well the funny thing is the Airshit rifles are closer to the Masada then the ACR.

No ME degree and you'd laugh if you saw my mechanical drawings. It's just what I need to know to make cuts. The biggest issues for me are molding the polymer and stuff I have to outsource like getting the metal parts finished.

I've thought about altering the design enough to sell but that would mean I'd need to get an FFL and that isn't happening right now. Maybe after the election but my job isn't making rifles.

You're talking about Cerberus. I'm fully confident a backyard hack like me can do a better job then them.
There's been quite a few custom ACR parts over the years done by gunsmiths.

>>31527646
I admit that I don't know about Cerberus very well.

What Freedom Group used to be called. The people that own Shrub Master, Remington, etc.

See the R51 for the most recent example of their quality.

>>31527737
I see. I know the companies individually, just not them together.

careful anon, what you hear on 4chan isn't always right (in fact, it's almost always wrong)

>>31527737
Cerberus is not Freedom Groups previous name. Cerberus Capital OWNS Freedom Group.
>>
>>31528057
Freedom Group wasn't around till like 2008.

Freedom Group is a relatively new entity.

But you go ahead and keep spreading bullshit.
