So do SCARS, now. If you have an older one you can buy the new lower and swap it in. you know, if you have a shit ton of SR25 mags lying around.

If it's just a matter of having as many mags as possible, I'd rather spend 20$ each on PMAGs than 40$ for limited availability Scar specific mags.

FN Herstal is a semi-government owned company which pretty much never fires employees and employs a large number of people. They have high running costs due to that.

You're a fucking idiot. The SCAR was designed from '03-05, and completed LRIP in '07 - the same year the very first Pmag was ever made. Well before LR Pmags were even a thing.

So tell me again why FN should have designed their weapon around a product that didn't even exist?

>>32576961
Why would they not make it compatible? They were making it for SOCOM, who aren't going to have any FAL mags in inventory, so making the SCAR mag a modified FAL mag instead of a variation of the plentiful (for the original customer) SR25 mag was just fiscal dickishness because they knew SOCOM would pay.

Did you miss the part where it is SOCOM that gave FN the specifications? If SOCOM cared in the slightest about SR25 mags, they would've stated they wanted the damn magwells to be compatible, you blithering idiot.

FN simply took the mag design they knew best and improved on it.
>>
>>32576994

Why are LR Pmags popular? Because original SR-25 mags are retarded expensive and notoriously unreliable.

FN already had the tooling to produce a modified FAL magazine which are cheap and without issues.

And get this, Kevin Boland confirmed that FN has produced and offered a SR-25 mag compatible lowers to their Mk17 customers, except nobody wants it. The only person complaining about it here is you, and you don't even own a SCAR.

>>32576994
Wht wouldn't they make their own mags so they can get the extra money and can make sure any issues aren't due to someone else's QC issues? Besides I f SOCOM wanted SCARs that used SR-25 mags then they would have gotten them by making it a requirement. They didn't because the didn't care.
>>
>>32577247
>The 5.56 SCAR is retarded

Your fucking face is retarded. The sole reason guns like the SCAR and HK416 exist and continue to be used by JSOC elements today is because they provide reliable functionality in performance categories the Stoner-DI AR fails to deliver.

If you're going to be shooting up to a thousand rounds a day, every day, through suppressed, short barreled machine guns, you need a piston operated platform to keep up.

The M4-CQBR couldn't cut it, the Mk18 still can't cut it. The reason 9 AR-15 entries from Colt, LMT, KAC and others were surpassed in the SOCOM SCAR evaluation is because they couldn't cut it.

I'm sorry to inform you the Stoner gas system is not a be all end all solution for every application and there are face shooters in this world that wanted something else, hence why the SCAR is a thing.
>>
>>32577337
SOCOM no longer uses any 5.56 SCARs. Because they aren't any better than ARs.
>>
>>32577337
no. after evaluating the SCAR the US Army came to the decision that the M4 is still the better rifle so they didnt adopt it
>>
>>32577383
>Because they aren't any better than ARs.

False. 15% budget cuts across the board along with being required to stand up an additional battalion at every group including purchasing required aviation assets meant that SOCOM had to pick a program to defund. The Mk16 was chosen because similar capability was provided by the M4 which are obtained from the parent branches essentially free.

The myth that SCAR's "aren't any better than ARs" is easily discredited by the fact that no AR was selected during the SOCOM trials. FN's product is obviously better at SOME things, the things SOCOM was interested in, otherwise the solicitation and adoption of an entirely new rifle would never have been initiated.

>>32577388
after evaluating the SCAR the US Army came to the decision that the M4 is still the better rifle so they didnt adopt it

Also patently false. The entire SCAR family of weapons (including the Mk16) passed Milestone C and were officially adopted into the US Military's arsenal. Individual units that wish to procure their own funding are free to purchase and utilize the Mk16 as they see fit. SOCOM elected to defund their acquisition due to the aforementioned budget constraints, absolutely nothing to do with the M4 being "the better rifle".

Yeah you're full of shit. The SCAR16 is a dumb concept. It offers nothing over the M16 family other than higher costs.
>>
>>32577535
>extruded aluminum, hammer forged barrels, large blocky parts and injection molded polymer is expensive

No you. The only thing the AR has going for it is economy of scale and over a half century of continuous refinement. And even given that, it's still not better at being a SCAR than the SCAR is.

Not really. And when you try, you end up with something like the ARAK or Serbu-15, which are ostensibly NOT AR-15's.

There is when you are trying to shoot large volumes of fire through a suppressed short barreled rifle. That is what the SCAR was designed to do, because that is what the original costumer NEEDED it to do.

>>
>>32578101

There's no extruded aluminum receiver, large simple to machine parts or injection molded plastic besides furniture on the 416. And in that regard it's no different from any AR-15. It's also expensive to manufacture, just like the AR-15, which was the issue being argued. So thanks for backing up my point.

However there is one major difference between the 416 and the Stoner AR, that obviously being its method of operation.

The 416 uses a short stroke op-rod gas piston because JSOC (the people who first requested, adopted, and continue to use it) found the direct impingement gas system of the M4 to be incapable of providing reliable operation and parts sustainability for their firing schedule.

So once again, thank you for further backing up my point that the AR is not a be all end all solution for every user and situation. It is most certainly not "the best" at everything.
>>
>>32578177
The Bren grip has interchangeable back straps. They will eventually have a healthy aftermarket after it gets into more peoples hands. The CZ Scorpion hasn't been out that long and they got a pretty good aftermarket.

.223 is all you need.

Czechs make good guns.
>>
>>32578177
I'm guessing it's to take advantage of the US markets and if it does well they'll realise a .308 eventually.

I can see it finding decent success here provided it isn't dogshit and there being a good after market for it.

Not sure why people are salty or gloating, it's potentially another great gun that will make jobs stateside churning out doodads and toys.

Outside of some bullpup most don't really care for, the AR, some AKs, the SCAR and a handful of other small projects there's not really much in the US semi auto rifle market because the AR is so darn profitable and popular.

It'll find a niche and aftermarket will appear, the Scorpions is a successful pistol caliber carbine in an age when it is rapidly approaching obsolescence, people like CZ and they like fun new things, let's see where this goes.

If there's one thing monolithic receiver designs like the SCAR, BREN, APC, etc have a shortcoming with it's adapting the gas piston location to correspond with different caliber requirements without redesigning the entire weapon.

>>>32578518

You're never going to see that gun in that caliber with a barrel shorter than 14" because it just won'twork. 300blk requires a pistol length gas block location to ensure enough back pressure to cycle the weapon. You can't move the BREN's gas port location further into the receiver so you're stuck with extra barrel out front.

That being said, .300 is a meme caliber so I don't really care much anyways.

5.56 and .223, while sharing similar dimensions, are not the same thing. Put 5.56 in a .223 gun and you'll blow up the rifle from the pressure. Put .223 in a 5.56 gun, and it'll -somewhat- cycle. There's a reason why the .223 Wylde chamber is popular because you can shoot both .223 and 5.56 loads safely and reliably. It's basically the same thing with 9mm Gilsenti and 9mm Parabellum, they share similar dimensions but one has weaker chamber pressures than the other.

>>
>>32578755

I should further emphasize the brilliance of the SCAR's design:

It was brought to market and priced to compete with top of the line AR's like the KAC SR-15 and LWRC M6. Rifles representative of the best capabilities the AR had to offer and each sold with pricetags to reflect their respective manufacturers investment of quality research and development.

Meanwhile the SCAR is the comparative equivalent of a modern western AK-47. Designed to be cheap and fast to produce in huge volume. Yet it still provides the accuracy, reliability and performance features the same or better than those top of the line rifles it was priced to compete with.

It's both cheap and good. No matter your personal preferences you have to admit the design has true merit.

the difference is the same as 7.62 RFN and .308 you coon, just because it says .308 on the side of the gun does not mean it can't fire 7.62
>>
>>32579128
"Just as good as" as well
>>
>>32579146
.308 have higher pressure than 7.62x51 NATO. So yes, a gun chambared in .308 can fire any 7.62x51 but not every 7.62x51-chambered weapon can fire .308.
With ..23/5.56x45 its the other way around
>>
>>32579100
>they are overpriced for civilians because FN can get away with it

But that's the oxymoron of the SCAR. It's both overpriced because it's dramatically cheaper to manufacture, and at the same time it's not because other products with similar features are priced in the same bracket.

It's the duplicity of the SCAR's design reality and FN's free market tactics that most critics fail to address which specifically they're criticizing and even more frequently confuse with one another.

>a stock SCAR is lacking until you do some work on it.

For what it is and what it's intended to be I completely disagree. The SCAR comes out of the box with everything you need besides ammo. Anything you might chose to add is a matter of personal preference more than implicit need.

True, not a terrible price just so many ARs it kind of warps the markets.

CZ honestly should have started out with a .308 model, making a 300 blackout first is a puzzling thing given all the work it probably that had to go into it.

>>32579200
I was comparing it to an AR in the same price bracket, which like I said is probably unfair given the import costs and middlemen required for the civilian market.
>>
>>32575298
You can actually buy a SCAR 16 though, the Bren 2 (pictured) isn't even set to be imported yet.
>>
>>32579321
If CZ had come out with a .308 model and a 6.5 creedmoor model for $1500-1750 it would have taken the market by force.

Coming out with an intermediate cartridge version first? Its another one in the bucket.

Generally speaking, MSBS is ready to be produced since 2014, but Polish Army is holding them off for some reasons, instead, they ordered 30k Beryls in 2016, what really exhausted production capacity of FB Radom for the next 3 years (about 10k beryls per year with 3 shifts a day)

What do you expect. They had enough money to dump for an expensive rifle, they're certainly going to have enough to spend for all the "upgrades" for it.
The only worthwhile "upgrades" for the gun would be a better trigger and a angled charging handle.
Regardless, if FN had half a brain cell, they'd sell them for 2k MSRP and they'd make more money than they would ever dream.

>Regardless, if FN had half a brain cell, they'd sell them for 2k MSRP and they'd make more money than they would ever dream.

No they wouldn't. They'd make less than they are currently because every SCAR is being sold as soon as it leaves the factory. There is literally no economic incentive for FN to lower SCAR MSRP given the current market demand for them which far exceeds supply.

What would actually make sense is for FN to increase SCAR production, especially stateside in their SC facility. Then you might actually start to see prices lowered as availability and demand reach equilibrium.

It's basic shit my dude.

>>32579022
The difference in spec is lead in the throat and the thickness of the neck.

A tight .223 chamber will produce overpressure with 5.56 because of constriction, not powder charges. The thicker brass in 5.56 means it'll actually hold less powder, and some .223 loadings aren't safe to use with 5.56 brass.

The vast majority of .223 marked guns have 5.56 compatible chambers though, so quit being a sperg unless you think a Czech bullet hose has an archaic match chamber cut.

If you can't see the merit of the gun and don't understand that the SCAR is the product of a purely SOCOM focused competition, you probably don't own a lot of guns and are dumb as fuck.. If you think 3000 is too much to pay for a rifle, you're really too poor to be talking about high quality firearms in the first place. Look at the SR-25, the REPR, the GAP-10, the JP guns.
