I really enjoy my scar 16 and I’ve saved up enough to buy a 17s I like that it’s light and that I would make it like a DMR. I’m just curious what you guys thinks better. I will probably suppress it if that makes any difference thank you. I appreciate it.
Planning out my mk17 mod 0 dmr clone and came across this reference image. Is this suppressor the Surefire Socom762-rc2?? Cause the old AAC suppressors and the newer ones for the mk20 are impossible to find. This would be a great third obtainable correct option but it’s hard to tell. Funny enough I actually planned on doing this optic combo as well
Hello everyone, I finished my CSR-20 concept build and just getting everyone’s opinions.
Also I don’t have any intentions of selling but what would you all think this would be worth?
It’s a 20 chambered in 6.5 creed non reciprocating bolt. All has been upgraded only thing that’s the same is the bolt carrier, sled, and bolt itself. Everything else has had my grubby paws on it.
I do have access to a machine shop and welding shop so the barrel was shortened to 15” and pinned and welded with a SF Muzzle break. A lot of fun and unbelievable accurate for a small compact package.
Also as a side note we had two Garmin chronographs out there pulling speeds they were never farther than 1 for off. Very impressive little unit.
Build list is,
FN20 6.5 Creed
15” PNW barrel with SF MB
Surefire Socom 7.62
Handl Lower It does accept AR10 mags
KNS adjustable gas piston but same jet size which is wild….
Super Scar trigger
PMM bcd, safety, stock adapter
Lingle front and rear plate and rear support plates
Sig Cross fully adjustable FOLDING stock
Leupold Mk5 3.6-18 Trijicon RMR piggyback
Rego delete panels slightly modified to make work
BCM grips
KDG charging handle
Atlas QD bipod
Couple other little things.
I think that’s it…
After lots of deliberation, I decided on the Steiner T6xi 2.5-15x50. If by far surpasses any NF or Leupold I have used. Currently running a mark 5hd on my scar 20. Glass is unbelievable and the dial system is by far the best I’ve ever used. Next is to rattle can the whole rifle. Should I match the color of the scope or go for a different pattern?
I have 2 scar 17 barrels. I’m just wondering which would be better for short 308?
This bag came with an ACR I acquired off an SF dude a few years ago couldn’t find any place where these would have been available on the market what do we know about these bags?
Grabbed this blem from Primary Arms, was told it will no longer be available going forward
Has anyone tried these SCAR 17 mags made by KDG? I just discovered them today and haven’t found much reviews about their quality and reliability, if anyone has bought them and used them pls let me know how good they are, it’s half the price of a OEM mag and mags been hard to find lately
Flowthrough cans seem to be the consensus on what to run, but I’m considering three different suppressors and wanting any advice or feedback.
HUX flow 7.62 sounds like the gold standard, but I don’t love the reports of it being super sparky. I’m also considering a CAT ODB or OCL infinity. Are these “flowthrough” enough for the SCAR? Any other can recommendations?
I plan to run a Discarder but I’m wondering if that’s all you really need to suppress and not destroy the gun? Is the return spring worth messing with and the buffer pad? Do you also need to mess with the gas jets if you have a discarder, and is changing the gas screw necessary? I’ve also seen the barrel shoulder is quite small, so is a shoulder ring a necessity to change the muzzle device?
Any other upgrades worth looking into to make the gun reliable while suppressed?
Thanks in advance for the help.
I’m looking to replace my EOTech Vudu 1-10 with something more purpose-built for a semi-auto DMR role, and I’m torn between the Zero Compromise Optic 4-20x50 and the Nightforce ATACR 4-16x42 F1.
The Vudu has been good, but I’ve realized I’m no longer trying to keep this rifle in a “battle rifle / LPVO” role. This setup has evolved into a true precision-oriented tactical DMR, so I’d rather move to a dedicated optic instead of compromising around the 1x capability.
Host rifle is a SCAR 17 in .308, run suppressed with a SureFire SOCOM 762 Mini 2, with a KNS Discarder installed to soften the notoriously violent SCAR cycle.
The Nightforce specifically interests me because Nightforce literally positions the ATACR 4-16x42 as ideal for precision semi-auto rifles.
My priorities:
What I’m debating:
ATACR 4-16x42
Pros:
Cons:
ZCO 4-20x50
Pros:
Cons:
Question for people who’ve actually owned both:
If you were building a premium hard-use semi-auto DMR and replacing a Vudu 1-10, which would you choose and why?
Bonus question:
Is the ZCO genuinely worth the extra money outside of a competition role, or is the ATACR simply the smarter choice on a SCAR 17?
Picked up a used 16 and it had this rail extension on it. Can't find much info online. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks
If you’ve been like me you’ve been struggling to get OEM Scar 17 magazines for the past few months. I know myself and many others have been nervous about Wolfie’s Armory but hopefully this can be your opportunity to get magazines without feeding the scalpers. Will update when magazines arrive. (Repost for spelling error)
What's a fair price for a black KDG ACR stock? I have one in great condition. Gatewood has them for $850, but that doesn't seem reasonable for the used market. It will be on tacswap.
I’m tossing around the idea of selling my NRCH 17 and just curious as to what the market for these are nowadays. List if items include
Scar17s NRCH
g$ trigger
Sig tango 1-10
BCM pistol and fore grip
Magpul bipod
Rego sys smr13
Rego sys side rail deletes (I have OEM rails)
Deadair Scar 17 keymo flashhider (not attached)
11 magazines
<400 rounds shot through it
Rattle can job covers that woodland hydro dip that some of these come with
Looking tonputfit the 20s and 16s - give me your best attachments to make it functional and look badass, please. Disregard the ar..
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up here. I saw a post a few weeks ago for Scar 17 magazines for sale and bought a few from Wolfie's Armory. I'm in Virginia and with the upcoming magazine ban I wanted to load up while I still have the chance. After placing the order I never even got an email receipt, having to take a screenshot of the webpage. After emailing several times trying to get a status update on the order without a response I find yesterday that they have several magazines listed on gunbroker for almost $100 a piece. Please stay away from these guys if you can.
