FN SCAR 16s (aka the Wife's gonna leave me)

[Guest JHatmaker]

Well, I caved in, and decided to get while the gettin' was good. Been wanting one of these for a while . I know some folks like em and some folks, but I think it's a great gun.

It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, but still feels solid. I like the adjustable cheek piece, didn't think it would help but the placement is just right when I look through the EoTech. Can't wait to take it to the range, I'll definately be trying it out ASAP and compare it with the FS2000 and AR's I've shot. Also definately going to SBR this thing; it was mean to be done on this platform...

Thanks again to Daniel (Metalhead) at Guns and Leather for giving me a heads up. Here's some close up shots of the BUIS, stock, charging handle, etc.

Ooh sooo sweet. Don't like the butt stock but if you plan on going SBR.....that'll be one sexy master blaster!!

Dude... I hate you.

I have yet to lay my hands on one, but I've heard that (like you said), they aren't heavy as they look, and also that they are slimmer and handle a lot better than they look.

Nice score, JHat!

ETA: Anyone in the know know the reason they serialized the upper instead of the lower?

[Jasongar8]

Great score! Good luck with the wife.

What size is that boot? Nice rifle, good luck with the wife.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Thanks fellas!

The wife can't tell the difference when they're black, but tan's kinda hard to hide...

Tell me about it

[Metalhead]

Been using the SCAR in MW2 tonight in your honor, sir!

Let us know how it shoots, been curiours how it compares to a AR platforum rifle.

[Guest JHatmaker]

god dammit. I want to shoot. man. I hate you. Have you told your wife yet?

What are you doing Saturday? Probably go down to Owl Hollow.

Yeah, she wasn't too happy. Told her it was a collectors item and would only go up in value Couple more days and she'll get over it. I'm a good husband, don't do drugs (anymore ), and let her buy baby clothes for a girl we don't have but she's dying to have one day....so

+1 To Daniel (Metalhead) for not trying to charge some crazy ass price like alot of other ones Ive seen. Anywhere from $3500-$5000+.

Absolutely, stand up guys there, all of them. Daniel knew I'd been wanting one and hooked me up big time.

Another gun shop locally had two 16s in a couple months ago, and were asking $5999, and sold both

[Magiccarpetrides]

Awesome looking gun...is that front flash suppressor the factory one?

[Kevo]

WOW! I love the boot solid folding stock. That is one bad mother shutyomouth! Congratulations!

[Capbyrd]

THat is sexy! I think I might have to buy one of these. A buddy of mine carried a SCAR heavy on his last deployment and said it was a nice rifle. I definitely need to check these things out.

[Semiauto]

Very nice! I bet it shoots great. If you don't mid me asking, how much did it set you back? The prices seem to be falling with the adequate supply. There is one on Sturm for $2500. Enjoy it!

[TGO David]

Hey... cool! Let me know when you decide to liquidate this one to pay for something else and I may snag it from you. I may have to convince Joe to start producing Hero HK91 Clones to expedite the process.

[BimmerFreak]

Congrats Hat!

That'd be so money it wouldn't even now how money it is.

Yeah, looks pretty stout.

[Guest mustangdave]

JHat....you are...in the words of Daffy Duck, "you're...dissss piccccc able!!!" I am so JONESIN" for that rifle...LOL its...HAWWWWWT

[Magiccarpetrides]

Any word on when the 308 model is coming out?

Berrrrry nice, The way i deal with my wife when i bring a new gun in is tell her it was at a friend's house and i took it back from him, that works if you are newly wed (whithin acouple of years, they smart up afterwards) may i ask how much was the damage?
