SCAR rifle with SOC yet?

[Danger Close]

I was wondering if any of you have heard any further developments on the SCAR rifle that is supposed to be getting tested by SOC.

Here is some background info and some awesome pics! Enjoy

most likely to be dropped....there is still hope for it though.

That would be a D**n shame. That is one sweet shooter!

Yes a great rifle. It is serving me well in my mission to save the president in Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, which by the way is a great game!

For some reason, I dont really like it ........maybe it needs to grow on me a bit more, not that it matters or anything.

x2. Also, the vertical grip looks a little odd to me. I'd rather see something more "conventional" like this instead.




Aside from that, it seems to be a pretty nice rifle.

Not a Crane stock, but a Vltor.

Does anyone know if this is actually a picture of a SCAR (IE the pic with the Vltor)? It looks completely different from the other images. In fact it looks alot like a modified M16/M4 receiver to me, plus it seems to have the M4 buffer tube to be able to take the Vltor...

Also, that forward vertical grip (the big bulky one) is the combination grip/bipod. It has two legs that extend fromt he bottom of the grip in an inverted v-shape to function as a bipod.

Blarney....Tell me where you heard this from? SCAR is still alive and kicking and it is going into its second phase with an additional order of 200 units.

Neither Crane nor Vltor will fit the SCAR, they were designed for the M16 system.

the Vertical grip pictured you seen the most are Gripod, they are a bi-pod/vert grip combo. this grip is not part of the package, at least not yet. Tangodown is suppose to get an order for the vert grip for the next 200 rifles.


Don;t knock it till you try it. byu just looking at a gun on web page does not tell you anything. SCAR is probably the best thing since slice bread to the real war fighters. as long as the committee don't bulk it up like they did with the MK23 pistol.

the SCAR will not be droped...and actually will be available to civilians in the US in about a year....also 5th pic with the vltor stockis NOT the SCAR rifle...it was COBB manufacturers candidate for the SCAR program...completely different rifle

Fired one at some point. Comparable ergonomics to that of the M4 (M4 still is better), more rubust, seems like it at least. Not as managable (slightly) in full auto as compared to the M4. The best part is the 7.62 round in that compact of a package/ ability to go bang-bang (moreso than the M4 or for that matter the AK/POS (AK aint all that reliable due to cheap manufacture and those godda** pins that seem to creep out and suddenly... smash, click- your triger assembly is one with the buttstock)/ and ergonomics.

There are AK's and AK's Robert, I'm sure you know that
How was the heat-up with SCAR? You fired both L and H versions? Any stopages?

[yiorgo]

fired one at some point??(can you elaborate more on this please)....not as controllable as an M4??(the SCAR L AND H ) both rifles have a 600 round per minute cycle rate....MUCH EASIER TO CONTROL than the M4s 900 round per minute cycle rate......these rifles and I quote from people who have tested them are ABSOLUTELY stable in full auto.....ergonomics and control are far superior to the M4
