*WOW*
I can't believe the lower is $48, I wish i had a 17 to take an extra lower to a mill

Has anyone found a source for these $48 lowers?

However...

... still a no go on barrels and you can't order anything to do with the bolt. No extractor, bolt, springs, etc.

I did, thanks. Wow, that makes this very interesting.

No problem. For anyone that's interested, contact the FN's Parts Dept @ 800-635-1321. The 16 schematic matches up with their info (part numbers on the left side, prices, etc). I don't know what the 17 is though. They could walk you through if you have the correct nomenclature (via the 16 paper).

Arrived today (that was quick shipping!)

pretty awesome FN is offering them at a decent price rather than charging exorbitant am mounts because they are proprietary.

Maybe now a shop will be able to offer some work...

It's his rifle so I wont say anything...

fire control group is pretty pricey, unless you plan to pull the parts off the original lower

I mentioned a while ago, it would be cool if Magpul made a SCAR 17 lower that accepts Pmags. I can't see them doing something like that unless it was going to be profitable. Those pictures are painful to look at.

problem is you cant find the mags anywhere, and if you do find them, they surely wont be $40
