Great info in this thread. Thanks for your service and for sharing.
Just wondering - were you guys issued both the 5.56 SU-230/PVS AND the 7.62 SU-230A/PVS? Or did they just give you one or the other and had you make do?
Any updates? Is the 17 still holding up fine?
Great thread by the way.
Wonder if the Mk20 is being fielded?
Wasnt it suppose to start this month?

No after market goody will keep a bolt from breaking, however proper maintenace and inspection of parts will. You shoot a butt-load of ammo thru any weapon systems for years and parts will break!
Be a it a Colt, H&K, FN SCAR or whatever is the latest and greatest wonder rifle to marketed. All equipment wears out and breaks.
This seems like a good place to post this link!

It's a short article and some pics of the SCAR is use in Afghanistan.
Yeah they're still shooting great. We had one guy bring his instead of an M-110 for a sniper POI and it shot pretty good, he passed the course and whatnot. Toting a 110 around really made me appreciate the light weight of the Mk17.

The SCAR-17S is on my very short list of 2012 gun purchases, thanks in no small part to this thread.
