One other thing, I think a 1:10 twist barrel is what was meant rather than 1:8. Who makes a 7.62 nato barrel in 1:8 twist? Not just for a scar, but for any 7.62 nato rifle?
I would love to see FN update the SCAR and provide more options and parts such as 1:10 twist barrels with larger shoulders for muzzle devices meant for suppressed use, a sturdier stock, etc.
