    SBRING A FN SCAR 16?

    How many people here have SBR a FN SCAR 16 ? How bad does the upper receiver look after you get it engraved with personal info?

    I don't have one (yet), but engraving isn't really noticeable IMO.

    With the SCARs, engraving the barrel might be an attractive option, so you can throw the original back on and retain the value of the rifle if you need or want to sell it.

    I used a hand engraver from harbor freight, you can see it on the bottom edge of the upper receiver above the selector.

    Depends on how bad the engraver was

    I just hit my engraving with some rattle can and it blends well

    Check out Grey Laser out of Texas. I believe they can engrave SCAR uppers. I've used them a couple of times for AR engraving and they are amazingly fast.

    If I were to SBR a SCAR, I'd have the barrel done. It's not like an MRP where you have a lot of different barrel and caliber options or an AR where you can drop a bunch of uppers on it. With the cost of SCAR barrels, I imagine people either have a 16/10.5 or simply the 10.5.

    If/when more calibers and lengths become available, then it might be more reasonable to do the receiver.

    I think the guys at HDD can do it but I've read hit or miss things over the years.
