I know they had their reasons but...why a Freedom Group company??
Yeah, when I saw it at Shot Show that first year, it was like the "Jesus Rifle", but when they finally got it into production with Freedom Group of all places and the less than OMG It's Perfect...reviews of the FN SCAR started popping up, I got over the new plastic wonder rifle in general.
As most people have noted, we haven't dramatically improved beyond what the M4 does to justify twice the price and a lot of other factors. If I'm gonna spend big money, I'll be getting a Knights not a ACR or SCAR.
Despite rails and ambi everything, I still see AR-18s and FNCs in plastic frames. Even HK didn't manage to revolutionize the world with the XM-8/G36. Not sure who could have built the Magpul Masada without hosing it bad.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
