A short barreled SCAR just makes SO much sense to me

On another note, damn all of you guys! You assholes are tempting me to go out and buy a SCAR for myself, so stop with all the awesome pics already! Jerks

It would be ideal if factory short barrels would become available however I do not believe it will happen. Therefore I plan on sending my barrel to a reputable source to have cut, crowned and threaded to the 10" CQC length.

P.S. (not directed at Paul) - Please refrain from the "you'll lose your accuracy" comments as I am fully aware of the risks and willing to accept them although I believe that it will be fine.

Yep, I saw that. My XPS is on a riser too. I ripped my thumb open against the lower edge of XPS anyway.

I can't see how one can mount an Eo on this rifle and not have interference, unless one takes extreme care of how to grip the handle, or mounts XPS on the rail all the way back.

I can't run irons up even with lower 1/3. With my tallest set-up - AP M4s on tall LaRue - the dot is squarely on the top part of FS hood.

SCAR absolutely, positively has to be run through a formal training/class to be sorted out ergonomically. It's just too different from AR.

I've played with the XPS's location as well, I have mine back to where the number 5 still shows on the rail and it works well for me. I know it's better to have it mounted much more forward but, just not happening on the scar. I also am not running a risor because I like my irons co-witnessed.
