SCAR SBR factory barrels and ACR SBR factory barrels and caliber conversions coming

[padkeemow]

Neat, new stuff for the SCAR. How about a new buttstock design?

VLT0R has one in the works. Via their Facebook page:

Yeah I saw that picture the other day somewhere and I am liking the rail, but didn't even notice the buttstock. I wonder if it will be stronger than the flimsy one they have now.

Something I never understood about the SCAR is that for a "flimsy" (for lack of a better word) buttstock, why is it so large and thick? Can't something be made that is slimmer or thinner but still has those functions? I'm glad something else is coming out but that VLTOR stock still looks pretty large.

".223 barrels in 1/7 twist.": why did they wait so long??

".223 barrels in 1/7 twist" I believe we will find out that the associate in question misspoke and that the barrels are in fact 5.56.

You thought an ACR barrel would be the same price as an AR barrel? What about the more complicated gas block, piston, piston guide, and QD barrel nut that come on the ACR barrel?

Your point is taken about the GP parts. However that price still seems really high.

Now if only we could get a 10" .300 blkout barrel for the SCAR...

I don't know about the stock, but I kind of like the handguard.

HiDesertdog has a .300 Blackout SCAR in the works, but it's the whole rifle, and a 16" barrel. They said that it's not possible with the SCAR to just do a drop-in barrel replacement because the bolt carrier's weight has to be tuned in order to cycle reliably with .300 Blackout.

More info in this thread.

Make that 10" and I might not be able to resist.
