Well
I just figured I'd come back here and let you guys know what has transpired over the last few months.
I contacted the company that made this aluminum lower for the civilian SCAR 17S
After chatting them up I found they had an extensive program to improve the Mk17..since they are local... I stopped by
the SR25 magazine patterned lower that MAGPUL was OEMing the 25 round 7.62 mags to and it is made of a different alloy harder than 7075 aluminum ...I watched them hang 275 lbs off of it
a new buttstock hinge .. they figured out why they were breaking
a new forerail assembly that didnt cause 2nd degree burns, passed the cookoff tests in spec sheet with flying colors, and it adds more rail space
they also are looking at making the gun into some sort of LMG as well
with all of this I figured the project lead at the J8 would be ecstatic
so I showed these guys how to submit to the SORDAC
of course not intrested... I guess we are going a new direction
but since I am a guard guy now... I guess we'll have SCARs until I retire...
