I think the lack of response shows how popular they are. If you're going to shell out £300+ I am sure lots of people will say good things about the tm recoil versions and there a quite a few for sale second hand at the moment so that might be a better option for you.

I had a WE scar L GBB that I ran on a hpa mag. Was actually really good, the range and accuracy on HPA was awesome. Didn't really suit my play style though

Hello mate, i have also posted this topic on another forum and have had quite a few replies too and none have been bad to be honest, but i posted it here too so i could hopefully get as my thoughts and opinions as possible really.
Grateful for any replies.

Hello. thanks for the reply guys, yeah from what i have been hearing they are quite good, they do have some issues but nothing major from what i have been hearing.. the reason i was going to go for the WE gbb version was for realism really, not a big fan of AEG'S even the recoil versions, dont get me wrong i know they are good they are just not to my liking, (or the £500+ price tag, thats nearly as much as my new shotgun is going to cost lol)
I shoot a lot of RS guns so realism is quite a thing for me, ill not be skirmishing with the WE scar i will just be taking it to gun club for some fun fast action shooting..

Fast action!?! You're lucky if your local club allows you to use full auto GBBR's (presumably) on the Airgun range - mine certainly won't (full auto or rapid semi), though I do agree, after a spot of clay shooting I very occasionally take my WE GBB's with me and use them on the site's Airgun range.

Hello, yeah the firearms club I'm a member of also has airgun and airsoft gun rooms/ranges, as long as we are wearing our safety glasses we can do fast action shooting with airsoft guns no problem.. (as you know no full auto airguns are allowed in the UK) my local club has different rooms/ranges for different types of guns and shooting..
I also hear a few purely airgun clubs are banning steel BBs to, so people can only shoot pellets or lead BB's, luckily that is not one of the rules at my local gun club..
Yeah can't beat a bit of clay shooting, I must admit I'm leaning more towards buying a shotgun as I do rely have enough airguns and airsoft guns really but after holding a scar I was really tempted lol.
Happy shooting

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

I had a V3 closed bolt scar and upgraded it with an open bolt kit when they were
First released, the range was only ever average at best despite what ever I would do to try and improve it
It suffered from cooldown a lot more then any other GBBR I used, but my god when it worked it was good!
It was by far the best looking and most realistic GBBR, parts are a piece of piss to get hold of and still wish I had my one now! I foolishly traded it for a Tavor which I regretted instantly! I found with the various WE guns I used and owned over the years that if you stick with original WE parts that they worked best, don't bother wasting money on so called "upgrade parts" especially from the likes of RAtech who are way overrated and produce nothing but poor quality rubbish!
If I was going for another scar I'd still go for an L version but try get a V4 open bolt from factory version.

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

I've got a black scar H and I love it. There are a few things to watch for, but none have happened to me, like the mag feed lips. It was a pain in the arse to find the H in stock anywhere so that might be why there isn't much on the internet about them. All WE GBBR's have a new (awful) barrel and bucking design, but you can swap them out for the VSR type. As for realism.. apart from the lack of trades, I challenge you to find me a more realistic gun. It's got a nice recoil and can be stripped down in less than 10 seconds for cleaning. The reservoir in the H mag is huge too, so there's no issue of not finishing a mag. I could get about 3-3.5 mags worth out of a single charge.

Don't bother with RA tech and don't get an Npas. Get the restrictor discs if you need to. No adjustability, but very consistent.

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

HI guys thanks for your helpful replies you have kind of said what others have on other forums too, which is always good to see..
I have decided to save up and buy one, and I'm going to go for the scar H, I prefer the look of the magazine style and the fact it holds more gas and has less cooldown then the scar l, I will also you what you and others have suggested, Apart from the hop and maybe the barrel the gun will stay standard with no other upgrades I'll replace what breaks with original parts too.
Thanks again for your help and opinions

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

In my opinion you're making a great choice, especially since you don't intend to skirmish it. I bought my Scar on here used. I set about building it as a DMR using the level 1 to 3 system using RA-Tech and Angry Gun upgrades. I won't bore you with the full list of upgrades but I now have the gun built to the level 3 set up with additional Angry Gun upgrades. Using Power Up gas and .28's it'll shoot 420fps and the recoil upgrades produces more recoil than a .22 LR. The heavy bolt and Ally Nozzle (tweaked a bit) deliver the recoil in a more realistic fashion. I've got a few GBBR's and my Scar-L is my go to gun if I'm target shooting indoors or outdoors. I think you'll be glad you made the choice. Easy to upgrade and you can do a lot of that work yourself if you've got the skills. The tweeting of the Flute Valve in the alloy Nozzle is not a job for the novice. Anyway, Good choice!! You'll love it

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

Just to add, the range on the scar h with a maple leaf 70degree bucking, omega nub and 6.02 barrel is HUGE. Mine's set as a dmr (auto sear bar removed) and it made a brilliant counter sniper. I don't recall a single instance where I felt out ranged. In fact, a lot of times I was stood in the open (woodland) because the enemy AEGs where falling 20 ft short.

Hello mate, thats awesome reading stuff like this is always good, really does sound like your loving the scar.
Im really looking forward to getting mine, well thats if the new FPS full auto rule dont prevent me from getting it..

W0lf, would you mind posting some info and pictures on how you removed the full auto sear, this might be a must if/when the new silly GBB full auto rule comes out..

Will do when I get home in a couple of hours.

Re: What are your 1st hand experiences with the WE Scar L&H

This shitty website won't let me upload anything from my phone (and what's with that smart banner bullshit that gives me a blank page??)

Basically, you want to push out the reciever pin (it retains so you won't loose it). Push the lower towards the front of the gun and it we come free. Be mindful of the bolt release assembly, which can fall out as you're handling the lower.

With the lower out you can see the trigger group. There's an auto sear bar, which is a black bit of metal that's about 50mm by 5mm. It is held in place by 2 bright silver blocks. (Everything else but the blocks are black so it's easily located). If you have any doubt, use the selector and move from safe to full and you should see it moving. You want to take that out. They are actually a weak point of the scar, so if you're lucky it will snap of its own accord and it makes itself semi auto lol

It's not the proper way of doing it. To do it properly, you would need to take out the actual auto sear and fill down the selector, but it's a little more involved. The way I have it, you get safe, semi, single shot then a dead trigger for the sake of proving it's only capable of semi auto fire. I'll try again later to upload some pics and do a full guide. Maybe my computer will have better luck.
