Re: SCAR Thread

YAY mines fixed!

I got lucky for once. They changed the fuse when i was in the shop and it blew again. After 2 weeks of sitting waiting to be looked at they changed it again and it works fine!!

Strange. Ho hum a free fix! Pic in a mo of it with new grippod

Re: SCAR Thread

FN currently has the SCAR in the US Army's future carbine trial with a fixed stock in place of the folding one, so hopefully we'll see that soon

Re: SCAR Thread

I've always thought that! The stocks are dredful in my eyes.. I dont think the recoil versions are interchangeable though! I know there is an adapter floating around the the AEG to convert it to an M4 stock tube and stock. Though to be totally honest, now I think about it I dont see why they couldn't be made to fit.. the recoil engine doesn't go in the stock anyway so I guess there is a way it could work! Would probably be hard though!

Re: SCAR Thread

Im half tempted to go out and buy a SCAR H. Im looking into the Marui Recoil version. Anyone know about interchangeable stocks? Because thats the only thing i don't like about them.

Re: SCAR Thread

Fair enough mate, makes sense. I always take the opportunity if I can, I see it like this, if I can manage to fix it I will have a better understanding of the internals for future problems saving me repair fees in the long run.. or I can fix it but I still know how to take it apart and understand the internals a little ready for next time something simple goes wrong.. yes I get a bigger repair bill this time but I run the chances of next time being able to fix it myself!

Good luck to you anyways dude, I'm glad you didn't take offence!

Re: SCAR Thread

Prob not as i tried to fix my M4 and that did not go well. The amount i have spent on it i want it fixed properly and not me bodging it.

I took no offence to your comments.

Re: SCAR Thread

something new =)

Re: SCAR Thread

Then I do apologise, I understand how disappointing it is... Though would it not be a good idea to take the opportunity and try to open it up/fix it yourself? You already have to send it off to be repaired.. so either you manage to fix it yourself or you have to send it off just as you were going to anyway...

Re: SCAR Thread

To be honest i have a slight sense of humor failure over it at the moment. £500 and used it once....now will get large repair bill. Cant see a funny side to that.

Re: SCAR Thread

Fair enough. I just dropped mine and broke it! Somehow the gearbox has seized.

Re: SCAR Thread

To be honest, I'm the same, I only took the plunge on this one cause it's a backup gun, I'd never do that to my L119 or L85. I think it makes it look alot more real though, and ties together the different shades of tan. It's a Star version, so not anywhere near the top of the line anymore, especially compared to some of the SCARs on here, pretty solid performer though, easy takedown and quick spring change, and I have DMR, Standard and CQC interchangeable barrels for it so it is ridiculously flexible.

Re: SCAR Thread

Looks great mate. Would love to paint one of my guns i a similar way but just cant bring myself to do it.

I prob wait until they are battered up abit and then it wont matter so much if i screw it up.

Re: SCAR Thread

I tend to do Brit forces weapons, both SF and regular, although I have had an old SCAR-L kicking about a while as a backup/lending gun, bought on a whim when I began to use the gun in CoD. Having got it I never got on with it, since it didn't seem real enough, always seemed like a sci-fi weapon despite its use. So a few weeks back I had a trawl through some reference pics and decided to set it up as a USSF weapon and try and make it look and feel real.


Here's my attempt, although I am sure it is alittle rough about the edges in terms of accuracy - still seeing it as a WIP. Hopefully though the weathering and use of some older style mags/rail covers helps it look abit more authentic and battle ready.
