FN SCAR to be sold to Civilians - Press Release

[utak]

Linky here at http://www.fnhusa.com/le/press/detail.asp?id=43

As mentioned above, FN will be selling 5.56mm and 7.62mm variants of the SCAR rifle starting next year. Just in time for them to get banned

Any Been There Done Thats (Zissou?) can add their 2 cents on this?

 

[NozeMan]

I wonder what the sticker price on that toy is!

 

[mmx1]

Rumor had it at $2.6k. I think the hype factor is going to outweigh its functionality for a while.

 

[A4sForever]

I'm all "hyped up" ... so put me DOWN for one in 5.56X45mm.

Just because ...

Is there a tangible benefit to this firearm as opposed to the AR-15?

Yes ... it's different ... and it goes "bang".

im reading it might go for around 2-2.5k- kind of alot of money for a rifle- good conversation starter at the range i guess though

 

[LazersGoPEWPEW]

Maybe I'll make this my first rifle purchase.

I can't wait to hear what Zissou has to say. :icon_wink

After said rant I'll throw the Masada in the mix for his comments as well since we are talking about vaporware (in an assault rifle kinda way)

 

[A4sForever]

Speaking of SCAR's & such ... have any of you tried one of these??? I'm thinkin' about going this route just to see how it "works" ...:

AR-15/M16 DROP-IN GAS PISTON CONVERSION KIT

 

[ArkhamAsylum]

Well, the SCAR is about the best weapon in Ghost Recon 2 and Crysis, so it must be pretty awesome!

Did some asking around, MSRP for this thing is $2,696. Very expensive, pretty much the same price as the Barret Rec-7 that Zissou was saying good things about.

I'm kinda wondering what you guys think about the tan color. If anything, you won't have the gun haters running around pointing fingers and screaming "EVIL BLACK RIFLE!!!!" at the top of their lungs.

[Gatordev]

Why do I get the feeling that this weapon will become the BMW M3 of the rifle range.
