Anyone own a FN SCAR?
« on: December 08, 2013, 09:13:25 AM »
Wondering if there's any must have accessories. Yeah, I'm Christmas shopping. Stepdad just bought one and I figured we'd get him some sort of accessory he can't live without. Bipod? Vertical fore grip with flashlight attachment?
Anybody?

I think a foregrip/bipod would be useful

This bipod mount is pretty slick     https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4122

This handstop is getting very good reviews  https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4115

This fwd grip is beautifully made  https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4114

If he's running a micro this mount is one of the lightest around.  https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=3556

The Magpul selector switch upgrade is cool.   http://www.midwayusa.com/product/598863/magpul-ssg-ambidextrous-safety-selector-fn-scar-16s-matte

 :yeah:

This is a great set up for the price.  I bought from this exact set up from this link and could not be happier.  The light and mount are amazing.

No, Never owned a SCAR.  FN makes good stuff.  I have 3 FN pistols myself, and love them.  But guys I know that got a SCAR couldn't get rid of it fast enough.  Don't know why, but they said they didn't like it....  :dunno:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
