I have grown to be a big fan of FN (4 FN products now) but no 5.7 stuff for me yet.

The FSN comes in a nice box, and the fixed sight units come in an even nicer box. the FNP series come in nice boxes. Yet the PS90 and FS2000 come in cardboard boxes with shittacular white stryrofoam that gets all over everything. I've expressed my opinion with them, that when customers are wanting to shell out $1000+ for guns, it would be nice for them to come in useful containers..

The SCAR was surprisingly clean after 500 rounds. Compared to one of the ARs with the same use.

It is also very easy to break down and clean.

Are these groups with iron sights??? If so, good on you! I don't think I could ever do that ... my eyes don't see that far!

Using an Aimpoint here. I do cowitness the irons and the Aimpoint, but I didn't group with the irons. I will group with the irons next time out.

Using the Aimpoint is different than the irons, but it doesn't help with the vision part.

Put a sling on the SCAR and did some practical shooting. Ran another 500 rounds (for a total of 1000) through it. Zero malfunctions of any sort so far. I did reach for the charging handle on the back twice (where it would be on the AR)

The SCAR weighs about the same as my AR that I run regularly, but feels much lighter. It feels like it's lighter up front. I wondered if this caused any difference in muzzle jump vs the AR so I tried to test the difference. Both are 16" barrels with a Vortex flash hider. I tried to feel the difference, but they felt the same - I timed myself a few times, but seemed to run about the same time. I also set each of them on a rest and watched as I fired a round, but could not see a real difference.

I'll try to do a little better test to see if I can find any difference in muzzle jump.

I really like the SCAR. No problems so far.

I'm not much of a rifle guy but this one may change that. Until I saw the price that is. Maybe a GSG-5 then...

Does anyone know if this true?
