Unbelievable shooting with the SCAR-17S...what do I do with it?

[tuna quesadilla]

Cool. Did you pin the muzzle device or did you SBR it?

Technique,
I swear everytime a new thread comes up by you I get quite excited. And you have yet to fail me. Awesome post. And unbelievably awesome looking rifle.

I've been seeing a lot of guys liking their Mk17's more than the M-110.
Probly why the M-110 is up for revamp. Interested to see who gets that.

Could be why the MK 20 Mod 0 got the green light. Since, it's the "sniper" variant of the SCAR-H.
Has a different reciever, stock, barrel and trigger group than the Mk 17 Mod 0.

It's NFA in Idaho. Re: OP, what a nice problem to have. Got anything else in .308 besides bolt guns? Might influence your decision.

Thanks, but I asked the OP whether he pinned the muzzle device for a pseudo-SBR or went all the way and SBRed it.

Err good catch. Technique and his nice toys.

If it has been NFA'd in Idaho, I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the barrel extension. Seems like it just adds to the length, and if it isn't there to avoid the NFA tax, then why have it?

Goes back to the original question: why chop a barrel to 14.5" and then put an extension on it to 16"? Why not keep the extra 1.5" of barrel and get some use out of that length?

OK...

As you probably know the legal limit on barrel length to avoid going into NFA territory is 16".

People like to chop their barrels to 14.5" (NFA) for the weight savings, increase in maneuvering/pointability, and just plain cosmetics. But doing so requires you to go through some major hassles and pay a $200 tax, and often wait several months to get your paperwork approved.

People get around the NFA hassles by permanently welding/pinning their muzzle device in place after having the barrel chopped to 14.5". When the muzzle device is permanently affixed it is considered a part of the barrel. With a pinned muzzle device your 14.5" barrel is actually considered to be over 16" and therefore free from NFA regulations.

It was for maneuverability and length of package with stock folded.
A truck gun.

That isn't a fake can. It comes off too.

Are you referring to the real sound supressor? The OP already said that it was real, not a fake to make legal (non-NFA required) length.

Nice piece Tech. Always fun to see what you come up with.

Yeah, I missed that......

[Iggy]

That's good shooting out of a 14" barrel.

Oh, I see. I didn't realize that it was a registered assault weapon.

See my sig...

[H2O MAN]

Nice technique!

The 17s remains on my short list of rifles I want and I agree with the suggestions about adding an offset red dot, Aimpoint Micro or 3.5 MOA MRDS

What is the overall length with and without the can?


Of note:
Suppressors tend to tighten up groups and the KAC M-110 is not living up to expectations... as far as I can tell, it never has.

That is a really sweet weapon you have their buddy.

I used to wonder why people never read the thread if their going to comment. I think one of the problems is people checking threads on their phones and not turning off jump to the last post option that comes standard.

[pacrimguru]

A T1 on an offset mount would be tits...

hey tech, i have a KAC T-1 / 30mm Scope Offset Mount for sale.
