Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of this FN SCAR 17 build?

This FN SCAR 17 build features an extended rail and charging handle from Kinetic Development Group (KDG), a HOGUE Defense stock, a Primary Arms PLX 1-8x LPVO with a KDG side-lock mount, a Rearden Manufacturing SPB muzzle device, and a Rex Silentium MG7 suppressor. KDG also collaborated with Amen2 on polymer SCAR magazines.

How does the KDG side-lock mount perform on the SCAR 17?

The KDG side-lock mount for optics is highly regarded for its ability to maintain zero even after repeated removal and reinstallation. This makes it ideal for users who need to quickly detach and reattach their optics without needing to re-zero the rifle.

What are the performance expectations for this SCAR 17 build?

With its current configuration, including a suppressor and bipod, this SCAR 17 build is expected to consistently hit targets out to 500 yards. The rifle is well-suited for Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) or Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) roles.

Are there any potential issues with accessories on the SCAR 17?

Yes, the Surefire Scout light's UE tail cap experienced issues with the plug coming loose due to the SCAR 17's recoil. This suggests that users might need to consider alternative tail caps or securing methods like tape for more reliable attachment.
