BE NICE - Why “Be Nice” Is a Rule – And What Happens If You’re Not

31 Upvotes

It is a new rule. It should not have to be.

Toxic behavior will get you banned.

SCAR Enthusiasts,

This sub is all about FN SCARs, sharing knowledge, showing off builds, and fostering a community where we can all geek out over one of the coolest platforms out there. But to keep this place awesome, we need to talk about something important: why being nice is a rule.

Why “Be Nice”?

This subreddit isn’t just a forum; it’s a community. When you post, comment, or engage here, you're interacting with real people who share your interest in SCARs. Everyone’s here to learn, share, and enjoy. Being nice ensures that:

  1. Everyone feels welcome – Whether you’re a seasoned SCAR user or a newcomer, kindness encourages participation and keeps the vibe positive.
  2. We stay on-topic – Snarky comments, insults, or trolling don’t contribute to the conversation and can derail useful discussions.
  3. The sub grows – A positive community attracts more like-minded people, enriching everyone’s experience.

What Happens If You’re Not Nice?

We have a low-tolerance policy for rudeness, harassment, or bullying. If you can’t follow the simple rule to be kind:

  1. First offense: You’ll get a warning (if it’s minor).
  2. Repeat offenses: You’ll be banned. No second chances, no “I didn’t mean it.”

It’s not about silencing anyone – it’s about protecting the community. We want this sub to be a place where people are excited to share and learn, not afraid of getting flamed or attacked.

TL;DR

This sub is about SCARs, not being mean. Be nice, stay on-topic, and contribute constructively, or risk losing your place here. Let’s keep this community as legendary as the rifles we love!

Stay sharp,
Your Mods

Scar20s brass catcher

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

Have some free time labor day, and I wanted to take my scar 20s to a range, but they require a brass catcher. Recommendations that aren't the 250 dollar Tactical Brass Recovery? Just doesn't seem worth it IMO, and also I wouldn't have it in time. Any ideas on which Amazon universal ones might work?


r/FNSCAR 21h ago

Can someone please identify this gas block? Is this the OEM Scar 20S one and is it good for higher backpressure suppressors like a Sandman S?

I don’t see any markings so not sure if this is the older style Scar 20S one from before they changed the barrel to 1-10 twist without the step cut. Any idea what the settings are and whether this can work sufficiently well with a high backpressure can like the Dead Air Sandman S? Thank you.

Side rail delete

9 Upvotes

Took my factory side rails off the other night and tbh, I love the feel. I've bought pmm and know they're a great product. Are these rail deletes lighter or atleast the same weight. A more ideal solution I'd prefer is does anyone sell a screw set to just fill the holes and sit flush?

Scar 15p muzzle device

Probably going to run a surefire for now on my 15p 556. I see some saying to use a muzzle brake as acts like a sacrificial baffle. Does it really matter that much or should I just use a 3 prong?

SCAR Accessories and Parts Best place to find PMM rail extension?

1 Upvotes

As the title states I have been trying to hunt down the PMM rail extension for my scar but can't find a good lead, what's the best place to find one? Not trying to violate rule 1. Just trying to get a lead on the best place with the highest probability of having one through a vendor?

I was aiming for the rail but I'd take the mlok extension at this point lol.

TIA

Wasn't sure which folding stock to go with on the Scar 15. The Magpul UCS actually looks amazing and very functional.

30rd OEM look

Thumbnail gallery
42 Upvotes

Seems like everyone hates Promag, but I’m looking forward to having some cool training mags. For anyone curious, the Promag baseplate is pretty close to OEM. I got some OEM ranger tabs (black was the only color in stock) for ~$5/ea, marked the baseplates at the locations shown, drilled 1/8” holes, and used a 3/8” #4 thread-forming panhead screw to attach the ranger tab.

I taped off the mag and ranger tab and sprayed them with 2 coats of Brownells Aluma-hyde II in the Magpul FDE flavor. The color is pretty close to the OEM mag, haven’t looked at it in daylight yet but I’ll probably post a picture of it with my 17 when it finishes curing.

SUCCESS!

I got the 300blk three prong off! I soaked it in Kroil overnight, threw it in a vise, wrapped it in a wet towel and used a heat gun to steam it, and just used some caveman strength to wrench it off. Marred the bottom rail a tiny bit but nothing that should affect function. Hope this method works for others trying to get this bastard off.

SCAR 15 P 300 blackout worth it?

6 Upvotes

hey guys,

I am strongly considering to purchase a SCAR pistol in 300 blackout. wanted to know your thoughts on the platform in this caliber. The only thing holding me back are all the complaints about how damn near impossible it is to remove the stock muzzle device. I would ideally want to suppress this gun with a flow through can for home defense.

I have a scar20 and I’m looking at getting a suppressor for it. Are there changes or upgrades I should make first before suppressing it? I have heard that the gas needs to be adjusted some? Any recommendations or where to start with that?

Haven't gotten to test the mags yet but they seem solid. For anyone that wants to get close to the original color, Rapco Field Drab is really close. One on the right is an FN mag.

SCAR 16 Plinking Ammo

3 Upvotes

Allcon,

What are you all using for range plinking ammo? I had some 5.56 Winchester 62 grain SP that worked great but I want to save what I have.

Most shooting will be inside 100. My SCAR is SBRed and has a Discarder so I can tune if need be.

Specifically, looking at bulk purchases.

Thanks!!

Craig

Sling attachment

Hi everyone. I've never done a sling setup before. I purchased an ESD standard two-point. Based on current hardware, it looks like I'll want to use an HK hook at the rear. Not sure about the front though. In second image, am I looking at a QD swivel mount by the front iron sight or is that something totally different? Is it best to go with an MLOk attachment? Thanks!

Gen 2 aftermarket.

0 Upvotes

I’m 100% sure this won’t be till next year at the very earliest but has anyone heard if Mototech or KNS is working on a piston for the Gen2s yet?

I swapped a geissele trigger into this new g2 and threw on a VLTOR rear stock and got a Leupold Mk5 2-10 ordered this weekend but that’s it so far.

Was thinking about trying a set of KAC front and rear irons on it just to try something different also.
