What does the A stand for... fully auto?

Correct, but this function is according to gun laws disabled, only semi is working.

I thought you could have machine guns in Germany. Or maybe I’m thinking of another country.

OK, I'm not exactly a neophyte with regards to military style civilian rifles but I got to ask a dumb question.

What makes a SCAR a SCAR? How is it different from and AR15 or AR10?

I figure safer on this forum to ask and get nice answers.

And I won't see the answers for a while. Boarding a 16 hour flight soon.

I just bought a .22LR Kriss Vector CRB. DROS begins tomorrow. I'm beyond excited.

No, for civil owners only semi is allowed, so buying a e.g. MG3 would make no sense, since it isn't allowed to be functional.

They're completely different platforms, but most notably your standard AR rifle uses a direct impingement gas system while the SCAR uses a short stroke piston system more similar to the AK variant rifles.

Something makes me think you aren't just a civilian...

My new Palmetto State Armory AR-15 5.56. I had the handguard cerakoted FDE.

Thanks. Do would the solid piston ARs be considered SCARs? I think Daniel Defense offers uppers that use that system,

I’d do a quick google search if I were you. Like I said before they’re completely different platforms. A piston driven AR is simply a piston driven AR, still not a SCAR. While their lower receivers look similar the upper receivers and nowhere near the same.

Parker Mountain Machine has rad stuff for SCARs

Yep, and it's supposedly hell on optics (though does allow the folding style rear stock!). The thought of breaking my ACOG worries me, but word is the optic will hold up. If not, I'm going ELCAN and not looking back.

I like the Eotech + magnifier combos, but boy does that setup add a lot of weight. I've also never liked the eye relief on the eo+mag combo. I feel like I need to get about an inch away from the sight to be able to get a clear picture, but I'm sure others have better success with the setup.

Have the setup on my .308 Tavor and the entire package feels twice as heavy as my 17 with the ACOG/RMR. This gun will likely be sold before too long as it's just been sitting since I've had the 17.

I’ve heard any duty grade optic/mount will hold up fine. Supposedly the recoil impulse send all the energy up towards the rail instead of back at the shooter, hence the soft shooting 308. I threw a trijicon 1-4x24 in an ADM cantilever made specifically for the scar 17, so we’ll see if it holds up. Can’t go wrong with an Elcan though.

I actually got my husband the Elcan for Christmas. Can't wait to sight it in. 😁 Just waiting on bipod, vertical grip and grip. I know he wants to change out the trigger but I convinced him to shoot it first just to be sure. I don't know about y'all but the FDE coloring drives me nuts. 🥴

The Tavor is super sexy
But I can't complain about lots of additional weight just by adding EO tec and magnifier onto my L, and I suppose the same for the H.
On the flipside a bullpup gun has a different center of gravity and you maybe change it significantly by adding the optics. Had you considered an ACOG or a 4x optic with a small Doctors sight on top?

That’s funny, the first thing my wife said when I brought home the SCAR, “Why is it so many different shades of tan”.

[chetrickerman]

There are too many badass guns out now, lol. This thing feels super nice. To me it feels like a modern lighter MP5.
