"higher maintenance"? It will give you something to do while you're hunkered in your bunker.



eta: Relative to the SCAR...I think one of the best discourses on the platform can be found here:

SCAR vs AR; A detailed look... - M4Carbine.net Forums

The detriments of DI, i feel are high maintenance to maintain reliability, and life of parts.

Thank you for the link, that is exactly what I was looking for. If only this guy did an ar10/scar17 comparison. If I went Scar, i would go 7.62 because i know for sure that this 17 isn't going anywhere since the navy had fn cancel the 16 and make 17s.

But overall thanks, this comparison is exactly why i came to this thread. looking for something that google doesn't seem to want to help me with.
