Big thanks to ZCarMan for telling me about the Gen2 Sub 2000 over lunch today. I was very close to buying a Gen 1, but now I'm going to wait.

If they ban the AR or 5.56 rounds I will LOL hard! My brother just bought one several months ago. After using the M4 for several years and the M249, I purchased the SCAR 17 for the .308 round used. Really is a nice rifle that I combo up with a FNX-45. I am thinking about buying the short barrel for the SCAR and putting a can on it. Not sure if I want to hassle with ATF for 6+ months waiting to get approval to get it.

Who's banning 5.56 rounds? The brouhaha was only over the possibility of ATF banning M855 (armor piercing) from civilian sales, and within two days of going viral the ATF issued a statement that that info was incorrect and due to a "publishing error". The concern that bolstered the rumor is that, since people are making AR15-based pistols more often now, it violates the law concerning use of "armor piercing" ammo in pistols (will penetrate body armor).

If they ban a given firearm by rifle, they aren't going to ban just AR15s and variants...they'll ban by category (based on feature set) and the SCAR17 will be part of the ban. Caliber isn't part of the criteria that governments use for defining "assault rifles".

In the meantime, there is still no problem, or even rumored problem, with XM193 ball ammo in 5.56, nor with any of the loadings in .223.

Are you only going to keep the rifle for 6 months or less? What else are you going to do during that period? If you get it, you're going to be shooting it with the long barrel, might as well be waiting for a stamp. The NFA process isn't difficult, and with e-filing the approval process can be quite simple. Personally, I have found the "hassle" of getting a tax stamp to be negligible, especially compared to the value and convenience of my rifles being SBRs.

Excellent post. And I agree that the hassle of a tax stamp is purely the wait and that's really a non-issue.

I filled everything out, got approved by CLEO, and then just never mailed it. Now I've moved, new CLEO will say no so I went sig arm brace. I need to do something else since the arm brace is now such a pain.

M855 is not an armor piercing round FYI

Beautiful piece! I'm a fan of the A-frame front sight, but it is what it is.

I removed posts that were clearly in violation of forum rules.

I would like to again remind everyone that any types of solicitation sales are not allowed and are to be conducted off the forum.

This is only for discussions.

Thank You.

synolimit · 03-30-2015, 05:35 PM

All done! First build complete... Got a proper mag, it's sighted in with some old reloads and shooting sub MOA. It was 6" low and 5" right and the scope worked perfect with 1/4" clicks. I hit bullseye first shot after 1 adjustment. Only complaint is it's got a good amount of recoil and take down is still tight! I youtubed best breaks and a guy did a sled test on 30 different front end devices. The A2 flash hider and bare muzzle for example slid back over 9 inches. The best break was precision armament that only slid back 2.35"! I'll be getting one soon!

Break down...
HM defense upper $640
416 triple hone 16" barrel
14" hand guard
Nib BCG
Flash hider
Charging handle
Upper
Mid gas tube and block

Spikes tactical lower $110
Magpul stock $60
Magpul grip $23
Magpul aluminium trigger guard $19
Magpul 20 round mag $13
POA precision single stage trigger $149
Cmmg lower kit $35
Tapco mil spec buffer kit $43
UTG 3-12x44 36 color scope and rings $122
UTG super duty bipod $32

Total $1246 for a $2000+ gun.
