I'm so ghetto I use a piece of rolled up cardboard to block my hammer. Hell, even this No Mar Amazon thing is too fancy for me and it's only $5: FWIW, I sold a Geissle SD3G to a buddy because it felt "OK" in my Seekins lower. It feels fantastic in his DPMS lower. I'm assuming the difference is in pin spacing, in which case the Strike Jig wouldn't have helped me anyway.

Aquatic mammal? One of those was the original FNH prototype for the Scar. I think that other Beluga went on to win the 3GN series...all of them.

No way, Tiger Bruh. The SCAR is ninja as hell...

The SLR is teeny-tiny. I've not tried the combination, but I would bet money that it would fit under there. Additionally, the SLR is easy to adjust so dinking around with it for different loads won't be an issue after you try it once or twice. Messing around with my Gen 1 Syrac is a pain in the ass in comparison, but in the grand scheme of things it's no big deal at all. Go .223 Wylde for the DMR aspect. If you're buying new, you might as well get the chamber that has the potential for greater accuracy.

How much further down do you need to go? You can take a heat gun and soften up the top of the comb. It's sort of "peakish" anyway, so flattening it out will give you 1/4" of drop without too much issue. Much more than that the gun is gonna get ugly, but at least it will fit!

Yup. The bolt rides in the aluminum body. I have the blue fluted version. The newer ones are a little too "Miami Vice" for me. I just put in the trigger bushing and polished the sear (the wrong side of the sear was polished from the factory!). With a Hi-viz front sight it's a great plinker/backpacking gun.

No what? The title of this thread is, "Can a Scar16 compete with an AR" and you're asking about splits on a competitive shooting site. I'm actually a bit confused as to what answers you're looking for.

There is so much truth in this statement. I wish I had really understood this when building a dedicated 3gun rifle and saved money for ammo.

This is excellent writing!

I have the Syrac Gen 1. I wish I had the SLR but I got a deal on the Syrac. Both work, but the SLR seems to have a reputation for being easier to adjust after getting crapped up with lead and carbon.

I needed this so badly! Thank you.

It's my experience that the adjustable gas block is going to be the major recoil/impulse mitigating factor with a full mass BCG- so much so that minor tweaking of a traditional buffer spring isn't going to give you any satisfaction. Just run the balls off of it as is and put a JP SCS on the wish list for next season.

Corrected. 10-32 thread. I've been shooting in the desert all day and my brain is a little sunburnt!

Just for future reference, the original knurled LAR charging handles have the 10-32 thread, ~.25" width at the shank, and weigh .15oz. The Eisenach does look like a nice piece though.

Is your BCG standard weight?

I'll save you the trip to the hardware store, Steve! The LAR/Crosshill is a 10-32 with about .187" of exposed thread . I'm heading out to the range in a bit so I'll get the shank diameter for you.

I think the easier question would be "What is the thread pitch on your charging handles?"

Expensive. Proven.

Oh, and there was one match last year when I had my gas block set too low and I switched ammo between stages (like an idiot). There wasn't enough gas flow to cycle the bolt, so I had to manually rack the charge handle for each shot. With a left side charger I was still able to keep my cheek-weld and sight picture between shots. Even though I was basically shooting a bolt gun I still managed to get a mid-pack stage time. It was actually fun as hell once I got over the frustration of starting a stage with a brain-fart.

I'm biased because I have one, but I bet you won't regret going with the Crosshill/LAR. I doubt anyone makes a crappy side charging upper, but they've been at it a long time and the attention to tolerances on their flagship models is notable. Almost all the hunting/shooting out here in Utah can be considered long range and the precision shooters out here are downright fanatical about their gear. Before the Remingtion buyout, the OPS4 was the regional go-to upper for small caliber gas-gun precision shooting. Additionally, the pretty mountains on their website are literally the ones that run across the view of their shop in West Valley (Salt Lake City) , and it's not much of a stretch to think that the Crosshill/LAR tests at/for those conditions and altitudes. http://www.702shooter.com/product-reviews/lar-grizzly-ops-4-side-charging-upper-receiver-review/

I don't shoot heavy but some of my buddies are really into the heavy limited divisions. The consensus is that If heavy was easy or fast, everyone would be doing it. Don't even bring up "cheap"!

I had the same issue. I switched to a normal sized mag release and everything was hunky-dory. I liked the idea of an oversized mag button, but I rarely have to drop a mag more than once a match and when that happens it's not the size of the release button that makes me stumble anymore.

Blue locktite. 30 inch lbs of torque. No backouts. No biggie to clean. Spritz of Hornady one shot every match or so. Melonite/Nickel Boron everything. I almost never clean my AR (2-3K round cleaning interval) and it's my only gun that runs 100% of the time.

I picked up a set of vintage Ray-Ban shooters and am gonna have them re-lensed with my prescription. Kickin' it old School.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! The Seekins is super nice, but the eye-candy aspect of it overwhelmed my "do I really need this shit?" reasoning. Plus, having a blingy rifle makes me feel extra stupid after I brainfart through a stage in front of other shooters .
