Any SCAR owner near Tucson?
Hello all.
A fella on M4carbine.net has been making some interesting videos that show things like recoil and buffer tests for AR15s.
I've contacted him by PM and he says he'd be happy to make a recoil video with the SCAR for comparison to other carbines.
Here's a couple of links to read some of his posts. He does a bunch of stuff I find interesting like testing heat signatures and center of gravity stuff. Just search for his name there and look through his posts if you're interested.

If you live near Tucson, AZ and would like to let this fella use your SCAR to make a video for comparison please pm him at M4carbine.net. If you don't go there you can pm me here and I'll get him your info.
Thank YouJoshua 24:14-15

Tucson is only an hour and a half away. I don't have a SCAR myself, but if anyone has a loaner....

Well, I guess I meet the criteria. It sure looks like cool stuff but I'm not to keen on opening my safe to a stranger.
I suppose there's a way to do it safely.
Do you know the guy at all?

Joshua,
Thanks for the link.
That guy has some wits about him. Did anybody else notice the amount of linear movement in the bolt carrier? Some greater than others, and of course that can't be a good thing either.

If so, what was that chunk that came out the muzzle break (and not the bullet unless it was part of it 
)
to bad the resolution isn't better, but those are cool vids

I'm curious if it was just a chunk of carbon build up in the brake that got blown out maybe?-Dan

That would be one funny shaped piece of carbon, it is bent.
The item comes out of the brake after the bullet has left and a "puff" of lighter colored smoke comes out.11:00 P.M. EST Nov 4th, 2008, My nightmare came true...

Yeah, I haven't a clue as to what it was.
I was kind of surprised at the muzzle rise in the Ruger SR556 compared to the DI guns.
I'd really like to see how the SCAR compares to them.-Dan
