After Paying on my 16s I asked the Big question

[TangoDown]

I asked my supplier when the 17s' will start arriving and they spoke to FN last week and they said don't expect any for civilians at all. Now I know we have seen some presented at shows etc. But what is the factual low down if any on these?

SCAR 17S
Released for 2010 is the highly anticipated SCAR 17S now available for civilian purchase. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (308 Win.) and slightly heavier than the SCAR 16S, this unique carbine offers long-range accuracy, exceptional reliability and match winning versatility.

I work for a dealer and I talked to FN two-three weeks ago and they told me that they were expecting them in for 2010.

Thanks guys I'll definitely keep my hopes up and if anyone hears anything differently please keep us posted. The person I spoke to was a rather heavy FN dealer so they have a close relationship with them.

Not too long ago during a phone call to FN I was told they had just been passing around one of the new civilian 17's and that next year was going to be another great year for FN and the people who like their products.

It would seem your dealer did not have the correct information.

No worries in this case I'm very happy to have bad intel.

I couldnt wait so I bought a POF 308 to tide me over till then lol. Can you imagine what they will be getting for these when they first come out...The way I see it they will be reasonable by 2011 and I hope we dont have an awb by then...Cross fingers

It's really too bad that SiG-Sauer USA can't seem to get their act together. And their current leadership is leading SiG's QC into a downward spiral.

I think SIG's problem is that they are trying to compete with other makers price wise. To me SIG always ment exceptional quality. They still do, i just won't buy a .380 or a .22.
