Anyone have the SCAR extended for end from FN?

Please talk about it. Was it worth it? Did it add much weight to the "heavy"?

[ryr8828]

I have the pws, it doesn't add a lot of weight as far as I can tell, and yes it was worth it.

I remember hearing about same weight as PWS but you are restricted access to gas port I believe it was. As mentioned there isn't much weight added to front end.

does the PWS interfer with field stripping the scar? how much are they.

[LineofSight]

No they don't. Unless your removing barrel which I honestly don't know. Check classifieds...there was one for sale.

How does the PWS rail compare with the FN factory extended rail?

I just got my FNH Foreend Extension today and here is a picture installed (I hope)...
it seems to move the weight balance of the rifle forward, but that is because I have my bipod located on the extension. Otherwise the weight is fairly low (less than 8oz.), I think.
Craftsmanship of the FNH rail is exemplary as usual. It installs around the front folding sight and gas tube adjuster and has a gap to accommodate these for future access.
I like mine, even though it changes the look of the rifle, it gives me a spot to mount the bipod well forward of whatever I decide to put on the main bottom rail for a hand-guard, in this case it's a AFG2 from Magpul.
Enjoy,

Oh yes, here is the picture...

Sorry, post reply overkill here but here is a pic of my 17 before fore end rail installed.

Once installed on the weapon, is there any rattling or wiggle room etc?

Or is it as stationary as the upper receiver?
