SCAR Military Orders are up

[fmsniper]

I retired from the army in `05 is this replacing the M4 ??

In short No, but it is becoming the rifle of choice for SOCOM, at least the Heavy, many others are still using the HK416 in 5.56, the Scar Heavy though is on the rise.
The M110, M21 are in full use for DMR use but as soon as the Scar L comes out in full swing I see it taking over in that Market, I carried the M21 for years but to this day I hate the scope mounting system on it even with the advent of the Troy battle stock, which helps but adds much un needed weight, The M110 has over heating issues in AFGAN.

I just filled out a Form 1 for my SCAR 16 and in box 4a on the form it asks "Name and Location of Original Manufacturer". Well on the side of my 16 it says Fredericksburg VA. So I called the 800 number in the 16's manual and asked customer service if is was made in Fredericksburg and the man said yes. So I submitted the form 1 with Fredericksburg VA in box 4a. Who here is going to say the customer service guy was wrong and what is stamped on the rifle is wrong or misleading. All the form 1's I have ever filled out I have always put in box 4a what was stamped on the weapon I was changing.

Bump.

Bump.

You have to be right. What else would you put there? Something that isn't already on the receiver?

Herstal Belgium. It's marked on the upper.

The importation was executed under Fredricksburg.

DOH!

Not helpful sarge. I guess I'll have to call the atf now. Joy.

There is a box on the form 1 where it asks for all the markings, so you may have to include both.

The way Sarge explained it is the way I've always heard the US SCAR origin explained, but it may not be written in that detail on the receiver. I haven't looked at SCAR receivers closely enough to remember.

Either way, I think it is fixable. Don't stress about it.

Agreed. I don't think they will care. When my examiner puts it pending I will ask him.
