apmaman Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I would +1 that too but I have the diet SCAR, only because of the M4 mag compatibility mind you. Link to post Share on other sites

fiddlesticks4220 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 That's easy to work out: H is for men whilst L is women and little girls. I do want, but can't justify it atm.  lol no it has alot to do with  the vest u use the mags u have allready the mags ur teamate has  i beleve the scar l is more practical (223 is not a little girl round)  why would u want replica 7.62 round if u will never have that kinda range in airsoft?

My kit is set up for 7.62 (G3 ftw), and while my mags aren't cross compatible, the rigging is. As for what "mags ur teamate has", I've never been so low on ammo that I've had to blag a mag.  And personally, I just don't like the 5.56 magazines. Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Problem with the Scar H is, other than star's there are no mid or low caps for them, and high caps are for kids and commies Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 The mags are a bit of a drag. As it stands I can swap mags & pouches between my 416 and my 16 without headaches. No doubt there's a huge hole in my life that only a 7.62x51 will fill but without magazines it's not going to happen. Â It looks like there's lots of 17s in pictures with Rangers so that will hopefully translate into lots of other folks starting to build low and mid cap magazines. Â Right now though since they both throw 6mm arguing that one is better based on caliber is verging on a purse fight. Save it for the SEAL thread. Â Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well, I tried the grippod but really didn't care for it. The grippod is built like a tank but I wanted something with some cant and swivel so I finally bit the bullet and picked up a Tango Down advanced combat bipod. Immediately I found I needed to modify the 249 to get it to be 100 functional so I removed the pintle as well as the little bar that is parallel with the pintle mount. I messed around with the placement of the bipod and found it worked best when in reversed it which allowed me to deploy the bipod much faster and keep my height adjustment. I also found the natural pivot point to be closer to the center of the gun giving me better sweeping shots.  Here is what I came up with: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b62/bigc...ft/IMG_2824.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b62/bigc...ft/IMG_2826.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b62/bigc...ft/IMG_2825.jpg I Placed my TangoDown grip at the front of the rail, but I think either way works well. I set it up the way I did per the request of the SAW gunner on the team who wanted to keep the TangoDown Bipod stowed until needed and the KAC grip was a must.   When your bipod is folded up, how do you hold the front end? Do you grip the stowed bipod? Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 It looks like that bipod might flip forward. If that's the case then you'd still have the vert grip clear. Link to post Share on other sites
bigc3031 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 His bipod folds back not forward in that configuration. Â Corps-what is the flash hider you are rocking on your SAW? Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 It looks like that bipod might flip forward. If that's the case then you'd still have the vert grip clear. Mine flips backwards, his goes forwards. But the cool thing about the TangoDown Bipod is that it's wide enough to sit around the VFG. bigc3031's bottom rail is designed shorter so his doesn't have as much room to accommodate both a TD Bipod and a VFG. He has space behind the bipod to install the VFG, but that'd make it hang right in front of the box mag making it almost unusable. Which was why I was curious how he handles the front end. Though using the folded bipod as a handguard may not be horrible at all.  His bipod folds back not forward in that configuration. Corps-what is the flash hider you are rocking on your SAW? TBH, I'm not sure. It's whatever came with my G&P Mk46: http://www.gp-web.com/en/productspop.php?pid=1619 Link to post Share on other sites
bigc3031 Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks for the link. My bipod works great folded up but I prefer to keep it deployed, I spend a lot of time proned out with the SAW as I want to keep as true to a support gunner as possible. If I want to run and gun I will just break out the PTW. Link to post Share on other sites
pedrosalas7 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 anyone here want to sell me their VFC SCAR-H SD suppressor and flash hider? or can anyone tell me where i can get one? Â thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Got a question... I have a VFC scar L in black wich I'll sell to buy me a VFC scar H in FDE. Problem is... I'm not sure to buy me a L or H. Â So, are the L lower receivers compatible with a H upper / barrel unit ? If not, what parts ( fieldstripped modules ) are interchangeble? I know the lowers are different ( no, really? lol ) but I *Think* the barrel/handgrip is different too. Could anyone with a VFC H and L version of the scar shed a light on this? Â It'd be a marvelous modular system to just buy the L parts when I have a H. Â Â thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think the receiver swap is no go, too bad though as I kind of had a similar plan. Here' a whole wad of reference pics, but these are real steel ones so if you're looking for airsoft pics do not go here.  I am particularly interested in the flash photo's that show the distinct colour changes beteen the uppers and lowers and other FDE hardware. Something that some brands here have been vilified for.  http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread....ine.net Forums  http://www.fnforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=4521  http://www.fnforum.net/viewtopic.php?t=4523  http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=25067  And one pic with my new sling.   Link to post Share on other sites

Bad fiddlesticks!!!! Â Â As for the mag compatibility.....for me its enough reason to go with the SCAR Light.
