jonny2400 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 *update, Well the hinge plate cracked just like everyone else has been. And just like I expected it to do so, right now some gorilla glue is holding it together. I just got off the phone with Evike, they're sending a replacement part out right away. So far great customer service, hopefully this will be the "reinforced" plate not just a replacement. So the Black SCAR is not invunerable... mine is serial no. 0000063 by the way. Damn I had been holding off in the hope that the Black verison might have had this issue sorted- Clearly not. Bad times AciDeX.. Bad Times indeed. Link to post Share on other sites
whosloosin92 Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 yeah i fired it with ammo and without in comparison, preforms and kicks the same. I was even curious if it would affect bolt cycle distance and did not do that either. The range on the gun is about the same from what i can tell also. perhaps it is because the rod is still (most likely) in the gun? I am also aware that the broken part caused it all to vent out or removing it wouldn't have fixed the problem. As fun as it is to yank random parts out i dont do so unless it helps something lol so the question is now, why is my gun kicking the same when it supposedly should not... also on the speculating table. if this "mod" reduces gas flow per shot would it not also extend the number of rounds one can get before the mag is out? I have shot two scars without that part, both experience reduced recoil. Others have experienced the same thing. I guess you do not fully understand the operation of the trigger unit otherwise you would not speculate that the broken off piece is still causing it to function correctly. Your questions have been answered pages back. Yes it does greatly increase gas efficiency. Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Why does WE put the bolt on the right side? I'm sure its supposed to be on the left side. I just saw that MDS vid and I think I just found a new pet peeve... SCARs with improper placement of bolt. It just makes the WE SCAR look so cheap. Haha never knew I was so anal.

smokenghosts Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The charging handle? It's ambidextrous just like the real steel. I personally like it on the right for when I throw the gun on my back with a two point sling. Nothing starts to pinch at my back, including the Surefire which I always keep on the right or bottom.

No, the actual bolt. Where shells would eject, and where you can SEE the blowback. Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The ejection port? It's supposed to be on the right side, seeing as most of the people are righthanded. Link to post Share on other sites
Major Dutch Schaeffer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I don't remember that much rifles with the ejection port left handed... Does the mouse pad fix work or the stock still breaks? Link to post Share on other sites
sparco7777 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ive put the mouse pad on the end of my buffer spring or whatever its called and i have had no crack develop and im on about my 10th mag. Link to post Share on other sites
Major Dutch Schaeffer Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 That's pretty reassuring news... Can someone confirm that AWSS parts are made of polymer or simple ABS plastic? ABS isn't strong enough to resist to such a powerful recoil... Link to post Share on other sites
smokenghosts Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Currently a lot of manufacturers have tried to put the ejection port on multiple sides, but so far it's mostly on the right side. That's why FN is so popular with their P90 or FS2000. Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I actually meant the charging handle... sorry. It was referring to a post in the Being Issued A SCAR review here. Current training is that RH folks have the bolt handle on the left side, so folks that like to hold the front of the mag well have issues But nvm, its not something I want this thread to go tangent on. Forget I ever said it. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Also, be aware on the bolt handle when holding it as it nearly took a finger off having been used to the M4! It's a mistake you'll only make once though! Yeah thats probably because it took the finger off, you don't have another one to take off Its like putting your thumb on the gas regulator hole on an assault rifle, not a pleasant sensation Link to post Share on other sites
Chacerdown Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I heard there is a Scar Heavy version is planned, does anyone know if it will have a larger mag capacity? 30 rounds vs some one with an AEG spraying me with 300 just can't compete. Other than capacity I am sold. Link to post Share on other sites
AciDeX Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 It's not how many rounds you have, it's how you use them... =P I'm pretty sure there won't be a difference in how many rounds the SCAR-H and SCAR-L can carry in each magazine. The SCAR-H 7.62 mags I have generally seen are wider than 5.56 SCAR-L mags, but are usually shorter. It would be nice, but I don't see it happening as current structuring wouldn't allow much more room for rounds. Not too mention that you can only shoot so many rounds off one gas charge/ co2 cartridge. Link to post Share on other sites
