I'm guessing they will be compatible as a joint program.

FN can make it either way. 2.I like the ACR better but the civilian semi-auto version (pictured) has the pistol grip & trigger guard molded in ONE piece so you're stuck with the grip, like it or not. If I get an ACR I'll cough up the $200. Class III stamp fee for the full auto version. My AUG is semi auto and now I wanna rock 'n roll with an ACR. 1.The SCAR only has a reciprocating bolt handle B/C SOCOM decided they wanted it. FN can make it either way.

I am not military,but i do agree a 6.8 round would be more affective than a 556 round. I think i would prefer the masada ,but what about the prices, is it 3000 still? Are there any opinions on the differents on recoil of the SCAR and the Masada?

I humped 20-odd pounds of SAW in Afghanistan for nine months and eventually adjusted to the weight, even with about sixteen pounds of ammo along for the ride, plus IBA/MICH, assault pack with about sixty more pounds of gear in it...a rifle that weighs a couple more pounds than an M4 (which frequently gets hefty from the accessories you see infantry/cav scouts/SF/etc attaching to them anyway) is not that huge a deal.

The quick change barrel on the ACR is tool less and faster, the ACR's controls are more ergonomic, the ACR has a non reciprocating bolt handle, and on and on. On top of all this I can't see how the ACR could possibly be more expensive than the SCAR.

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:43:21 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=7177#comment-41924 I would REALLY like to see a side-by-side comparison of the ACR and the FN SCAR because these two will soon go head to head in competition for the replacement for the M16 family of rifles. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? Which do TROOPS like? It seems to me that Magpul/Bushmaster/Remington need to make the ACR modular enough that, like the SCAR, it can be switched from 5.56 mm to 6.8 mm (or 6.5) because the military sorely NEEDS a cartridge with more pundh at distance than the current 5.56. BTW, word from one competitor in the on-going solitication/testing for the next U.S sniper rifle has it that the cool-looking Remington entry was dropped for accuracy reasons. As of August Bushmaster and Desert Tactical still had dogs in the fight. Interesting to see who wins that contract for a .338 Lapua cartridge sniper rifle. Will it be one of the two remaining American enteries or a foreign rifle?

An individual had posted footage of Shotshow in 2008 and 2010 and it was shown in both. I have to say definitively for myself that I prefer the 2008 version because it had the charging handle on both sides. this is convenient if the hand which you prefer to activate the charging handle were to let's say be exposed to danger if you were to use it. I don't know, I simply like having the option of using either hand. While it it true that the 2010 model can be charged from either side, you have to physically moved the charging handle to the opposite side, like the FN SCAR. I saw the weapon on YouTube.

Tha gas system has multiple settings for suppressed and unsuppressed firing so no undue stress is put on the system. The gas system is connected to each barrel so there is no issue with changing barrel lengths. A grenade launcher could easily be made to fit where the front hand guard attaches using capture pin and the same type of barrel clamp the tavor grenade launcher uses. Charging handle is forwar.
