Gear Review: TangoDown SCAR Accessories

@Shanksabunch I have one and I don't like it. Bizarre recoil impulse, pug ugly, reciprocating charging handle, tears up night vision, cheap feeling, and it is just big and bulky.

@Shanksabunch The Scar family has a lot of problems with quality control, design problems which just never made sense. You might own one, but I have had to deal with well over a hundred MK17s and 20s and there are major problems with the weapons.

@Shanksabunch Major problems? Do share, and please tell me of a platform out there that has a 100% problem free service record...oh wait, there's no such thing.

Alex C. – you don't like your Scar. Reasons...

Bizarre recoil impulse (now your just trying to sound like some ballistic, range badass, tacticool operator, come-on man! Your writing for a firearms blog. you can do better than that. What's the impulse? how exactly does it bother you?

Pug ugly – You saw it before you bought it right? Should've bought the black one instead of jumping on the FDE hump train.

Reciprocating charging handle – lol. There are 100 million AK-47-style assault rifles in circulation around the world. All have reciprocating handles....I love this one

Tears up night vision – more operator shit.

Cheap feeling, big and bulky – I'm not even sure what this means...I can say a Tavor feels cheap, an AR-15 feels cheap... seriously man... y'all need to use that big ol Texas writin brain o yours, and fix up some better explanations now. lol

@Shanksabunch POI shifts of up to 7 minutes and back with the MK20, going full auto randomly for both platforms, having almost 50% of your guns needing to be sent back on deployment. As for the charging handle. Yes many designs do have reciprocating handles, but look at the charging handle of the M14 or AK47, the charging handles are capable of being struck with a heel.

@Shanksabunch You are emotionally attached to your bad purchase, I get that but there is no reason to be upset. No operator here, I just shoot in jeans and a shirt, hunt with night vision and machine guns, hate slapping-charging handles, and dislike the feel of the platform. I feel that my explanations are sufficient, especially when you take into account that I own damn near every semi automatic 5.56 rifle ever made or imported into the USA. The SCAR is most definitely on the lower rungs of the ladder.

@ seans I am inclined to hold your word to a higher regard than random dude with a tacticool SCAR from the internet.
Thank you for sharing this info Seans.

@ seans What kind of failures are you encountering? Also, what are the circumstances? This isn't the first time I've heard this statement, however each individual who tells it claims a different issue. How are they breaking these firearms? I've got almost 60,000 rounds through my scar after 2 years and it would be nice to know what to plan for.

@Chris O If your gun has 60000 thousands rounds thru it is most likely fine. We found with are MK17s that problems would occur within the first three thousand rounds. At 5000 we considered the gun reliable. As for the type of problems, the guns had no overall theme of what would break. Again which is what makes me believe it is quality control issues, that and talking to the actual FN reps who had no explanation to our questions.

@seans I appreciate the information. While having various conversations with the gentlemen whom it is my job to provide support, I had been led to believe that my purchase was waiting for a chance to fall apart while I wasn't looking, always hinting at an issue with the bolt carrier assembly or the stock assembly.
