Mesa Tactical Introduces AR-15-Compatible SCAR Stock Adapter
Mesa Tactical has introduced a new SCAR stock adapter for use with AR-15 buffer tubes. From the press release:
January 20, 2015, Las Vegas, NV — Mesa Tactical, designer and manufacturer of high quality tactical accessories and equipment for law enforcement, military and civilian shooters, has introduced a butt stock adapter for the FN-SCAR rifle. This new adapter allows the FN-SCAR to use virtually any AR-15 butt stock. The availability of different styles and configurations AR-15 butt stocks, now usable on the FN-SCAR, increases the adaptability and versatility of this fine carbine. The Faro™ Adapter fits both the SCAR 16S and SCAR 17S.
The FN-SCAR is an excellent carbine, but its proprietary butt stock limited configurations and user desired options. The investment cast aluminum, Faro Adapter, replaces the factory SCAR butt stock assembly. The adapter accepts rifle length or carbine length AR-15 buffer tubes to which the user can attach almost any available AR-15 butt stock. Simply install the tube onto the adapter, add any AR-15 butt stock and then simply install on the SCAR in place of the factory stock assembly.
The Faro Adapter is features steel ambidextrous push button style QD Sling attachment points and is available in either matte black or Flat Dark Earth. The comb height in relation to the top Picatinny rail is exactly same as a Flat Top AR-15.

Faro Telescoping Stock Adapter and Receiver Extension for FN SCAR (Black)
Adapting the SCAR for the common and plentiful AR-15 buffer tube makes a lot of sense, though it does sacrifice the folding stock that many perceive as a major advantage over the AR-15. I do wish that a more durable and attractive aftermarket folding stock would be released for the SCAR.

When these things started coming out I was hoping for an adaptor that folder so I could mount a minimal stock on it. The cars stock gets in the way when folded.
I'll probably get one of these. I have a couple AR stocks that I like better and since I live in CA, I already had to disable the folding feature of the stock (because it brings the OAL to less that 30" and it can be fired from the folded position, which we all know makes the gun 13x more lethal).
