KDG Tease MREX20 PRS Style SCAR 20S Handguard
KDG (Kinetic Development Group) has been accessorizing the FN SCAR for almost a decade. They recently started their own blog and posted a teaser video up on their instagram. They showed a prototype MREX20 rail/handguard.

Here is an excerpt KDG posted in their blog:
The MREX has been here for almost a decade, and it’s time to once again advance. Over the years, we have received tons of feedback from you all – and we hear you. We are proud to announce we are actively working on a Mod3 (Gen1, MkII, Mod3, not confusing at all, right?). While I unfortunately can’t give away too much detail until we get closer to release, you can be sure it is on the way. It will feature a healthy blend between past and present, combining the best of both worlds from each. The Mod3 will maintain the features you know and love while also increasing compatibility with other aftermarket accessories you may already have. At the same time, you SCAR 20S fans can also expect to see some love with the release of the MREX20 (MREX for Scar 20, make sense?). While I continue to throw very vague information at you, all I can offer is “Precision Rifle Shooting” (PRS). There will be included features to accommodate more long range applications in both the Mod3 and the MREX20. As the SCAR continues to evolve so will the MREX.
Unfortunately, this is all we know about the MOD3 by KDG. But the second to last sentence of their blog post has a little bit of a clue. Especially if we look at the prototype MREX20 handguard they showed on their Instagram account.
Compare the prototype MREX20 above and the MREX MKII 6.5 below. The MREX20 has three full MLOK slots and the sling cup hole is behind them.
The most interesting aspect is what appears to be an ARCA rail integrated into the MREX20. Also, there appears there are 6 M-LOK slots and two short M-LOK slots along the bottom.
I photoshopped this mockup, but it is not to scale so it is not accurate but it gives us an idea of what the MREX20 might look like on a SCAR20.
Since the mentioned MOD3 will also have features for long-range applications, then maybe the MOD3 will also have ARCA rail integrated into it as well. Time will tell. To keep up with what KDG is up to, check out their Instagram and website blog.

I just wish their SCAR stocks were back in stock.
