By Side
Alright, since I have not seen one single G&G SCAR Review out there (minus all those youtube reviews), I decided to review my G&G SCAR I just received!
Real steel History of the SCAR:
Wikipedia.com wrote:The Special Forces Combat Assault Rifle,[1][2] or SCAR, is a modular rifle made by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FNH) for the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. This family of rifles consist of two main types. The SCAR-L, for light, is chambered in the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and the SCAR-H, for heavy, fires 7.62x51mm NATO. Both are available in Long Barrel and Close Quarters Combat variants. The FN SCAR system completed low rate initial production testing in June 2007.[3] After some delays, the first rifles began being issued to operational units in April 2009, and a battalion of the US 75th Rangers will be the first large unit deployed into combat with 600 of the rifles in 2009
First Impressions: This gun came in 2 days ahead of schedule, which had me jumping for joy when I came home to find my gun. When it up I was greeted with a 450 round magazine, the gun, a cleaning rod, and a foregrip that doubles over as a bi-pod.
Look and Feel: The upper receiver is made of magnesium, which feels extremely solid. The lower receiver is a polymer type substance, which also feels very solid.
The top rail allows you to mount basically any sight. It's numbered 1-40
You can adjust the rear sight. This is in it's lowest position
And this is it's highest
It can also fold down to make seeing through a scope/optic much easier
The same goes for the front sight.
The stock can fold for more compactness.
The gun is one solid piece of equipment. The Hi-cap magazine fits into the mag well perfectly with only a little bit of wobble. I tried MAG magazines, and there is still a little bit of wobble with the magazines.
However, since this gun holds you down to only a small type battery unless you get a new stock or battery pouch: 17/20
Internals & Externals
While it seems this gun has a very goldish upper receiver, it is only due to the camera. In person, the gun's upper and lower receiver are very similar in color.
The bolt catch is fully functional, which is a convenience when adjusting the hop-up. (Hop-up seems to me like a standard M4 one piece hop-up.
Now it is closed
As I have said before, the foregrip can double over as a bi-pod with the push of a button, or it can just be a regular foregrip:
The trades are very accurate, and each gun comes with a unique serial number (I got 198)
The stock can be put into 6 positions, this one being the last one
And this one being the first one
The cheek rest can also be adjusted to 3 positions, this one being the lowest
And this one being the highest
The removal insertion of the battery is probably the only downside to this gun. It is a process that begins with removing this pin.
Removed (you now can take off the pad)
You then put the stock in the last position (fully retract it) and use the pin you removed to push up a metal tab on the bottom of the stock
Then you can wiggle the stock out.
Place the battery in
And hook up the wires
You can now wiggle the stock back in, place the butt pad back on, insert the pin, and you're ready to go!
The only thing to watch out for, is when you place the stock back in the gun, there are some metal contacts that I can see bending very easily, so be very careful.
The gun is standard G&G internals so I expect it to go a long way if I don't mess with it, and combined with the externals, it justifies the price. 19/20
Performance: I did an accuracy test with 11 shots on semi-auto with .25 G&G non-bio's at 90 ft. My results were not the best, but the hop-up has not broken in yet (>20 shots taken before the accuracy test). Also, I haven't cleaned the inner barrel yet.
Not the best accuracy, even with a 6.04 mm barrel, but I haven't broken in the hop-up or cleaned it yet, so my performance makes sense 18/20
Upgrade Availability: The internals are completely M4 compatiable, so the possibilities are endless for internals, as for externals, the options are almost limitless as well.
The gun is M4 compatiable internally, which speaks for itself. For the SCAR alone, there are not that many external upgrades except for lasers, red dot sights, foregrips, etc. So not too bad 18/20
Overall grade: 72/80
Final Verdict: Most budget SCAR's on the market are just plain crap. I don't have a VFC SCAR to compare this to right now, but it seems from looking around it has better internals but a slightly worse externals then the VFC. When I get the VFC version, I will confirm this myself.
