    Default FN SCAR

    Does anyone else find the charging handle on the FN SCAR freaky? It comes back and forth every time it's fired, and it's right above shooter's hand. You can't do a magwell grip with them at all. How come they didn't do it like the charging handle on G3 and MP5?

    I grip thumb over and hated that about the SCAR. Running the charge handle like an AK (on the left side) is too awkward for me. So I installed a PWS raiL which allows me to grip further on the rifle and having the CH clear better. Travis Haley has a video highlighting this.

    This is exactly what I'm going to do as well.

    SCAR is one of the only carbine I installed Vertical Rail Grip.
    I do not use the competition or O/U shotgun gripping on a SCAR.
    It is working out for me and my wife well.

    I never had any issue with it. I used TA31 as optic on it. There are also aftermarket options.

    Simple solution. Don't run a SCAR.
