FN SCAR

[UrbanWolf]

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.

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.

How do you like charging that thing with an optic on it? Knuckle buster!

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

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

Simple solution. Don't run a SCAR.

One of the main purpose of having a scar was the weight advantage. Therefore, I did not install the pws ext rail.
