Receivers are always a wise investment.

They take little initial outlay and store quite handily in the gun safe taking up little space.

You can't. This product is a replacement lower for the SCAR-17S that allows the use of common and inexpensive SR-25 style magazines (think DPMS or PMAG-308). Remember that on the SCAR, the upper is the serial numbered/regulated item; the lower is "just parts". While you can buy the lower and swap in the guts from your existing receiver, you won't be able to get new lower parts, uppers or upper parts from FNH USA to do a complete build.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hey, at least you hadn't already bought the thing!

On the up-side, this lower is a Good Thing for SCAR-17S owners who are sick of scrounging around to find mags and having to pay through the nose when the find them.

I have had that rifle for a year and a half and I JUST found heavy mags for $35.

I'd rather run the magpul mags, if only for the anti tilt followers.

I am tempted to buy one.

I saw a good hackjob recently for those. Would not advise the PMAG.

YET.

that is the key word

eventually if the rifle is successful/popular enough, and after the patent expires (Im assuming there is a patent), then its 'game on'.

O man o man o man.....!....OOOOO MAN patent expire.... NOW.....NOW....how bout NOW
