Bushmaster ACR vs SCAR 16S Part III

[MilitaryArms]

I've posted part III to the multi-part series where I'm comparing the ACR to the SCAR 16s.

I couldn't wait for your final conclusions; I ordered an ACR for myself yesterday.

Great job as always; have fun on vacation!

Nice review, Thanks for passing the pin trick to others. I cannot believe that bushmaster tech support hasn't figured that out, or that it was not an issue during R & D

Ive sent a stop and desist order out on you.... you must stop posting these as I really want an ACR enhanced version in FDE !!!

Seriously though, great reviews and tips.... keep them coming !!!

SCAR for the win in my opinion between the two..... I want a 20" barrel with a extended forearm.

I think you'll enjoy the ACR. Right now I slightly favor the SCAR, I still have a thing for the ACR. There's a lot to like about the rifle.

One other quirk I didn't mention in the video that bugs me, because I'm funny like this, is that the ACR flings it's spent cases back in such a way they hit the receiver. The port buffer doesn't prevent this on my rifle, so I am getting chips in the paint just behind the ejection port. It's probably made worse by the fact I'm shooting Wolf (steel cases). I have a couple of strips of black electrical tape back there now to prevent further damage. You can see it in the video.

Like this?

Those are beauty marks,

Believe it or not, I get the same fling if not a bit worse, with brass cased ammo (especially xm193)

Is this like work-self, or home-self?
