Is it worth trying to get more possibly banned guns rather than to wait till after the whole bs comes to light? I do not want to try purchase anything I might have to turn in. If there is a grandfather clause which I don't see will be put in place, I'd consider it. But as of now, the expense is not worth having possibly to be taken away for free. In the first AWB years ago, the panic was the State PD would either confiscate the weapon or give you $50 for it. Ended up in a statewide panic of people trying to get rid of their guns for pennies on a dollar. I sold ny Colt AR15 out of state and didn't get back what I paid for it.

Again, I'd love a Scar, but not right now...

Since no one can tell you the future, there is no right answer. Weigh your risks and make your decision. That is the only way to procede.

But for me, I will not pay these inflated prices. I think a ban is not very likely to happen. They are not going to get a ban though congress before the debt ceiling debate consumes all their time. By the time that's over, something else will probably come to distract the general public from this topic. Even if this doesn't happen, pushing a ban through the House is a long shot.

what happens if a national ban goes thru? if nobody can sell them, who is gonna get em? i doubt the Fed is gonna give me full retail.

I will not comply with a fed ban....

im moving to Wyoming!

I said this in another post, but given the unbelievable number of AR-15 rifles and components to build them sold in a single month, the immensity of 5 years’ worth of AR magazines sold in days, and an unfathomable quantity of .223/5.56 ammo sold, I believe it would be beyond naive of the government to proceed without an appropriate grandfathering clause for at least several reasons. Now with that said, let's not even give them the chance - be heard!

Added a Branham rail to mine...

 

Let me know if any are interested, I found a dealer who has them.

Anyone on here who wants to part with their 16 shoot me a pm. I am on the hunt for one.

I have one of each from before the craziness. They were pricey but not like now. I paid 2600 for my 16 and 3200 for my 17. I bought a lot of mags (I have 8) for my 17 when I got it due to the proprietary design. I also bought a lower that will take pmags in .308.

 

The 16 uses regular mags so that wasn't a problem.

 

I'm skittish they'll be banned and have thought about cashing in. I can sell the mags for my 17 for a lot of dough, but as a package it's attractive because of the number of mags.

 

My thought is the 16 is worth 3500 or there about and the 17 is worth more than 4k. Mine are mint and low round count thru them.

 

If it gets crazier I may pull the trigger.

You also have to be careful about what mags you use in the 16. I only use metal mags in it.

Yeah, I hear PMAGs without proper modifications may actually damage the rifle... but the fix is super easy, like 5 minutes with a dremmel easy.

Good point, I use all metal mags. I use PMAGS in my other AR rifles.

How did you guys go about preventing the stock from folding? The muzzle break has to be welded, and the stock extension button has something you can drop into the mechanism to prevent it from depressing I've seen on the web. Haven't figured out how to handle the folding bit beside a LOT of epoxy. I'd prefer something a bit more elegant like a pin with a tack weld.

Take out the button by depressing the little tab you can see in the window when the stock is folded. Remove the spring from under the button. Drive to Lowes and find a nut that fits tightly up inside the button and a matching allen head screw that's approximately an inch long. Drill a small hole in the button so that you can access the allen head screw. Place a penny in the bottom of the well, so the bolt has something metal to brace up against. Reinstall the button with the nut and screw, then with the stock in the fully open position, use a thin allen wrench to tighten the bolt and lock the button in place, thus preventing the stock from folding. It is ultimately reversible with only a small hole in the stock button, should you move to Free America, or sell it in same.

Just got my 17s finally....

Just what I am looking for!

Congrats!

So Pmags wont work in these. Why is that?

You can use pmags in the 16 thats all i use but you have to modify them with a dremel or over time it can cause problems with the bolt since it pushes ever so slightly up on the bolt. There is a few videos on youtube showing how to do it. I did in on all my pmags in less then 5 minutes

17s have proprietary mags but there are company's that sell lowers that allow for other mags.

What's a non-crazy price for a SCAR 17? And does anyone know how to find one?

 

Definitely want this to be my next long gun purchase
