Hello All,

             Recently Got my FID! I have been window licking for the last 5 months. I have my heart set on the Scar 16s. Cant afford a 17s. My question is to any scar owner or someone who knows. What modifications needed to be done for NJ AWB compliance? also where did you get the modifications done?

 

      Thanks,

            Mike

 

P.S Unrelated Scar comments are welcome! 

Pin the stock so that it does not fold.

Muzzle device needs to be changed to a Muzzle Brake and pinned/welded on.

"Pin the stock so that it does not fold"....or collapse.

Thanks alot! any recommendation on where i should get this done?

Forgot the collapse part, but yeah... Where are you located?  We generally recommend people based on their location.

Franklin lakes area... willing to drive anywhere in the state though

Get Mike from Tier One Defense to do it. He did mine and a friends 17S  and we are both very happy with his work. He is about a 40 min drive from Franklin Lakes. Also, if you need mags that have a higher capacity then 15 rounds permanently blocked then he is the guy to do it also. I had my 17s with five 20 round mags sent directly to his shop from the company I bought it from in Texas.  Since he is an FFL dealer I  did the transfer through him. Really easy and fast.

 

My friend had him install the aftermarket Giesselle two stage trigger too. I put mine in myself so its not real difficult. Its not required for NJ compliance but it makes the trigger pull so much nicer.

Your Welcome. I got mine from Grabagun.com in Texas. They have no additional charge for using a credit card and shipping is only $5.99. There price was also the best I could find when I was shopping for my 17S.  I looked and they are out of stock on the 16s but you can get on their email list and they will notify you once its in stock again. At checkout they will ask you what FFL dealer you want to ship it to and you will find Tier One Defense already in their system of dealers. Super easy!

yeah, i have been on the wait-list for about a week now i cant imagine how many people are trying to get their hands on one of them! sounds great thanks for the heads up. hopefully i can post pictures in a month or two. 

Have you fired a scar 16 before? I loved it until I shot it. I see the appeal for a 308 17, and still want one, but so many good options for 5.56.

 

You can rent a 16s at gun for hire.

I have also used grabagun a few times....all great experiences

I went with the 17s. Like JackDaWack said there are so many options in 5.56 but for 308 its probably one of the best battle rifles you can buy.

I bought mine from texas tactical on GB. $2700 shipped. Bullseye Tactical in Woodbridge did the transfer and compliance work.

 

Pinned the stock - No more fold or adustment

Pinned and welded the muzzle brake

blocked and pinned 4 mags 

Between transfer and work it was another $200

I Would love to get a 17s Ammo is just out of my price range.. but man i would love one. 

I'd say your making a good decision then, No fun to buy a gun you can barely shoot. And you handled it so u know you like it.

Tier one defense. Mountainside nj. Do compliance work there. Or else.

Well, there is mastadon next to cherry ridge. If your ever up that way.

The fsc 556 that comes on it is good to go in nj so it just needs to be pin/welded and the stock needs to be fixed like others said.

 

As mentioned the super scar trigger is a must have upgrade, and an extended rail is the next most popular upgrade. I did the same mods to my 16 and 17.

Just make sure whoever does you stock compliance work doesn't blast 20 roll pins into it. There are a few dealers who replace the telescoping and collapsing parts with bar and flat stock so it can be put back together if you sell it or move out of state. It's a lot more expensive than blasting roll pins the plastic.
