Monday, October 12th, 2015AUSA – FNH USA 7.62×39 SCAR
Monday, October 12th, 2015 
Many thought the AK compatibility requirement for the SOF Combat Assault Rifle had fallen off the table. Not true. Rather, USSOCOM initially concentrated in the impending need for 5.56 and 7.62 NATO variants. Now, FN has built a 7.62×39 version of the Combat Assault Rifle to fulfil a requirement. with the CAR contract entering its second five years, you’ll start to see these models hitting the field as a reliable alternative to battlefiled pickup AKs.
Naturally, it features a different barrel, bolt, lower and AK-style magazine catch, but it also has a different gas regulator seen below.
As it utilizes AK magazines, there is no bolt hold open on the last round.

Sneak Peek – Gripstop’s New SCAR Charging Handle
Tuesday, October 6th, 2015 
Gripstop Designer Nate Murr has developed an ambidextrous FNH SCAR Charging Handle, which starts production this week. With a slight downward curve (or upward if you flip it over) and radius, you can get a great purchase on the charging handle even with slippery or gloved hands. The radius also keeps your fingers away from the receiver, so busted knuckles off the optics are going to be a thing of the past. It’s also SHORTER than the factory charging handle! The’s only one problem…it doesn’t have a name.
