The SCAR Program: Present and Future (Page 2)

The U.S. Special Operations Command is going forward with the MK17 7.62x51 mm NATO SCAR-H program.

February 17, 2011

SOCOM’s Fiscal Year 2011 budget submission for all SCAR variants is $3 million. According to SOCOM Public Affairs, “SOCOM will use the existing contract with the manufacturer to procure the weapons. SOCOM is in the process of determining the exact quantities of the MK17, MK13 and MK20 variants that will be purchased,” said Maj. Ticer.

What you are both forgetting is that the US mil has been buying weapons from FN for 20+ years, wanna guess who makes the M249 or M240B.. Or for that matter, plenty of the M16's I've shot in the service? That's right, FN. And for my 2 cents, they do a much finer job making arms than Colt ever has.

Russel, the XCR isn't similar. It only offers a 7.62x39 conversion not the 7.62x51. That's a solution to a range problem with round that has the same or less range, not to mention less accuracy. I do agree the XCR is a fine weapon but, only necessary if you intend on needing enemy ammo. Besides nothing better to get others of their then a little competition.

I agree with Preston, our military should be buying American made products. Look at the Robinson Arms XCR rifles. Very similiar to SCAR rifles, but made in America. Only reason they weren't in the SCAR competition was they forgot or didn't have a blank firing adaptor.

I do not think we should be buying foreign made equipment for our military. I say throw it away and buy American made, American owned.

Henry tack a look at this poster http://patriotsec.com/Acquisition%20Technology%20and%20Logistics%20Lifecycle%20Chart.pdf It should help you understand why these aquisitions take as long as they do. Look for milestone "C" at the top of the chart right of center
