Anyone here into firearms?

The FN SCAR 556 is only like $1900 at my local shop.

So I found this one used for $1000. Is this a good deal? It was made in 2007, has less than 500 rounds through it.

Rifle specs:

1:9 twist
16" chrome lined barrel
6 position stock
Surefire M81 quadrail (mid-length)
Removable tactical carry handle/iron sight
Front/side slingmount
RRA blue rifle case
Less than 500 rounds through the rifle.

I own a Yugoslavian SKS, a Mauser Kar98k from WW2, and a Walther P.38 also from WW2 with all matching numbers that a veteran brought back. I'll get pictures one day. $500 worth of ammo that I haven't touched either

I didn't buy it yet, I was seeing what kind of deal it was for those in the know. It seems like since the run on ARs is over for now there are a lot of good deals to be had, better than this one I think.

you can get some new for less
Stag Arms

but I guess if the RRA is local, it would be easier, no need to pay a fee for your local FFL.

Daniel Defense is building some pretty good rifles... probably a better choice than the RRA.

Thanks fellas, now that Obama mania has subsided there are some pretty damn good deals on ARs out there.

semtex · 06-03-2010, 02:59 PM

Nice choice, Tin! Daniel Defense is leaps and bounds better than RRA (at least by reputation).

Yeah after spending a ridiculous amount of time on gun message boards that's what I discovered too. It will be here on Monday, I'll post up some pics then. After that I need to learn how to use it!

tvfreakazoid · 06-04-2010, 04:18 AM

Take some good pics.
When I got my first AR and didn't know anything about them, I spent a great deal of a time on message boards my self. It was a pain in the azzs.
