I have wanted a SCAR L type AEG rifle for a while now to add to my collection as I already have a load of M16 mags, and this would be a bit different from my M4s, but I wanted to get one on the cheap
.
I came across the Classic Army ISSC SCAR Mk22. This is an airsoft rifle licensed to CA by ISSC and is a replica of their civilian SCAR Mk22 rifle which fires a .22LR round instead of a military 5.56mm round. It has authentic ISSC trades on it.
Externally it looks like a SCAR L Mk16 except it has longer side rails, a smaller ejection port, a slightly modified stock and a couple of raised areas on the outside of the mag well. It takes M16 Stanag mags and at £180 from Airsoft World it was just what I was looking for. Seems to have a pretty good gearbox and motor, has an inline mosfet which is also wired into the trigger, and a 6.03 barrel as standard. It runs nicely on a 7.4v LiPo.
The majority of the body is a really tough feeling reinforced nylon polymer, but there is also plenty of metal in there too, so it is not light (especially after I added the Elcan to it lol).
Comes as the CQB version, but I added a 4" barrel extension as I prefer the look of the carbine length weapon. Because of the increased outer barrel length I changed the inner barrel from the 280mm 6.03mm one that came with the gun for a Prometheus 363mm 6.03mm barrel which it seems to cope with with no problems.
Whilst I had the barrel out I upgraded to my standard set up of a Prowin hop unit, Prometheus purple bucking modded for flat hop and a Firefly Namazu flat hop nub which has increased the range a fair bit.
I already had the sights and bits and bobs kicking about which are on the gun except for the additional Eotech 552 clone for closer range stuff which is a cheap Amazon buy. I also put some of those US military iD barcode sticker things on to try and kid myself that it looks more like a Mk16 SCAR L than it actually does. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I know that this is not really a SCAR copy but for now this will do me as a SCAR L looking AEG rifle.
