FN SCAR question

[Zach]

Hi guys this is my first post here on mdshooters.
Say I were to go a VA local gun shop and notice he has a SCAR for sale.
Now the FN SCAR is not on the ban list, but it does have a folding stock and flash suppressor.

If the dealer were to remove the flash suppressor, could I legally buy it?
What if he removed the suppressor and THEN shipped it to a FFL in MD, so when it arrived at the shop it would be without it.
I know is a stretch, but it is just a for instance.

No need to ship. Without 2 "copycat" features, it is cash and carry from a VA FFL

I guess it's the part of finding a dealer who will remove it for me then.
I figure that any FFL in Maryland can't have any SCAR shipped to them new because they would all come with the stock and suppressor.

A shop could have one shipped to them but couldn't sell it to you unless they swapped out the flash suppressor for a compensator or muzzle break

I got one from engage armament and they swapped the "flash suppressor" for a surefire muzzle break.

That's great to know. Here I was all worked up because I wanted to purchase a FAL.
Guess I need to settle for the SCAR

you really don't need to "swap" right away, just take off the PWS device and purchase with just threaded barrel. Add brake later when you get a chance/cash!

 

[amoebicmagician]

it is NOT a flash suppressor, it is a muzzle brake, and all that is required is to literally unscrew it. This should not be a problem either way. If the guy tells you he isn't comfortable classifying it as a brake, he can remove it in literally 20 seconds.

Yea I heard 2 different dealers that said FNH called it in their sales books or whatever they got a flash suppressor.

Head to Constitutional Firearms; got my SCAR 16 there and had my SCAR 17 shipped to them no problems, great guys. They won't give you any crap.

My SCAR17 is my go-to rifle. I think you will find that you will be very happy with the SCAR.

^+1. I think the weight and balance makes it a bit better than my Sig 716. Both are a hoot to shoot though.
