    I'm in the market for an FN SCAR 17S FDE and I've been watching gun broker like a hawk over the past 2 weeks. I've seen 17S FDE's selling for around $3300 - $3500 so naturally when I stumbled onto this I was shocked:

    https://delta3outfitters.com/store/products/FN-SCAR-308WIN-16"-FDE-20RD.html

    I was able to add the SCAR to my cart but haven't purchased yet. My concern is that this might not actually be a 17S. The title just indicates ".308". The black one they have for sale however does indicate "17S" in it's title.

    I could be just being paranoid but I am concerned and definitely want to know what the deal is before I try to buy it.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks guys,

    Danny

    I was wondering them same thing about Delta 3. I have had a few M&P22 mags on order with them and my order still states "pending payment". I sent an email on Saturday asking for an update but no response back yet. My Credit Card has not been charged and there have been no calls from the fraud department so Im keeping my fingers crossed.

    I did some poking around on Google and apparently those guys do not have live online inventories and they are horrible at resopnding to emails. People have put in orders with them and have not received anything for weeks. When the people who put orders in finally get in touch with them, they find out that they were authomatically put on a "back ordered" list without their consent.

    Looks too good to be true.

    Their site doesn't show any inventory status for their items... doubt they have anything available.

    It does look too good to be true, because they don't show being out of stock of ANYTHING that they carry. I saw S&W 686's fitting what I'm looking for there showing available that NOBODY has.
