SCAR 17s 30 round mags

[slog403]

Ok so I know no importing into MD, recieve, transfer etc.

However find SCAR 17S (7.62x51 NATO) 30 round mags seems to be pretty tricky. There is a youtube guy that has a pmag supposidly converted to run this but not many other details.

So Chad, or any other gunsmith/SCAR experts know exactly what needs to be done. I can get my hand on FN SCAR 17S 20 round mags no prob, just need to know what too look for and trust out of state. Seems to be a pretty new market, if you have tips on 50-100+ round mags as well that would be cool. I would never violate MD laws as I respect this site and state.

Thanks Smiths and SCAR fans. I know Chad hates dremels and thats all that was on youtube so if I get a real solution I may bargin and/or barter some time on "the farm" at which you can shoot whatever the hell you want at whatever the hell you can dream of! feel free to PM as well if this should goto WC or strictly PM but be ready to make it work on the farm

308 goodness usually comes 20 rounds at a time... embrace it.

I know but i wish to unleash 30 rounds of hell

POF makes a 25 rounder for the 308 AR platform...

I wouldn't worry about it; 20 rounds out of a SCAR 17 is ALOT of fire and brimstone.

There is a 25 rounder available for the 17s. Have yet to see a 30 rounder that will work with the stock receiver.

On the other hand I know a guy on fnforum.net who makes/modifies 17s receivers to fit pmags.

30 rounds of .308 will be pretty heavy too.

You still can't buy a 25 rounder in MD^

I would personally stick with the factory 20 rounders. The 20 round mags are based off the FAL magazine, which have worked well for decades.

Any magazine you have to take a Dremel to in order to get it to work properly is not worth your time or money. The magazine is obviously very important to the semi-automatic rifle. If the ammunition can't feed properly, the cycle of operation stops. No fun at the range, while hunting, or especially in life or death situations.

Personally, I don't own any firearms I wouldn't trust with my life. If things go downhill and I can only grab one weapon I don't want to be stuck with the "project". I fix guns for a living, I don't want to have to fix mine during normal operation.... Jerry-rigged mags seem like a fast track to trouble, IMO.

Ha heavy...haha. Try lugging an M240B with a belt in it, then those ten extra rounds in a scar compatible mag will seem like a feather.

Thanks smores, that was my gut instinct, especially after investing so much in a nice weapon. I guess I have learned a thing or 2 hanging around here.

I agree with Smores.

On a Seperate note I hate FALs.

Yeah i have heard they were made as more of a mass combat rifle than anything. I guess that and the fact they tend to spontaneously combust around anyone who is british could be a draw back.
