As most of the regulars know, I've been on the hunt for a scar 16 for a little while now. I finally had a good trade deal for both parties with a member on here who didn't have much of a presence on the forum. I was apprehensive but the members actions quickly changed that. This is also my first .223 rifle so much help is needed from my fellow brothers especially Lester who has been one of the most helpful members to date. Where can I find the best/cheapest deals on solid mags and ammo. Also any helpful tips on anything else are much appreciated as reading through the forum to research myself is a little tough with running my own business and helping my wife with our newborn. God is good

Congrats!

if you go with p mags make sure you mod them and that all generations

oem are good to go. They aren't cheap but once in awhile there is surplus for 20 bucks I loaded up on them at that time

congrats! Look for on line sales on mags. I've had no problems with Lancer, D&H, Brownells. When I'm looking for ammo I uses these ammo trackers to find the best deals.

Congrats on both additions! Lester is THE go to guy, no boutadoubt it. Here are links to a couple of the mags I use:

Metal with Magpul follower, they also have a model with the Magpul Ranger Plates, they aren't FDE but that can be fixed with a rattle can.

FN FDE mags, I got some last year here for less than $20, they edged up after that.

Probably no surprises for you with this tip, but just don't expect stellar consistency and grouping when running bargain basement ammo through the thing such as your typical steel cased Wolf, Tulammo, etc. I'd definitely recommend heavier weight 5.56 brass case ammo when initially playing with it and sighting it in. That'll give you a better idea of it's capabilities and what you can expect out of it. THEN tear up the countryside with the cheap stuff all you want if your ammo budget is tight and you're not necessarily trying to impress the natives or place in a match. And when doubts about your personal abilities start to creep back in, treat yourself to some decent ammo now and again. Keep 'er clean, keep 'er lubed properly, and remember to only use the delicate cycle on 'er with your clothes dryer - you don't want her to shrink. Ba-Bonk! Ba-Bonk! Ba-Bonk!

Congrats!

Congrats! Welcome and all that jazz. I can only vouch for D&H, Brownell's, and NHMTG (Colt) mags. The Magpul Gen III's are good too. NO, to ASC, and C-Products for sure.

 

[Canyon Man]

Congrats on you new rifle, it looks great !
