I haven't updated myself on any new language in a few months now but this is the way I understand it.

If the weapon is featureless a fixed magazine is not necessary.
The mag release is not one of the evil features.

Which means the stock mag release could be reattached and CA bullet button tossed.

Doesn't the gun come stock with a muzzle break and not a flash hider?

I look down the front and see orifice within the muzzle break which normally means muzzle break, not flash hider.

I'm also in the state of California and need to get all my guns ready for registration or neutering

The SCAR 17 brake is listed as "compensator" per FN's product info page. However the PWS brake is advertised as having flash hiding capabilities per PWS, so if those are the laws you're faced with I would not risk the gray area and just install a muzzle brake that doesn't advertise flash hiding feature.

It's a FH.

California compliant registered as an assault weapon or California compliant and not registered as an assault weapon?

I was thinking much the same. I have turned down a few jobs and long term contracts in CA because of the laws there.

SCAR compensator (PWS FSC556) not a Flash Suppressor

It's a FH.

BATFE says its not a FH! http://primaryweapons.com/documents/ATF_FSC556.pdf (FAQ page on PWS' website if the link doesn't show)

I suppose the hardline could be this is only for that specific year/make/model, but might argue that a reasonable conclusion that the same/similar design in different calibers should also not be a Flash Suppressor.

FSC=flash suppressing compensator. Worth the risk to argue semantics using a BATFE letter that can be reneged at any time, in the state of Kalifornia? :th_shrug:

Nothing reasonable about California. It's pretty easy to argue it's advertised as a FH.

Ok, no more arguments... from PWS (emailed to me this morning...), " For your info here is the answer… The BATFE letter is accepted across the country and from discussions with lawyers and other professionals the MOD2 version is covered under the letter as all MOD1 versions were as well.
Everywhere but CA accepts that the FSC series is a muzzle brake and not a flash hiding device; CA DOJ, on the other hand, has classified the FSC as a flash hider due to the name of the product and it cannot be used in CA on a featureless build, it is only acceptable on a CA registered firearm.
PWS does not make any muzzle device currently which can be used on a featureless build in CA; all our offerings are considered flash hiding devices by CA DOJ."

CA Sucks!

There is the option of not complying. It should be thought through and considered - our rights as U.S. Citizens are clear and clearly delineated in the Constitution. We have the right to keep and to bear arms. They cannot enforce massive resistance by an educated public.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[fmxmyway]

How do you make you SCAR "California compliant" for 2017? Leave your guns in AZ or NV. Why reward a state financially when they use semantics to go-around the 2nd amendment? Just because the state is doing it doesnt mean its legitimate, often times its not. Buy a residence in AZ or NV and keep your investments there. It really doesn't take a lot of money, especially compared to California.

 

[300blkout]

Don't comply, simple.

Are there any muzzle brakes that work well with the SCAR and enhance the flash less than other muzzle brakes?

Are there any tests of the flash produced by different muzzle brakes?

Hi everyone, I’m new to this Forum. A friend and SCAR owner invited me to join and tell you about my solution for the SCAR 16/17s in California. I make a product called the FC Hook for AR15/AR10s that converts them into a Fixed Magazine allowing the rifle to keep evil features. I just finished and field tested a prototype for the FN SCAR. It works perfectly. It turns the SCAR into a Fixed Magazine and you cannot remove the magazine without disassembling the action.

This will be an excellent solution for you SCAR owners and you won’t have to make your SCARs featureless.

We don’t know when our new SCAR version of the FC Hook will be available for sale. We are having trouble with finding a supplier to sell us the original magazine Catches, Buttons, and Roll Pins at a reasonable price that is not five times more than the reasonable retail cost. Without naming any names, I’ve only been able to find one authorized FN parts distributor. And neither FN or their parts distributor are willing to sell us the parts at wholesale prices. Our current challenge is trying to make our own FN mag catch, and button to build the FC Hook with. We are working to resolve this road block.

Sign up on our website, also our Instagram and YouTube channel so you will get the latest update on the SCAR FC Hook.

You’ll see photos on Instagram first, then a video on YouTube, followed by introductory pricing coupon code from our website email subscriber system.

Hopefully I’ll have an update in a about a month.

I have no affiliation with the last poster but for you guys trying to go featureless keep an eye on these regs. They haven't been tied to anything as of yet so it's hard to track them, but there's a lot of gut and amend bills that are prime options for them.

Essentially they're trying to make featureless into "Assault Weapons" as well if it's not fixed magazine meaning it would require registration or conversion anyway.

Do not comply.
