Our guys got to evaluate the SCAR series (MK16, 17 and 13) late last year. A lot of them had to be forced to carry them at different phases of ULT like Land Warfare. General consensus is the guys didn't like them. Units arrived with stocks broken from shipping. A buddy even jammed his 17 by having his left thumb in the way of the CH.
A question that keeps popping up is how is the barrel considered "free float"
when the bottom rail is attached to it? If you mounted a grip-pod to it, would you not be exerting minor upwards pressure on the barrel?
Doesn't free float imply that the only area the barrel is in contact with another component (not including the gas block/tube) is the receiver itself?
