This morning I attended a 600 yard prone match. I took the FN SCAR-16S and the Spike’s 5.45 midlength. I was pretty pleased with how each rifle performed. More than a few people looked at me funny when I pulled the SCAR out of the rifle case and got on the line with shooters who [...]

Thanks to a member of FNForum.net (and a member of both FNForum.net and M4Carbine.net who did some legwork), I’ve been loaned an FNH-USA SCAR-16S. I’ll be doing high speed video later today, with a review to follow.

I’ll be putting a good portion of that through my pre-production T&E Spike’s 5.45 tomorrow, and more over the weekend. I’ll be recording all of the shooting. I don’t expect any [...]

Rather than simply [...]

I’ve added a wide variety of parts and will continue to add more in the future. The original calculator will still be available for those who have a configuration not listed in the [...]

I hear this all the time – “What’s the big deal? The difference is only a few ounces.” This is usually followed up by some sort of admonition to stop being a weakling and start lift weights. Well, ounces add up. See the Spike’s rifle at the top of the screen? As pictured, it weighs [...]
