It definitely passes the coolness test.
I've read several other articles about this and believe its an idea that is past due. The M16 is just too fragile.
My opinion based on what I hear, and owning one.
They are fun to shoot and accurate, but hard to maintain.

One wonders why the capability to change out the barrel and fire Ak47 rounds?

What are the chances of having the barrels on hand when only AK rounds are available.

This seems more like an option to sell it to foreign armys, which seems inadvisable these days.

FN entry..not the politcal clout but privately owned American companies with some great ideals

The 'Operators' wanted the side-folding stock to cover the ejection port and charging handle when folded?

Whatever. Looks like a updated slab-side FN-FNC.

I say 'Meh'.

The new 6.8 round seems to have respectable ballistics, superior to the 5.56. But I'm old fashioned, I still like my FN-FAL in .308.

Some features:

Bolt locks back after the last round is fired.

Angled axis of stock pivot puts the folded stock out of the way of the ejection port, allowing firing when folded.

5.56 accepts M16 mags.

Gas operated (yecch!)

Odd, a shorter barrel for the .308 than for .223.

Incidentally, re: .223, it's illegal to hunt deer with .223 in many states. "You don't need to be loaded for bear to go to war, but you should at least be loaded for whitetail."

"CAR-H can be quickly converted to fire AK-47 ammo (the 7.62x39 round) with a changeout of the barrel and receiver.

Well ... I suppose that with a change out of the barrel and receiver, my Ruger 10/22 could in theory fire a five inch naval round.

The 7.62 x 51 variant of the SCAR has a barrel that is too short for me. With the model shown the barrel can't be longer than 14 inches. That would be some nasty muzzle blast with 7.62 x 51.

I would like to see a picture of the 7.62 x 39 variant of the SCAR.
