The 5.56mm SCAR-L weighs 7.7 pounds (empty), while the 7.62mm SCAR-H weighs 8.5 pounds (empty). A 30 round 5.56mm magazine weighs a little under a pound, while a 20 round magazine of 7.62mm ammo weighs a little over a pound. Special sights can weigh a pound or two, so a fully loaded SCAR won't weigh much more than ten pounds.

My Eagle Arms AR carbine weighs 6.8 pounds (empty), almost a full pound lighter than the L, and my IMBEL/DSA FAL carbine comes in at 9.0 pounds (empty), only about a half pound heavier than the H. Funny that they couldn't make 'em lighter...

Yea, but you have to clean out the crud in the receiver. Buy the wrong ammo and you have a real mess.
