Looks a bit better in that finish. I wonder if the 5.56 lower on this is the same sizing as the MK16 lower. Don’t have the previous Mk17 5.56 lower from the boxed rifle set to compare.
I see a lot to like here, tho overall, I am not particularly enamored of the various SCAR-type weapons. James Badge Dale is getting quite a bit of coverage, of late, more fodder for ‘13 Hours’ movie bashing.
Yeah. It appears they reused the head from this previous limited quantity release. Perhaps that one didn’t sell out or they wanted to get a bit more mileage out of a sculpt already done.
Saw these before I went to bed last night. I think they’re quite nice. I like the camo version on this release better as well. E&S doesn’t seem to disappoint lately.
After taking another look at the camo SCAR, it appears to use the same camo wash and netting pattern as the HK417 from the French figure. I think I’ll pick up a camo EOTech 553 and magnifier, I’ve never been happy with the Schmidt and Bender PMII optic supplied with that HK417. E&S overuses that scope, and especially those ring mounts - they are more likely to be fitted to a bolt-action rifle with less rail space. E&S has done the PMII in a single-piece mount before, but is far more stingy about releasing it with stuff.
