I would have taken some surface off the stock before I started grinding on the gun, but if it fit and it works I guess all's well that ends well.
SCAR stock fitting problem
Hi there,
I finally picked up my SCAR stock today. Great stock, well worth waiting 2 years for it to come to europe
But now there comes the problem. I tried to put in my 195 serie Ranch Rifle and it just wont go down all the way. I could not engage the trigger mechanism.
So I read the instructions again on the Clyde Armory website and gave it another try.
Not working again.
As I looked closely into the stock I saw sliding marks where the lower receiver fits in. And the same marks an the receiver itself. So I took my dremel with a polishing wheel and polished the surfaces of my receiver. :wacko:
Yeah scary I know but I was carefull not to take any material away. I really just polished the surface.
I tried again but again no use. The receiver just didn't go all the way down. Next step was spraying some gun oil into the stock where the receiver settles.
The result was better but not enough. Still no way getting the trigger in. Again some polishing and the last 2mm were done by a rubber hammer. Now I could engage the trigger and the gun seems to fuction fine.
Question is : Did anyone have similar problems with the SCAR ?
Best regards
Marcus

Hi SiggeZagg,
if the EU "assault rifle look-a-like ban" gets through you would waste money on that stock.
That said I highly encourage you to sign that petition :
Petition against European Union assault weapons ban
So about the stock ....
I just checked my source and he doesn't have them in stock anymore. Sorry.
If you are really interested you can drop him a mail. His Name is Christian Wampach and the name of his business is LuxGuns.
The look and feel of this stock is outstanding. As is the weight
It's more than heavy. It's heavier than the H&K G3 of a friend.So if you are just getting it for the looks (like me) it's well worth the money. Everything else can be achieved by other stocks as well.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Regards
Marcus
