VFC scar (mk16/17) Owners

[Mandalore]

Why not get them from eHobby?

I can't quite remember. I believe you need to dremmel/file down the back of the mag where it enters the magwell, and/or you can file the rib on the back of the magwell in the gun itself. Just do a quick search with google and see what comes up. I know a few people who have done it and it doesn't seem too hard to do at all really.

hmm. well i save 6 bucks on the mag but not sure on the shipping. and depending on the amount i order i can get free shipping from gi.

[Mandalore]

It's all up to you man. I only recommend looking around and price checking what you buy. Every bit you save counts!

[silentownage001]

yup.

was there ever an eglm for the vfc scar? theres stuff on google mostly from a few years ago.

[Mandalore]

Hell yeah there is! I want one terribly.

[silentownage001]

found it on gi. 130 bucks and it comes with a trigger module for the L and H

downside is the black front part of it is orange, the entire thing....

[Gunny_McSmith]

Just got my VFC scar-h

And I noticed that my front sight/gas block wobbles alot!

Is it just me, or some of you guys ahve this problem too?

[silentownage001]

never heard of that happening but cant help ya. sorry. anyway get some pics posted

edit: i looked at a pic and if you look at the front sight from the side at the bottom theres 2 small circular things. maybe pins? beneath that theres a larger circle with a small hole in it. maybe it can turn? otherwise i cant see why the front sight is loose.

[Gunny_McSmith]

Fixed: turns out there's a small set screw under the hidden tool that prevents the wobble on the front gas block!

[silentownage001]

that makes sense so it would be out of sight. bit weird though

I just finished installing the mosfet, + rewiring the stock!

Raptor fet was almost a drop in install, (only had to round off some edges because of the mold marks on the vfc shell, really minor modification is needed)

Also, you'll have to salvage those female bullet connectors for the connector part of the lower receiver,

1) take off old trigger assembly and remove headshrink
2) pull out the small aluminum prong (to expose the brass female connector (you also get 2 same connectors in the wiring for the stock, since its a 2 part wiring (picture is the one from the stock, but its to show you the brass connector))




3) cut off the female bullet connector
4) take new wire, pass it through the hole (in the middle of the connector)
5) bend it back (like a hook)
6) solder

You should end up with something like this:



7) heatshrink
8) put the spring back, and then the aluminum prong

and VoilÃ*!

PS: when looking from the back of the gun the Red wire goes left, and the black one goes right!

And now, for the rewiring of the stock

You'll need something to punch those rollpins out! (since they are fairly long, and they are 2 in the hinge assembly (with a washer between them, to prevent shortage)
I highly recommend a roll pin punch (I used a 5/32" one (a 4mm one should work too)) because if you try to punch these with something else... it will destroy them (i know from experience)
You can get a set like this one : Lyman Roll pin punch set (LINK)


1) strip the gun, and take the buttstock off
2) unscrew the bottom allen screw and slide the back postion of the stock out
3) punch the rollpins out
4) separate the hinge from the front stock assembly (the one with the cheekrest)
5) your wires should come out as well (if not, just take this piece off, and pull the wires out (see pic))



6) cut wire from the ring connector



7) place new wire on it, and solder!



8) reassemble (red wire on top, black at bottom)

TIP: to reassemble the hinge + wire, first it looks too tight, and that it will never fit without sanding, but thats not true!
You'll need to hold the ring connectors with the hinge plate, and, while still holding, slide the hinge + connectors onto the stock! (took em a while to figure out)
BTW: dont forget the part from step 5! (its for separating the wires)


PS: sorry for the partial pictures... its because everything is already reassembled in my gun.... (but if something isnt clear to you, just ask!)

And now, for the Magpul 20lr mod!

As you can see in the picture, there's a small thinggy sticking out of the magwell, this is the cause of the mags not fitting,





So you now have 2 options,

1) sand it down
2) mod the magazines

To be honest, I'd rather mod the mags then the receiver (cheaper if you mess up )

For the mod, all you need to do is :

1) disassemble the mag (optional, but recommended)
2) locate where you have to cut off
3) dremel that thing out
4) test for fitment
5) reassemble mag and Enjoy!

PS: I know it doesnt look nice, but who cares? its hidden inside magwell)





Here's my freshly upgraded gun! (all i need now are the xt60 conenctors, and lipos! )



BTW: if you ever mess up you can always order spare parts from WGC shop, or ask Optix (airsoftgear.ca) to order some for you

wow...... stocks aren't restricted parts right, i can order one from the us, right. because for this project i'm gonna want two.

[Gunny_McSmith]

not they arent, but might be easier to work with a disassembled stock rather then an assembled one...

i know, i just want a second one so well i'm upgrading it my scar i can still game it.

[Daiviet]

Beauty, thanks for the write up Gunny. How the fit in for the 20LR's in the magwell? tight, or loose enough so they fall out? cuz the stupid hi-cap sits way too tight in my magwell...

I'm probably gonna go the route of modifying the receiver rather than the mags, stupid VFC trying to make their shit proprietary.
