At $299 its twice the price of a RE-SCAR, and even more expensive than a Magpul PRS. It feels like someone actually took their time to make this thing right, not that it was mass produced in a hurried fashion. Specifications: KDG SAS Stock for the SCAR Rifle At $299 a pop, these are actually more expensive than a Magpul PRS stock. Kinetic Development Group are a new company on the scene, but they are putting out some beautiful and functional pieces of tactical artwork. Uhh… We should probably wrap this up then. Weight savings is critical on a rifle, and every ounce matters, but they did it in a way that doesn’t throw off the balance of the gun at all. The stock weighs in at 15.2 ounces, which is 1/4 pounds less than a regular Ugg boot style SCAR stock. Its here that you notice another wonderful feature, namely the weight. It works as you’d expect a stock to work, and better than the RE-SCAR to be honest. Even on a SCAR 17, there’s not really any play and the stock just stays put. Out on the range, the stock feels solid as can be. This brings the total number of shades of FDE on my gun up to four, as even the magazine is a different color. As I’ve said before, no two SCARs are actually ever the same color, so matching the stock to your specific SCAR might not be possible. Speaking of appearances, the colors probably won’t match your gun. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the gun holder, so your mileage may vary. The stock is a direct copy of the one on the Bushmaster ACR (formerly the Magpul Masada), which is fine because that’s a beautiful gun. What you’re really paying for is the style. There’s also some storage space in there for CR123 batteries. I’ve gone through two SCAR stocks due to those smaller teeth breaking off with (admittedly heavy) use, and one chunkier tooth should do the job better. Another benefit is in the chunkier hinge mechanism, which uses one large tooth instead of the two smaller teeth as on the original. It makes the stock much easier to manipulate, and won’t wear anything out. The original stock interfaces with the shell deflector on the rifle to stay folded, but this one just uses good old spring power. The main difference between the original SCAR and this stock is that when folded, this stock doesn’t rely on anything to keep it folded. It also folds up, just like the FN original. There are also some new features baked in as well, like a set of QD cups in the rear of the stock for your sling. The stock is adjustable for length of pull, and has a cheek rest that pops up to give you a better sight picture with higher optics. The SAS SCAR Stock is a drop-in replacement for the original SCAR stock, and has most of the same features. There are replacement stock adapters out there already like the VLTOR Re-SCAR that will let you mount a standard AR-15 stock on the SCAR, but if you’re looking for a SCAR specific solution then KDG has just the treat. Like I said, it more closely resembles an Ugg boot than anything else. That stock works acceptably well, but it just doesn’t look very good. First, a reminder of how the SCAR looks when it comes from the factory.
