After handling a team-mates Scar-H that I built him a while ago, I had been lusting after the new TM Scar's ever since. Since I already have too many .308 rifles in my arsenal, I decided that I'd go the Scar-L CQC myself.

I'll be keeping it stock except for a flashider/silencer, and maybe a flat hop mod, and a light spring upgrade eventually. These things are only shooting 280fps w/ .20g stock and still send .30g out so much further than your mind tells you they should. Its hard to justify cracking it open to upgrade it when they shoot so damn well...

I also love the fact that it locks the bolt back when your magazine is empty, and will not fire until you replace the mag with a fresh mag, and then hit the ping pong paddle to release the bolt again.

One gripe, and its a major gripe, was the flash hider was obviously removed by Ehobbyasia when they were painting the flash hider. They cross-threaded it when they put it back on, and severely damaged the threads. Was quite pissed when I removed it to put on my steel flash hider. A little bit of thread locker and all is well, however. Just disappointing when $750 is spent on an AEG only to have it arrive with stripped barrel threads.

Here she is, fresh off the boat from Japan... via Hong Kong...



With the QD scar silencer attached, along with my Elcan SpectreDR. Ain't she a beaut?








Update:

It lasted a day.. I had to crack open the body to see the insides. I guess building custom rifles for too many years has led me to just not be able to leave well enough alone... I found a strange variation from the Scar-L to the Scar-H... while the gearboxes appear identical, the Scar-L has plastic bushings while the Scar-H has metal ones. Even the nozzles appear roughly the same, it seems that the placement of the BB feed on the scar-h's magazine compensates for its extra length so that they did not have to redesign anything internally or mostly externally with the exception of the lower reciever.

Here is a little comparison of the two. Poor lighting but you get the general idea. They are pretty close in overall length, just the addition of the EGLM on the Scar-H hides the fact that it takes 308 magazines instead.

Shortened trigger pull mods for all P* engines.

It shortens the stock trigger pull length from 7 mm down to as low as 1.5mm. It feels like the weapon has a competition trigger, the slight squeeze of your finger makes it fire.

However, it should not negligently discharge as it still requires deliberate pressure to actually engage. The standard safety still works as it should as well.

$25 for this mod if you drop off your bare engine with me. Slightly more if I have to strip your weapon.

Also offering generic Polarstar Fusion engine installs on standard M4/M16/M249/M240b/AK47/G36 platforms for $50.

Can provide you with a brand new Polarstar Fusion engine for way below what others advertise theirs at if you do not have your own.  PM for details if you are serious about it.

Blind firing rules are there for safety sake. If you cannot see your target you shouldn't just blindly spray and pray because of the risk of hurting someone if they happen to be right at the end of your barrel around the corner from you.

So using a product like this, I'm curious how many people would have a problem with it? My vote is, it creates a safe way to use a weapon at odd firing angles and therefore should be allowed at games. I plan on using one on my upcoming real steel build.

Curious what others think?

Hey all, update with the latest addition to DC OPS' arsenal: A Deepfire AT-4 rocket launcher.

Its powered by 40mm grenades that are loaded in the rear of the tube. Other than that, the firing of it is identical to the real deal, including redundant safeties including a functional transportation safety pin.

Very cool piece of gear.

Only flaw is the cocking handle is a weak point as well as cheap quality labels.

The cocking handle on this one broke after 2 uses. I made a new one, and you can't tell much difference unless you've handled a real AT4 IMO.

Hey all,

My name is Richard. Our airsoft team DC OPS has been together since 2000. Our members have various backgrounds, including Army, Navy, private security, and law enforcement.  DC OPS is recruiting 18+ year old players who want to be part of a professional team of airsofters.

To clarify: These are not requirements. It is just a list of various backgrounds of team members which we already have. Your background is irrelevant to whether we want you or not.

Our main focus is outdoor field games, in places such as Mt. Ord, Four Peaks, Sasco, Strawberry, Flagstaff, Bushnell Tanks (if it ever re-opens), Missile Tanks, and other locations. We, to a lesser extent, do CQB in places like UAC as well.

We've hosted various successful games in the past, and plan on hosting more in the coming months and years.

We need people who are willing to show up to team training events and games, and have fun doing it. We have uniform and other standards, but don't let that distract you. Even if you are new to airsoft, don't worry, we can teach you what you need to know. We are looking for people who want to learn, and be part of a team, and work together to be the best.

Most important, however, is we want to get along with you. We're looking for easy going players, ones we could have a beer together with after a game and tell war stories and have a good laugh.

We have team loaner guns, including Magpul Masada PTS's, Systema MK12 MOD1 SPR sniper, A&K M60E1, Classic Army MG36E grenadier, AT4 rocket launchers, and others, to help you try out other roles that might interest you, without having to spend your own money to figure it out, be it sniping, squad gunner, etc. We also have loaner tac equipment too, as needed.

Come check us out at www.dc-ops.com and feel free to post here or PM me, or email me at nukeduster@dc-ops.com with any questions.

Was debating putting the polarstar in a SCAR, but  nostalgia got the better of me. This is one of the first airsoft rifles I have ever owned, picked it up back in 2004. Its a Classic Army full metal Sar Taktik II (G3 SG1).

So here she is, upgrades include a 6.03mm stainless steel prometheus inner barrel, madbull hopup bucking, custom bipod mounting pin and harris bipod, HK low profile mount and a bushnell 3-9x40 scope.



UPDATE 07/03/2012: Decided I wanted to use my polarstar G3 for the upcoming lionclaws game, so I de-tuned it to 350FPS w/ .25's and painted it Ranger Green. Swapped the scope for an Eotech which I color matched to the weapon.

Also I finished building a custom selector plate for the G3, it now has select fire. So it has single shot, and 3 round burst (user selectable from 3-9 round or full auto) now. Had to modify the body of the gearbox itself slightly to remove the M4 selector plate guide rail and the screw that holds it on, and then moved the mounting screw further back on the gearbox.

Total time, about 6 hours.



NEW UPDATE 09/10/2012:

Wanted to still have the rifle be able to do more roles, and was getting jealous of all the AR-15 platform guys out there with their ability to swap uppers, so I went ahead and got a MC51 upper for CQB use.

So now it has a 9" barrel upper for CQB, and 19.5" outer barrel for sniping and heavy assault, depending on what FPS and ROF settings are used.

Still working on making a HK11E style stock and bipod to convert it into a Machine Gun.
