Design patents.
PSA or anybody can make a direct copy of any gun that is old enough where all the parents on it are expired, which only last ~20 years.
Although most of what the SCAR consists of has existed longer, there are what are called "design patents" which covers the exact design and configuration for the parts used. You could make a copy of the gun that kinda looks like it and functions the same way, but having it exactly the same with interchangeable parts to the original could result in a lawsuit.
eh. I'm married with more guns than you think a civilian would ever own, man.
I just think if you're going to expend the effort to carry the weight of a SCAR, it should be in a battle rifle caliber.
But you do you, noguns.
With bells and whistles it weighs as much as an AK both loaded. That's fucking retarded for a 5.56 cartridge rifle. Especially one that beats it's optics to death routinely
If it's PSA price levels for something fun and different why not? I'd get the .308 but I wouldn't judge someone for the 5.56. Getting a PSA AK is fine and those are more expensive
They have
when exactly does the SCAR patent expire? no joke I expect PSA or maybe even Kek-Tek to try something with it.
>when exactly does the SCAR patent expire?
the same day FNH renews it
so you're telling me there may be a multi-hour window of opportunity? I like those odds
They should call it SCAB
or SCAT
would but the SCAT-88

he's a big guy

wut
I think he's trying to say if you're going to use a scar it should be the 308 version.
Yeah, but it's light?
