I don't know why but, it doesnt look very nice

[Inq Eisenhorn]

It also seems to lack some of the features that other high end SCARs seem to come with as standard, like functioning bolt release, no exposed wires in the stock, and an anodized upper. The Trades are a half hearted, only says Herstal and not FN Herstal as it should....and from the photos shown (which are usually very good on UNcompany) it does somehow look cheap.

Fair play to CA for getting their SCAR H out on the market first, but I'd rather wait for either STAR or better still, IMHO, VFC.

Maybe someone can do a review at some point.

The only thing the CA's have going for them is the fact that they retain the basic ergonomics of the scar, albeit loosely, which are extremely nice.

That and the fact that they have an EXCELLENT hopup system and gearbox.

[Inq Eisenhorn]

How does the CA hop and gearbox compare to Tokyo Marui? I always considered CA internals to be competent, but I've never heard of them as being excellent.

It also raises the point, that after having access to models such as the VFC and STAR SCAR, how CA have not opted to up their game in the looks department.

[SWAT_Doc]

it dosnt look all "that" bad.

im looking at picking up a scar H and building me a new DMR platform. i already own the VFC Scar L

i believe ill just be waiting on VFC to release the H.

You should know by now that on the surface it really doesnt appear as though CA gives a damned about how good their replicas look. To date i truly believe that the finest CA replica is the SA58, what a nice piece of work that gun is. Everything else just isnt finished as well. The thing that really ###### me off about this situation is that CA puts together some VERY solid replicas. The only problem is that the surface finish on 99% of them is hideous and wears off just by looking at it.

All of the newer CA guns that come with the CQB style revised gearbox have excellent internals. CA did a great job cloning the systema gearbox and quite frankly, it meets or exceeds the performance of Systemas pre assembled offerings. The only thing that Systema has over the CA unit is that systemas gearsets are a bit better made but the CA's are perfectly serviceable.

There are however two complaints that i have with the CA CQB style gearboxes.

1. They come with an aluminum piston head...why?

2. The nozzles can sometimes be wonky with aftermarket hopup units. Its not uncommon for the nozzles to be too short.

Other than that they're fantastic.

Ive said it before and ill say it again. If you're the kind of airsoft that doesnt give a flying hoot about what your replica looks like you should seriously consider the CA scar line since the hopup design on the guns is one of the most consistent out there.

If you do give a damn and you have any interest at all in overall looks and quality of the finish on the weapon then the VFC scar is for you.

Loosely is the key word here, I think they're quite inferior to VFC/SCAR...not having the folding stock geometry right is just an unforgivable error.

The H looks worse than the L, wrong barrel.

[caleso]

I think in term of the "H" war, I'me going to go for the Star, it just looks right to me and with an eglm package it really closes the deal for me

The cheekpiece issue has been remedied on the H version.

I saw that, hopefully that change works it's way down to the L, too. STAR just made a Gen III cheekpeice available, too, so hopefully EVERYONE's SCAR L will at least look mostly right now. The problem with the CA is the stock still folds in such a way that a right handed grip on the weapon is impeded.

True.

[tshrake521]

Anybody know the main difference between L and H version of the SCAR for airsoft (Don't say barrel caliber... there all 6mm in airsoft!
Besides the trademarks of course

[k30dxedle]

Ok...then besides mags, there's basically none, except EGLM compatibility? Well, except on the STARs. (L has Gen2 cheekpiece, H has Gen3, I don't know why)

....? well the size of the lower receiver between the two variants is probably the first thing you notice.

[RedRaptor]

Oh, do tell. Link PLEASE.

Now maybe someone can get around to releasing spare selector switch sets.

[Pdubyuh]

I think the main thing about the looks is why only in black ??? I can vouch for their internals MY CA SCAR L was only firing at 250 FPS but it was still getting the same range as guns firing up to 350, the hop up is that great. Now its upgraded it should have some awsome range, even with that said i'mstill going tomorrow to get me a VFC scar L hmmmm.

[Shriven]

I'll wait for the STAR or VFC one myself... because it's all about the EGLM!
Hopefully they'll have sorted the tappet plates too!

[Chevieblazer]

aye, and the sealing issues between nozle and hop up. and though i know Americans for some reason love CA, i've heard a lot of complaints about the scar L when it was first released, and i'd take a nice m4-style metal gear box by star or one of them self-shimming-gear-set-boxes by vfc over any CA stuff any day. not to mention the vfc tappet plate is also bendable sideways without breaking...as i accidentally found out...


as for the difference between L and H in airsoft, the H uses the sr-25 mags, which are had to come by other than as high caps

Edited by Chevieblazer, 07 March 2008 - 11:52 AM.

[Shriven]

Christ, thats one thing I didn't think of... Ls take M4 mags.. but will the SCAR Hs all use the same mags? Compability? CA will just leave it at hicaps, VFC probs will too, but STAR will do lows and mids for em.. that might force my hand to buy STAR if they don't fit in VFC.
