FN sues Ruger over trademark infringement

Plus, who calls the SFAR the “sfar” like “scar”?? I don’t and wouldn’t. It would be the “S-F-A-R”. As in AR-10. You don’t call it the “are ten”
FN’s attorneys must be bored

Agreed. I smell bovine excrement.

Not even sure if you can find a SCAR in the real world. I gave brief thought to buying one and once I saw the prices + how impossible it was to handle one in person first, I forgot about the idea.

they have more than doubled the cost of the SCAR

Then make a budget version and sell that. More people will buy. (But I don't understand the SCAR so maybe it's not able to do that)

People my age (early 30s) like and bought a SCAR because of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (2009) because it was showcased in it as well as the ACR. PSA is making more or less a budget version, the JAKL and the .308 one might be out later this year according to a podcast with one of the marketing guys.

I'm not sure who could mix those two offerings up.

Some chicken thief attorney, no doubt!

I remember that game and yes that game along with others featured the SCAR. There was a time back then we thought the military was going to go with it, but they ended up not adopting it.
As to whether or not I'll ever get a SCAR; well it wasn't my favored in the game. So probably not because of MW2.
I believe the ACR was featured unusually in Call of Duty but not anywhere else. You don't see alot about it outside of Call of Duty.

FN is producing the High Power. They brought it back a couple of years ago.

More like they brought out an entirely new gun that looks sort of like a BHP.

I understand that many parts interchange between this latest model and the vintage BHP. But yes, there are a lot of newly redesigned parts.

Not to derail, but I think one of the few reasons they decided to axe the SCAR was because of the reciprocating charging handle, would hinder some firing positions.

Well, it is half a pound heavier, so a lot of parts are bigger. The barrel, slide, receiver, magazine, thumb safety, and side stop are different. There is no real reason to use any FN Herstal parts in an FN South Carolina gun.

It's not the same. They brought back a High Power, not the High Power. IMO.
