This is the first I've heard of this happening in my reseraching, how common is this issue with the new generation Scars?

It's really easy to fully customize the SCAR at least, and make it suitable for whatever role you want to use it for.
My plan was to order some replacement parts to have on hand and repair in field just like you've said. And the level of customization is one of the reasons I'm leaning towards the Scar more, just isn't a whole lot of rails on the pdw and I think for a first GBBR (I have a TM M4RIS as well) the ability to do more with it would make sense, then pick up the pdw or something later.

Thanks for the input guys, greatly appreciated. I am hoping to get out and play tomorrow, one of the guys in our group has the we pdw that I can try out and also has an aeg scar so I can get an idea for how it is ergonomically anyway, but the technical information is almost more important

Edit: Also, I plan on running co2 predominately but wouldn't mind a couple gg mags around. Any idea where a good place to find the 2nd gen ones is? I've looked on Evike and ASGI and neither specify.
