Seeing how the SCAR 16 is kind of state of the art.... that is the reason for the over-priced part... to me at least.
Is it worth it ? I doubt it.
It still shoots the same 5.56 as an AR15.
An AR15 can be readily altered into a completely different beast simply by changing the upper.... ( .458 SOCOM, 6.8, 6.5 Grendel, 22 LR ... etc)
Or even a lightweight handy carbine or a long, heavy barreled varmint rifle.
I consider the AR15 to be the "small block Chevy" of the rifle world.
Tons of aftermarket parts, and a simple to Gunsmith rifle.
