Anything I missed? Let me know!

Got myself a WE Scar L last summer and I love this thing. Such a great feeling to play with. And there is always someone on the field, who wants to try it.

I worked a few months as an Airsoft gunsmith. Out of all WE GBBRs, SCAR Ls were the easiest to fix and deal with.

*Regarding the screw, the correct replacement machine screw size you're looking for is 10-32 x 3/4in. You're still required to cut 1/4in. off the screw to achieve the shorter, original 2/4in. in length. You'll also need to shave off a bit from the head depending on which head type you get. Unfortunately, you can't purchase the exact size anywhere (from what I've gathered searching online).* *If you'd like to take on the project yourself you'll at least need things like a vice, a hacksaw, a file and one correctly fitting nut. This nut is used as a reference to cut and to prevent the screw from moving out of place and damaging the threads while seated tightly in place with a vice. If you're in possession of a vice with screw slots you may be able to accomplish this task without using any nuts. These nuts are also used to help clear out the threads from debris after cutting the screw shorter and filing down the cut end smoother. I personally acquired screws with head sockets for use with hex keys, but other head types will work as well (albeit some are better than others) as long as the diameter and pitch measurements are identical to what I've specified earlier (that being 10-32).* If you're in the US, you can conveniently find these screws at the local hardware store, Home Depot or Lowe's. Of course, you may be more inclined to order them online given the current circumstances with the still present Covid-19 virus wondering about. To which I'd imagine everyone wishes this troublesome pandemic would be done with by now. As for the springs that came along with the original pos screws throw them away. They're useless after you put the replacements in. The reason why the original screws are the shitty way they are is because they house the springs so they don't fall out when you loosen them. Still, it's fucking ridiculous. Whoever thought this screw was a great idea should be shot... *With lead.*

Learned a lot of this info the hard way after owning and modding/repairing a We Scar L over the course of an year. But once it's all done, a super solid platform. Great video for people buying a new We Scar L!

So glad I found this channel before my WE Scar H arrives, very excellent knowledge has been attained because of you. Thank you so much. Looking forward to more videos on maintaining GBBRs.

Very interesting, I was about to buy one and I'll do nearly everything you recommend, thank you for sharing your experience, the way you explain each point is very clear and detailed

Got mine just a month ago and I've found this video. I did everything as shown, besides Npas (yet to be done). Thanks, man, very helpful!

You should check out the Maxtact SCARAB aluminum outer barrel. It makes my scar L super lightweight and it pretty much fixes the issue where the barrel moves forward from the bolt hitting it. It also hold the hop up in place with three screws instead of just one which is supposed to make it more accurate

This is the video what i looking for. Thanks for this video.

Such a beautiful gun though, All of the GBBR's you guys have look amazing!

Hey man! I know this video is old. I watched this video because I really wanted to buy a SCAR-H but didn't know what brand to start with (I'm very new to all this) so as of Mar/9/23 I bought the WE SCAR-H GBBR! I am going to watch this video again an follow your every step to ensure I won't destroy my gun! I also bought the Umarex G19X aswell! So I want to thank you for this information! Very helpful!

I have owned one of these for a while and I encountered the same issue with the stock bolt as you did with the breakage so I swapped to an aluminium aftermarket bolt and it makes the response much snappier and due to the decent weight loss better for wear and tear

Thats like best review I ever seen

considering we can only have gel blasters in some states of Australia, and that we recently got WE GBB pistols, i really really hope we get WE GBBRs very soon

brilliant review mate buying it friday and you taught me a lot, thanks

I love it! Want one!. Awesome video and thanks for the tips what you should do with it if you have one and where the problems are. It really helps alot.

Super video! Mám v plánu si pořídit H a nemůžu se dočkat! Kouknu na všechny potřebné rady! SF!

Very nice and informative, thank you very much!

Thanks for the video, it’s very helpful. I myself jave bought the WE Scar L, love the gun. Gotta say I use this video as a starting reference for any problem I need to solve regarding the gun. But there’s one thing I’m curious about - where could I buy the longer barrel? I’m not a huge fan of the whort one and I’d love to switch to the longer one but honestly - I’ve no idea where to buy it. Thanks for any advice!

Great video and information. Thank you.

I put the new screws in the hand drill and kept a vile against it, works perfect. Chemical blued afterwards.

Getting this as my first gbbr and my second airsoft gun

Always liked the SCAR H better than the one that takes the M4 mags thought about doing a DMR build but with a HPAed AEG model... But FCC is releasing a SCAR PTW around summer time but they're also releasing a PCC PTW around the same time so I'm in a bit of a pickle

Nice video man!

Great video, agree on all points. One thing you missed is the stock retractable mechanism is sometimes not locking positively, the way to fix it is to bend a few tabs on the inside of the stock, there are some videos out there showing it. If you dont do this you might find that when you fire while pressing the gun hard against your shoulder it will move back in, happens more often on full auto, not that you should be using that [...] Another issue that most people wont have is that the grip mounting system is badly engineered, tightening the grip to a fair strength will make the nut on the lower receiver star smushing the plastic, because it does not have good enough contact patch to hold the tension. Also the nut size is not correct for real steel grips. The easy solution is to remove the trigger group, with a drill bore out the original hole and drill the rest of the way into the receiver, then you can get a normal hex head bolt, thread it into the plastic from the inside of the receiver and then attach the grip with a nut on the inside. This will be extremely secure because you will be using a larger diameter bolt and you are able to tighten it a lot more (not that you need much more usually) Also it does not interfere with the trigger group. One slight improvement is to loosen the set screw on each side of the fire mode selector and push the selector in, so that you dont have a big gap between the receiver and selector, aditionally this will make each click a bit more positive/louder, as I find at least moving it into safe is a bit vague when wearing gloves. One "issue" that some people might have due to loose tolerances, the bolt catch wobbles a bit and depending on how bad your gun is and specific magazines, it might fail to lock back on empty. Simply remove the bolt catch pin, add a gearbox shim on the side of the selector and pin it back, it will no longer wobble but will still move freely. Am currently curious about the AK lineup, would be great if you could get a hold of one to analyze hopup system, etc... The main draw I see is that the WE AK mags can easily last for 3-4 BB full loads, which is very impressive. Especially since I think there are 40 and 50rd versions (probably just a spacer on the inside like the stanags)

I have only put the Ratech steel trigger unit but I could not find the Scar-l version so I bought the Scar-h version. Everything but the sear fits perfectly. Much more crisp but it still has the full auto on semi problem. If I’m not mistaken the Angel custom G36 steel sear is a fit for We Scar rifles. A bit more money but if you cannot find a machine shop and you’re willing to bear with the price, I would not mind trying it out

I have the heavy version (as in 7.62 not weight), that one doesn't come with that stupid unthreaded screw. Those two top screws in the carrier came so torqued down, I just left them be (and hopefully won't forget to check them periodically). But other screws will loosen on the Sc-H too. The gun indeed has a fat forend but I like to use a vertical grip anyway. The reason you don't want to put your finger in the way of the charging handle is not because the gun will malfunction but because if it hits you in an unlucky angle it will hurt like a motherf.... don't ask me how I know. The sling points are indeed very small, I use keychain rings, but paracord may even be better, I'll give it a try. I've put a ballpoint pen spring on the gas adjustment looking tool and 3D printed a little buffer below it (just a hollow cylinder with a widened base), which slows down the carrier a little bit before it hits the front of the gun when it returns home. Hopefully it will help with the lifetime of the gun but I can't test it, I don't have a second one to compare it to. I got the idea from the TM MP7, it has a similar buffer. If you want to do the same, make sure the ballpoint pen spring doesn't have enough tension to push the carrier away. I've also added some spacers inside the magwell so that each of my mags seat perfectly, because everyone on the internet said this will be a problem. I did this right away so I don't know how big of a problem it would've been, but I never had any feeding issues ever.

Review for WE AK GBB please. 😅

Insane set of tips and tricks. Made one of my friends feel really safe in pursuing a purchase of this model. Thanks a lot! I wish you'd make a video on WE G39c. It's a staple model in the GBBR industry and especially in the WE lineup but has little video coverage. What are your thoughts on it?

Im doing a daytona kit in a scar-l i also used to have a scar-h love them both

Man! I've been waiting this video a looong time ago!!! hahaha very nice by the way! I have a scar H and I had the problem with the screws...and I didn't do what you sugests and fucked up the treads...I have to replaced...but I still have problem with the HOPUP...I already buy a new one, change barrels, buckings and still not working well...que fps consistancy is good but the hopup...still not hopping propely...

Cool guns bro !!!

Cool video! I just have a question, because ive heard that we put a new hop up chamber in the gun so it won't accept any aftermarket parts. I tryed to put a maple leaf autobot 75° in it and it is to small. What can i do?

We scar h is really nice and lighter compared to the we tech 416 also the play in the mags is reduced when the rifle is cocked

Thank you for the review. I have a new WE SCAR H and have a couple of questions. The big piece that you first disassemble with the pin wobbles so much in my gun. That also applies to the stock. Do you perhaps have a fix for it or some hints? Also, I have a problem when that my gun smokes on full auto. 2-3 bbs it's ok. Any hints? Thank you

I'm getting bored of the M4 platform, but they are the fewer ones with a handy front charching handle.

Nice tips! can you review WE XM177?

Do you own the WE MSK GBBR? Would love to see a review on that!

Hello there , i heard you can only change the hopup bucking by replacing the inner barrel also.. is that right ??

Hi 😊 what do you think about co2 magazines ? Cheers mate

Best GBB channel ever.

In regards to the locktight glue, do i unscrew them and put it on the screw them in again? Or does it also work just periodicly checking the screws making sure they are tight without glue. Also if the barrel isnt flush should i push it down, and dissasemble it and assemble it again, or is it ok to use the gun like this?

So I’ve ran into a problem of the stock latch cracking after only a few magazines. I sent it for repair and it was replaced, but it happened to me again after very light use. I need help finding a fix for the stock latch breaking

What's your opinion on the RA-Tech aluminium magnetic nozzle? I just bought a secondhand SCAR that has it installed, sadly the original nozzle was broken. Should I replace the RA-tech one?

Are there models with the longer handgaurd, to look more like a Mk17? I want the H, but I'd prefer to be able to use standard Stanags.

WE have come such a long way.

The we scar l is my baby. I've put more time and money into it than any other gun, here's my experience. For parts you need, switch the trigger box for a ra tech full steel one, switch the stock plate for the angel custom metal one, and the max tac outer barrel kit for the hop up stability and barrel movement. Now for optional parts, the dynamic precision alluminum bolt is fantastic, I paired that with the angry gun rapid fire kit and my scar cycles faster than most high capas. The stock barrel is fine, I recommend a maple leaf crazy jet one tho with an autobot 75 bucking and omega nub. For fps variation, I use the ra tech magnetic npas nozzle, its worlds ahead of the old ra npas and works beautifully. My scar I now run with a tapp drum mag and it's become my most accurate, reliable, and fun gun to use beyond my p* and dsg

Great video very educational, but I have the tm scar h recoil shock and it’s good👍

When are we going to see a Novritsch GBBR? I want to buy one pre-approved by you Josef :)

Is this a good first gbbr for someone who is clueless when it comes to working in airsoft guns or should I steer completely clear of gbbrs?

Do the we msk !

If you buy RA Tech parts to replace the bolt and such, do you still need screwglue?

Okay, no RA-Tech. But what about there Steel trigger kit, seems a good idea, thinking of the trigger problems.

Is the WE version the same as the Cybergun VFC HK version? PDW moves too!

What size screws did you use to replace the barrel screws?

Do WE AK variants have the similar problems? Do you know about them anything?

Which pistol grip did you put on the Scar ? i am looking for one

Have you ever tried out the Poseidon Zero 2 nozzle?

Does anyone have a link to the P-Mags that Josef suggests in the video? Preferably from the EU/UK market?

Will you review the GHK 553?

Is the SCAR H bolt also fitting for the SCAR L, together with the Nozzle?

What type of pmag do you use? Please let me know when you can.

nice video

Hi! Can someone help me!? I have now bought a we scar h, even though I actually wanted to buy the VFC ScarH, which unfortunately is permanently sold out. So now I have the WE. Can anyone tell me which of the internal parts I should swap out first if I only have the option to choose one at the moment. So which of the internal parts would be more likely to break? Thanks!

I had an we aeg scar and the stock folding button broke in the first time i folded the stock, by the way the gun shot full auto in semi...

What about the we tech ak? As far as i know it has no screws.

What size are the barrel screws that you replaced?

The pieces are the same as the armorer works scar?

Besides mag size is the Scar H any different?

does anyone know if the mk17 long model of the we scar h still have this problem?

Do you keep the spring under the barrel fixing screws once you change them or not? Also, you mentioned in your comparison video to remove the selector plate thing from the trigger box, have you done the video of that? Does that the easiest to make it semi only or will it still fire on full auto?

Which PMag do you use for the SCAR?

You talk about the steel bolt carriers which are heavier. How do you feel about the aluminum bolt carriers which are supposed to be lighter? Dynamic Precision makes one and I am curious about it

Hi Josef! Any experience with the WE Ace VD (SVD)?

Tak jsem asi konečně přišel na to kde je problém po Upu meho scara.... zkusím vyměnit ty šrouby a jestli už ani to nepomůže tak už fakt nevím :(

I got the scar-h version.

does the we mk17 take we m4 mags??

the only thing i'm considering to buy rhis, is because theres Aluminium Bolt for it

Where did u buy the mag?

Wie viel g BBs nutzt du bei wie viel Joule in der Scar?

So this is about the SCAR L mostly, but how about the SCAR H?

Anyone know a in depth tutorial to do all this?

Do you ever have the h version?

Hi Josef! Is .36 BB's good with all stock hardware?

Can u actually show how it fires?

I got mine since one year. Convert the mag for HPA... a beast!!

Tbh the lock tight is a good idea but that's not necessary at all you can use teflon tape and get the same results lol js

I know at least RA Tech makes steel trigger groups for WE guns, so the whole cheap metal firing issue should be fixed.

Buying one from a friend has feeding issues , seems like the barrel sliding forward because of the weak screws could be the source

hey man, im curious, can i just 3d print the triggerbox?? or that part that needs filing??

Have you tried the WE gbb p90? Not many people seem to use it but I love it.

Why is your barrel much longer than the ones i see online

can you link tmag???

VFC or this?

Hi! Im a about to be an HPA user, and i have the option to buy the Regular metal WE M4 gas mags, and the WE MSK gas mags. I prefer the MSK mags, will they do job for HPA, just as well as the original gas mags?

Hello mate. I just brought FN SCAR-H VFC GBBR First before all does the gun need some time to settle metal to metal work and so how long. I took main brand new and o notice some of the bbs fly out with really good power and next bbs is really weak and the one after is like rolling down from the gun. So weird. Also i just shoot 3 full magazines and problem still appear and also the mag start to cool fast and didn't perform well or leak out the gas. Another thing i want to mention is the bolt is not fully close and leaving small gap when goes to feed bbs to chamber. My instagram is @kkermenliev if you want to replay there.

kdybych tohle video viděl tak před rokem kdy jsem si kupoval scara od wečka tak by se mi asi nestalo to samé s tím utrženým kouskem :/ mimochodem by mě zajímal co nejbližší postup opravy jakou provedl tvůj kamarád (asi) jelikož by se mi to docela hodilo. Prozatím jsem tento problém vyřešil tak že jsem díru se závitem provrtal skrz a doříznul závit a drží to vlastně až za to "tělo" a ne za ten kousek co se ulomil ale moc tomu nevěřím tak bych chtěl vědět jak to udělat trochu víc důvěryhodnější :) předem díky za odpověď

Do the we pmags work with vfc scar? And do you have scar l or h?

Any tips on getting spray paint off of the aluminum upper? I just bought one second hand and it has a god awful paint job on it. Cheers
