What do you guy think if I just take out those sight on SCAR and replace it by those ?
SCAR has a big rail along the top, if its a SCAR-L its firing the same ammo (real one) as an AR... I see no reason why the MBUS would be "wrong" on it.

Well for one, unlike you we aren't in the US: most Magpul products are ITAR restricted and are a huge pain in the ass to obtain outside of the US. In fake, many inane items are (Surefire helmet lights, Magpul parts, some Colt 1911 grips).

Magpul PTS products, on the other hand, are not; even those that are "virtually identical" (as in "its a different box that's labeled Magpul PTS) to the real steel items can be exported.

Looking at the "PTS" markings that look Photoshopped on, I think that just like the CTR stocks the PTS MBUS will pretty much be repackaged real ones, or otherwise identical to the real ones but manufactured overseas.
