A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron takes off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 6, 2014, during RED FLAG-Alaska 15-1. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.

Just last night I was pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to drop the SCAR-H’s lower receiver without breaking anything off. Then it was time for the bolt carrier, guide rod and spring. I sat there staring into the upper laying on my kitchen table wondering, “Okay, now how the eff does that come out???”

Well, look at that. “KALMAR305” posted the manual for the SCAR family of weapons up on SCRIBD just this past Monday. It includes operating, maintenance and troubleshooting instructions for the MK16 (SCAR-L), MK 17 (SCAR-H) and MK 13 (EGLM). It’s not classified, but it is marked as authorized for distribution only to authorized DoD personnel and DoD contractors.
