DBoy's FN Scar L
 
Well I've been searching around for a Scar Aeg for the past month; looking at reviews and such, and I was curious if anyone on the board has one and can tell me their experience with it. A friend bought a Dboys PDW and loves it, seemed like a fairly well built gun for the bucks. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

I have both VFC PDW and DBoys RDW, VFC is better in every way except price and their generally crappy selectors. I also have a VFC Scar H and it's beautiful. Unfortunately I don't have the Dboys Scar but if it's something like my PDW/RDW, it's worth the money. Not as good but you're paying about half the price.

When I say not as good, I mean over external and internal build. The RDW has play between the receivers and VFC self shimming gears are sexy. I found the PDW gearbox to be easier to work with too.

yer doin it wrong.

the only thing I don't like about the dboy is the ambi selector being a piece of crap, but the whole thing in general is fine.

the dboy scar is a favourite of some people on ASM (out of the scars), but it's really up to you (OP) to decide.

Got the VFC H SSR because the external detail is superb!

You should look at both in person then decide.

Theres some good deals right now in the classifieds i'd say you get age verified and go there

VFC makes the sexiest SCARs!
I know a couple guys who had Dboys and didn't really like them. Most had poor QC on the bodies leading to internals that never lined up and caused tons of issues.

Dboys is a clone of VFC for their RDW/PDW line anyways...they both have shitty selectors lol. You'd expect a better selector for something near the $500 range for the VFC though.

I figure for the price ($260) I could do a ton of upgrade; pretty much complete Lonex box and still be in the same ball park as the VFC. Really what Im most concerned with is the body fit and finish. From the reviews ive been looking at, seem to be giving fairly high praise in this category. Anyone else out there loving or hating the Dboy's Scar L?

Dboys/boyi scar-l's are actually clones of the Classic army one I should know I've owned 2. Nice gun but have fun getting thr gearbox out.

Yes, this haha. Also its a clone of the first gen scar l not the current version.

I held the dboys for a few minutes and it felt disgusting compared to a vfc

It's your money. If you think $260 is a good deal, buy it. I don't think sinking $$$ into the internals of a budget gun will do anything for the exterior.

It is not about hate or love of the Dboys. They are low cost, budget guns. But if you have seen a VFC in person and can't see the difference, then still buy the Dboys.

Dasright June 9th, 2013 00:36

I vote VFC SCAR-L. Those little issues on clones can drive you crazy and be expensive to fix. I picked up my SCAR brand new for 350 in Canada so it's only about 100 dollars more for peace of mind, really.

BennyBoy June 9th, 2013 01:37

My VFC Scar H has become my loaner gun hahaha. Gbbrs just way too sexy ;)

! On mobile; sorry for any spelling mistakes or autocorrects!

Actually, Classic Army's SCAR-L and its DBOY clone replicate the GEN 2 prototypes of SCAR.


This is the GEN-1 SCAR-L prototype:

Notice its FNC-esque lower receiver, which initially lead some observers to believe that the SCAR was a further development of the FNC.

I think he meant Gen1 as in the first produced CA Scar-L's that were manufactured opposed to the current models being manufactured by Classic Army. Not the Real Steel counter-parts.

If you ever hold the new batch DBoy SCAR, you would be surprised by the external quality.

There are several experienced players mistaken dboy for a VFC already.

Flailing_Seagul June 10th, 2013 12:58

Thanks Huang, this is the info I was looking for. just a confirmation on the external quality...cause I know the internal will be not the best. Now the only real question is Dboys SCar L or a WE GBB SCar L....they're the same price :/ Tuff call

T@NK June 13th, 2013 20:55

I've happened to have the chance to see both VFC and Dboy's Scar L/H, to be honest, I 'd say that's a fair deal...for the price, but you can't really compare it with a VFC, on the other hand, Dboy Scar H is a big surprise in a positive way, I literally thought that was VFC on the first sight.

now speaking of WE and Dboy, I 'd go with WE Scar gbbr. much more fun to play with, also a reliable gaming platform.

Flailing_Seagul June 22nd, 2013 09:44

I probably would buy the GBB WE but can't find it in stock for a decent price anywhere. So I believe myself on behalf of Bad Karma will be buying a Dboys Scar l and doing a complete review, comparisons against the VFC and G&G in stock and modded forms. Should be a fun project, I'll be sure to add the links to the videos to a thread on ASC when their done.
