About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this UA-cam channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Thanks for watching guys, so what do you think? Is the SCAR-17 overrated? Even if it is, do you still want one? Let me know down in the comments!
(And yes, I totally forgot to torque the optic mount down in the beginning, LOL)

Brandon in Jan: SCAR is too expensive for me to buy forever
Brandon in Mar: So anyway I bought a VSS...
A SCAR is rather expensive though in all fairness. Though that VSS costs a lot to shoot
@@Kamikazi91127 pretty sure a vss is more expensive since theyre pretty much unobtainium as rare as they are in america because of the russian import "ban" that everyone pretty much goes by if not everyone so they dont import them

Thank you for your Ghost Recon service.
Tightening optics down on your SCAR is totally optional. As you can see here, Brandon has chosen to leave his loose as to dampen the impact of the heavy hitting .308 cartridge, thereby extending the life of his optic.
The comment was was looking for XD
that optic hangs in there for dear life. will to live 10/10
I noticed too.
i just knew when i saw the slow-motion optic wobble there'd be a golden comment like this one
That optic hung on longer than RBG. 😏

I finally shelled out the money for a SCAR 17 in December. Got to take it to the range a couple weeks ago, and I love this rifle. Not gonna worry about the torture test results. Definitely my favorite battle rifle.
I remember picking one of these up in 2012 from this shop in Hookset NH. 10 years later it’s still one of my favorite rifles.
I have the same addiction lol
We all do.... we all do
We really do… but i don’t mind 😎
What a great intro: “Wanna know how I got this Scar???? Gunbroker…”
*Looks away in shame
Love it Brandon
I'm trying to imagine how you'd get the other kind of scar from Gunbroker.
Nice pfp
Is a 22 less expensive and do theyake a 22 scar
There's a place called ranch and home where I live and scar rifles are there big sellers
I'M a battle rifle guy from head to toe. I was trained on the HK G3 way back when i served (i'm german, served in the 90's).
One day our regiment shared the range with an american unit and i had the chance to fire an M16 A2 (standard drill, 20 rounds, varying ranges, pop-up man-silhouettes) and an M60. The M16 felt like a Super Soaker to me and i fucking fell in love with the M60 (the sheer sound of it, magnificent^^).
Needless to say i shot "rifle expert" because the firing drills of u.s. and german forces couldn't have been any more different back then.
Bundeswehr trained for accuracy with 6 rounds in the mag shooting at what i would translate to match targets (y'know from 0 to 10 points with an X in the dead center.) Shooting the M16 felt like no effort at all, like a toy gun. The SCAR-H looks like something i would love to shoot with and probably never will :(
Hey thanks for sending me over to SDI. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but now I'm going to be going into their gunsmithing program.
How’s that going?
I just want to say how proud I am that Brandon hit so many targets when his sight was moving so much. Gotta love those air soft red dots
Literally the first thing i tough to myself
"How is he hitting anything? That sight is about to go Free Willy any second now"
I was about to ask why the first few rounds in the opening of the vid. that was happening but the end it was solid not moving.....
the only reason he has that red dot on is bc its prob a sponsor lol
@@D990990990 once your zeroed in you dont need sights , my brother had a uncanny abilty to adjust his hits by watching the bullit hit.he could also quick draw and hit targets with no sights, he got a medal for this in the marines, i always kidded him about me teaching him to shoot. miss him dearly.rip mitch.
When he put the mag in and slapped it and the dot sight 'wobbled' I thought yeah that's gonna come off while firing, or just unzero itself after you simply wiggle the gun around a bit.
The nice thing about the SCAR is that you can gets parts pretty easy for it. For instance, if your folding stock breaks you can head down to your local Home Depot and replace that door hinge.
Nyet! If you put metal where plastic hinge goes, you break gun!
Yes, this is actual advice I've heard from reputable gunsmiths who work on SCARs.
If the door hinge works, why change it?
That's how to blow your engine!
lmfao
They’ll accept the ACR stock with an adapter. I know two people who have done that with theirs. I’ve kept mine stock, other than a muzzle device change to accept a suppressor, and a 3.5 lb drop-in Timney trigger pack.
Good and funny review, Brandon. I bought a 20S and 16S in the last few months, and they’ve become my favorite rifles. I’ve now started buying FN handguns to go with them. Great company.
Just started school at SDI a few weeks ago in part because of your videos. Always been really into learning how guns tick.
I was 20 and realized "wait, I could've bought a gun all this time!" and talked to a local FFL and picked up a SCAR17.
Sick gun I love it
Damn I'm just mad your were 20 and had that kind of spare money lol
My plan pretty much
Bought mine when I was 19, I saved up the spare money since I was 10 years old. Wanted one ever since my mw2 days and now it is too the crown jewel of my small gun collection!
based chad ... salute from globalist owned europe
Man I had the money to buy one but where I was living I couldn't have it😢
Moved out and now I don't have the money 😥
YES! My SCAR 17 is my "lambo" gun and definitely the crowning jewel of my gun safe. Not only is it a unique rifle but the way it handles recoil is second to none. Such a blast to shoot. Stay safe out there!
Has it eaten any $1k optics yet?
Or you could simply put a Lantac Dragon on the AR and get a much better shooting rifle at 1/8 the cost
@@SnuffySpaghetti just buy optics that are safe to use with...
@@SnuffySpaghetti run a 1-6x24 razor hd such a good optic for the gun. Shouldn’t have any issues. Lifetime warranty if it dies.
@@mostneuter Tell that to the EOTech owners who couldn't make it last 1k rounds on their Scar.
I'm canadian. Last year I got to go down to Nashville with my buddy. The most memorable part of that trip was going to royal range in frankin and shooting a full auto ak and scar 17. It was so fun. First time going full auto and first time shooting something bigger and a .22
What I've noticed with my limited experience with the Scar-H (no experience with the civilian version) is the recoil on semi is FAR more manageable than you may think and the recoil on full pew pew is not quite as bad as I was expecting being a .308. Also the OOBE is quite nice overall. Do I have hundreds of hours of combat experience with one? I can't say I do but with my experience and what I DO know about the weapon system I would be willing to take it into combat even if just for a limited time.
Hey Brandon, when disassembling the scar slap the lower receiver forward rather than levering it. It pulls the tongue out of the stock and you can pull straight out from there.
@GABRIELLA dude. noone cares... lmao
@GABRIELLA litterally noone
@GABRIELLA cant see a single soul out there caring....?
Thought the same thing when I saw it. "Pull it forward first!!!"
@@Khozeee Its a bot dude. Not a person. Your literally talking to no one lol.
This might be the happiest we've ever seen Brandon after a firearm purchase.
...I need a SCAR. One day. Like, in the far FAR future. But still.
check out the AK47 type 1 video. Its like a kid in a candy store.
They're fun, but 3000-4000 buys you a lot of gun in a lot of places. So make sure it's the Halo you want
@@WalterRitchey I made the mistake of getting a 5.7, that led me to a PS90, which I then saw the FNX 45. After 3 it was easy to justify the 17s. FN makes a quality product when laid next to a lot of other firearms.
Lets make brandon to get the ac 20 in the range fellow battletech enjoyer
Once you’ve bought one, you’ll likely never look at any other .308 battle rifle. They are THAT sweet.
I was sold at your Back to the Future quote. Also, I love your AK reviews, especially since I come to your channel as a SME, prior to purchase.
I like how you're always looking at the guns. You really do appreciate them
I'm a fan of FN's firearms, they are all so damn iconic (even if a lot of them have flaws). I mean shit, the p90, fn57, scar, m249, and the fal; shits just dope.
what flaws?
I got the hots for the hi-power
they actually tend to be pretty fucking reliable vs other guns. FAL and FNC are known for their AK like durability. not sure about m249 but the minimi is pretty fucking good, our army even bought the 7.62 version to replace out FN MAG's (M240) 5.7 and p90 can be a bit flimsy but theyre usually used in urban warfare so they dont tend to get beat up that much
FNH, FTW!
Everybody forgets about the F2000

Outstanding video and presentation. I love both my Scar 17 and Scar 16.
One rifle I’d like to see you do a deep dive into is the Ruger Mini 14. A favorite of fudds everywhere, fully California compliant without neutering, and operate not unlike an upside down AK.

I remember (poorly) watching a Shawn Ryan interview with a Chad Marine who recounted taking down a terrorist with one of these. What stuck with me was the smile on his face when he described how definitively it ended that POS’s day. He said it was gnarly.
I love how the folding stock on the SCAR-17 is in the vague shape of a boot. It's like FN is subliminally saying that this rifle kicks ass!
Ugg boot
No joke, this is literally the first time I've ever seen someone fold the stock on a SCAR
To think someone would want this...
I tried it once. . . Let's just say there is no accuracy to be had, at all.
love how you can see his optic wiggle as he fires in the slow mo bits
I was going through some of you old videos and I found this one and as someone from Costa Rica I'm happy knowing that you are willing to come move here and it's true, they will not find you here, I know like 4 guys with the last Herrera and they are all from different families, the only thing that could give you away is that you are fluent in English and that you know stuff about guns
From the Russian arsenal, to this, I think Brandon just *really* likes 7.62, regardless of length!
Just like your wife and the sausage
x39 and x51 are such fun calibers.
Different long-short strokes for different folks.
7.62x25, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 7.62x54r, 7.62x63...so many ways.
No matter the length, Brandon takes it 😏
Day one fan Brandon . I never miss a notification from you! Been an AK enthusiast since my dad got me my first WASR when I was 14 (:
Nice! WASR at 14...how lucky of you. The closest thing I ever got to a gun was a BB gun that shoots at like...200fps lmao

My favorite battle rifle. Mine is FDE and a SBR. Definitely love the trijicon with this beast.
As a kid I was in love immediately with the design of the Armalite classic. Also M1 garands cause of the ping only lol.
Then as a teen the AK-47 was love at first sight.
Right around end of HS, when I saw the Scar/mk17 for the 1st time… I also instantly fell in love. The design is so classic. In tan. The uggboot stock shape. It’s just so instantly classic like the other two… and what makes me so lost, is that you would think it just looks like a basic Semi-Auto military issue styled rifle…. Unlike the AK & M16… instantly in the silhouette they’re so unique. But the scar even with its basic design can still stand out with them silhouette alone… like it’s not even having to try to be cool affffffff. Effortless, like gravy on a baby. 😎
My teacher caught me watching this in class, figured out he is an Ak fanboy, thanks Brandon!

Does he appreciate the glory of the Scar though?
NICE
now that is some dammed good tax-payer funded reading
Did you see that red dot shake when he charged the handle Going into the first slowmo
i thought i was the only one
You can watch it slide on every shot as well.
The scar and fal are my top 2 grail guns, well when it comes to semi auto. I'm more of a western gun lover ( colt Saa's and lever guns). Great content brandon !!
I've wanted an FN FAL Para for years but they have become unicorns. But this is supposedly to be thr Fal's progeny and I just had to have it. Folding stock like the old Para, 7.62x51, and super lineage as a real battle rifle. Love the ergonomics, the light weight, heavy hitter caliber, and unlike a lot of boutique manufacturers making .308 AR-10s, this is a real version of a military issued rifle except for the select fire.
Love my black Ugg boot.
Lever action loading is way cooler than other types.
SCAR-17 with a TA31 ACOG is one of my favorite rifles to shoot. I rarely go shooting without taking it.
One thing I'd really love to see on the channel would be an SVT-40, really interesting rifle and 10 rounds of 54R down range in rapid succession has gotta be fun
"Who amongst us doesn't have a little performance issues in the cold?" Russians.
Also to have Brandon resolve the ages-old debate of whether SVT-40 was a masterpiece or overengineered. Germans killed the vast majority of intended operators of SVT-40 in June 1941, and lots of new conscripts reported having trouble with the gun's maintenance and low reliability due to too many parts, so they preferred Mosins instead. Meanwhile some trained operators were super fond of the rifle and insisted one simply needs to learn to handle it properly.
Yes
@@tatianapreobrazhenskaya9777 rifle is fine
*AVT-40 because fuck brandon's shoulder
I never experienced a single malfunction with it, even after thousands of rounds in Modern Warfare 2.
It’s also won many a games in fortnight lol
Wow, that was original and funny
the bloopers at the end make an already entertaininh video sooo much better
Garandthumb did a video of it in the cold, a SCAR 17s, It was a magazine fit issue, solved in 2013-4, but Garand Thumb proved the recent models are okay in ice and frozen too. His recent videos are awesome in the cold tests. The modern rifles from FN have a bunch of updates that make the SCAR 17s more accurate as of 2022 models and have less recoil than any other year, plus it's lighter. The SCAR 20s has the most updates. Worth 6k, but FN is at a loss until 2024 for the new models. But the updates got approval. Check out the 2026 model that is 1/10 lighter, with a different barrel. FN, my hats off to this company. If they had this rifle model year 2022 in Vietnam, we wouldn't have lost so many young Americans. Russian war will require FN to pick up the pace buds. I think it's great if the stock is replaced with a lighter and tighter one with a compartment. I would take off a rail. Switch rifles for use of job then switch off all the components and lose the zero or comfort levels, tightness, or lose anchor points/attachment falls off! More than likely to will, we use balene wire in the Army to tie down our optics if there shot off. We did this in Iraq. Damn Soviet snipers.
My medical trainer lost a medic in his unit starting down his optics. Through and through his scope he said. Nothing anyone could do is all he said while smoking two packs an hour in front of me. Saw this loss, I thought I was next I go a couple of times or more(, every minute for a long time-Months day and night. The enemy aims where we eat and we do the same. It's like volleyball but it's a grenade. Many get hurt and pay the ultimate price for two old over a 5 dollar bet. On who's troops will land on the middle eastern country the first, over nothing. Lose 15k young American lives over it. I saved there of them, three others were dead when I arrived and they already turned blue... So I never technically lost a life.
Brandon: drops several G's on a fucking scar
Also Brandon: loads it with the shittiest polymer coated steel case dog shit ammo he can find
Never change
It's lacquer coated. Technically not the shittiest. Second shittiest by some metrics.
and the mall-ninja-branding red dot on it is sub-$200 and sold on Amazon- always an AK guy at heart
If your gun can't run shitty steel then it don't deserve brass.
Bruh, that's absolutely stupid. If it wasn't designed to run something then don't go putting it in there. It's how you end up with torn, brass cases in G3s; or under gassed guns that were designed to run brass.
@@andreivaldez2929 if it can't run steel it doesn't deserve brass
Made in Belgium, 1987 wen i was in the Belgium army we had the FAL also nice, great video thnx,
Back in my days, I used FAL and FAL Heavy Barrel. God those were good rifles. Now want to get a SCAR 20s with a good sight but not enough money yet. I was really good shooting them, miss a lot.
1:26 that red dot looked awfully loosey goosey. Glad you did this video. Love this rifle.
Wiggle wiggle wiggle
ikr I was lile "Is nobody seeing this?!"
yea it completely removed validity for accuracy if there is any, i know scar h can shoot sub mos
Because scars eat through optics
Same thoughts I had. The Crimson Trace "RMR At Home" looked wobbly AF on this gun during the slow-mo. I know the gun has a reputation of loosening optics, but using a cheap Walmart red dot isn't doing it any favors, lol.
That optic wobble @ 1:25 when you let the bolt fly home, that was nuts.
Haha he didn't tighten the mount
The flexible mount is a feature. It isolates the optic from shock and vibration.
Think the issue was the first versions of the gun had problems in the field but they ironed that out and it's a really solid weapon.
I'm 1 year behind your price range and now I have a baby on the way...and I just bought a scar 17s.😮. Thanks Brandon for being honest. We don't have that much anymore.

Remember Brandon, the FNC auto sears fit the SCARs! As always great content man.
Sadly the ATF says that's a big nono. Not entirely sure how it would work for an SOT but I'd assume you'd probably have to make a new auto sear for it.
First of all, lower your voice...
@@tuurd lower… like drop it in the lower? Like a drop in… oh you mean stop talking, got it.
@@CelticAssassin There are a surprising number of FNC auto sears that are registered and available if you can find a seller with one.
@@wraithmagnum Oh I'm well aware. They're one of the most common pre ban auto sears available. The issue is that the ATF ruled that they can only be used in original FNCs. You can't even put them in repros let alone the Mk 17/Scar 17 platform. Pretty sure they don't even allow them in parts kits builds. Alphabet boys are little shits like that. Again, I'm not sure if an SOT has to follow that rule but as it stands that's the rule.
I sold my Scar 17 about 4 years ago so I could get an M40A1. While I love that M40A1 I miss the scar17 so much cuz it was such a great gun. My round count before getting rid of it was right around 5k with only 3 failures. Two were ammo related and the 3rd was a weird one where the brass case didn’t eject and kind got stuck in the chamber. There was no claw marks on it or anything. Anyway, that was at about 1800 rounds and I couldn’t get it to do it again. Accuracy was good as it was always 1-3 MOA with cheap ammo and 3/4 with good ammo. My only issue with it was that it would shake my Larue QD optic mounts loose. I eventually got a non QD Spuhr and that held just fine. Still love that gun. I have a scar 20 now which is way more accurate but it’s heavy as hell and is more of a bench gun than a lightweight battle rifle.
Update from the future in 2023… I’ve rewatched this video 50 times over the last year and finally decided to grab my ankles and purchased another Scar 17. I’m happy to report that it is still a F’n awesome rifle.
Gotta love how the upper, lower, stock and magazine are all different shades of FDE
12:05 the slow motion shot when the gun fires and the bullets hitting steel sounds like the beginning of the Halo theme.
Brandon is the true man of culture
Barely clamps the optic to the gun
I was gonna say, the red dot is sliding around more than a bogan with a subaru
Probably to reduce the amount of shock from the rounds going off, with a bit of slack some of the energy is lost but if it's tight it'll be getting the full force of it.
I wonder if the SCAR would be looked at differently if it were introduced nowadays instead of 10yrs ago. The new ones with non reciprocating charging handles and with the availability of optics that can stand up to the recoil I feel like it might be more widely accepted.
It most certainly gets unnecessary hate. Especially now with other firearm manufacturers taking from its design and building similar rifles
Fortnite gun
Hey there Pooh bear😏
I have both the 17s and then bought the 20s a week later. i really love the 17 better. The 20 seems like a baseball bat in comparison. great video. I added the ATN 4K PRO digital 5-15 scope to mine, you should try the scope out on a video.

He was about to shit himself after seeing this SCAR-17. he examined the scar, took PMC's dogtag, checked it and the PMC had died to gluhar. His heart started pounding while running towards CP fence. He proned in the corner while staring at the extraction timer. He succesfully extracted with the SCAR-17.. and thats how he got it.
What a story bro
its a joker reference mate 🤨
That was an amazing stroke reenactment at the end there
This was a truly excellent video, Congressman Herrera!!
i always love how the scar looks mostly because of it`s straight mag lol it`s just so much more aesthetically pleasing than a curved one at least to me
Definitely helps sell the 'Heavy' look. Magazine looks like a shipping container.
They're basically FAL mags.
What??.. you dont like the "cuernos de chivo" mags??
This is the most important factor.
The reason being is the .308 doesn't really have as much casing taper as a 5.56 or 7.62x39
FN firearms always have great attention to detail when it comes of MoA. It's something they really makes them stand out from other manufacturers.
For example, the FN Five Seven. Because a P90 ammunition based sidearm that can have a 30 round magazine (which is hugely expensive) absolutely stands out amongst the crowd and boldly says "look at me, I'm amazing!"
Brandon's sight is literally wobbling on the rail XD 1:22
i love how the optic was wobbling in the montage
love the fact that this man has the balls to put a crimson trace on a scar and then show it to everyone on the internet
He spent all his money on the Scar17
And not even tighten it down. I kept waiting for it to fall off.
@@remylevine4478 ok so I’m not crazy it’s wobbling around on there.
@@cams.3102 that was one of the first things I noticed. Things barely hangin on!
"Just a neat little red dot, I think they are kinda neat."
That's very neat, Brandon 👍
i know strokes are serious and all, but that outro stroke bit was gold
Ah the scar-17, my favorite rifle for my battle with deer.
I could picture that
my favorite part about the SCAR is how its just unashamedly 4 different colors and nobody gives AF
I do, but the owners that flex them online say it's a feature and not an oversight or a shortcoming on a Gucci gun.
Still holds up in a beauty contest with a G3. =P
@@randomidiot8142 50 shades of FDE boooiiii
@@TerranPlanetaryDefenseForce still wonder why it's called flat dark earth when it's not dark or dirt colored. Khaki, coyote, tan, sand etc is closer but whatevs.
After I noticed that i have not known peace since.
As a Belgian, I love the enthusiasm people have for the FN. Even though I personally have had no part in any design aspect of any gun for that matter, a part of me feels a lot of injustifiable pride that a country filled with soyboys was still able to come up with some of the more badass weapons. Enjoy it!
Y'all did have a critical injection of Browning.
Why are they soy boys
@@longjohn8341 we can have up to 30 guns of all kinds (any more and you need to remodel your house, sadge)
I thought it was so cool in the Brussels-MIDI station when I saw like 5 military dudes chillin with their scar 16s
That’s called Patriotism my guy.
My fav in COD equipped with granade launcher +40round mag + thermal/3x scope
I would love to see you try out a Phoenix 45- 70 Auto.
YES! Welcome to the darkside! Now SBR it lol
And a don't forget the giggle switch
I feel like Brandon is the most indecisive mother lover on the planet when it comes to his "battle gun" like shtf zombies, civil war, invasion whatever gun he's grabbing when he puts on his plate carrier. he probably swaps out guns every month or so
I only have tinnitus when I remember to think about it and you just reminded me.😅
For the love of God Brandon can you release a comedy special? You seriously have massive potential!
