The CZ vs Scar 16 Faceoff - Which one is Better?

Welcome to smarm Solutions, I have been asked several times for my opinion between the CZ Brent 805 carbine versus the 16 that they asked me about, you already know

which

one I like

better

, since we are going to talk today, I will give you my opinion directly. is first and then we'll go over the other weapons from the mouth of Basel, uh, but we'll show the similarities now. The two rifles are very similar, first of all our sponsor is concerned or are virtually identical in many many ways. to tell you money for money quality for quality I think I'm going to build this easy the cz can weigh about a pound more however there is nothing the cz can do

scar

16 can't do the cz and you know that yes it can.

It can be a tough choice, but having enough time to spend with the two of them together, I really found that I felt like maybe the things in the zirconia were a little bit nicer, like the security of this easy, a little bit

better

, you know. look at the grip, it was a little better. I felt on the cz to keep my balance. It was much stronger. It had the same modularity. it had the same type of gas block and they both had these weird muzzle brakes that I'm about to replace both with the flash suppressor you know?

So I guess, since you say, I'll be surprised to hear you say that I like this easy better. These two are my weapons, so I own both. You know, there's no bias here. I will say that I like

scar

16 better than scar 17, at least, but Bren's quality, checks did an absolutely exceptional job in terms of the quality of the machining of everything. I think we'll do it, we'll just start from the front to the back and go over the differences and similarities starting with the actions. I will definitely give cz much higher quality stock than what you have. slightly more positioned, you get six positions instead of four, the only thing I really like a little bit more about NASCAR was the fact that the cheek piece that goes up and down here is still the front wear on these, the zircon that goes in the back with . the stock so I take it a little better but overall the quality is I think it's a more durable stock in the cz now to fold and you have a lover on the side closed now this car will lock the scar locks in place for that you can you literally have to take it out activate it use this one you just can't take it out there's no real lock on it this could be up to you you're a pain in the ass and what you like about it now first up to the lower receivers worried, other polymer receivers are worried, you know, I can't tell you exactly what material they're made of, you know, the manufacturers will tell you, but it seems to me that the polymer used in the zirconia seems to be a little bit a little bit stronger it's a little bit thicker I think it tends to be a little bit stronger than that at the end of the scar the safety itself the safety on these the cz you have a much larger panel at the top

which

makes it absolutely simple to reach with gloved hands yet these are not as high profile to get now you prefer the release of the magazine are the same now the magazine good for those with the standard you know STANAG magazine just as easy access without problems whatever, you also have ambidextrous for both, now the only feature that the scar has is that the zirconia doesn't do much on both, the bolts open on the last shot, however there is no bolt release in this easy way to once the bolt is locked open and just like that, the only thing you can do to releasing it is that you have to be very delicate within the standard scar that you have, you also have an actual bolt release mechanism, so that's one of the differences or as far as the trigger.

I'm worried now as we go into the dead of night after day, the scar trigger isn't as good as the cz. This ez probably has one of the best military grade triggers I've seen as far as scar trigger feel. It is rather a bit heavy and has a lot of acceptance, the scene is not like that. I definitely have to complain, kudos to the cz on the quality of the trigger, the upper receivers are very identical in many ways. You would have the aluminum one piece upper receiver, it also has removable rail panels, this one, but the cz actually comes with a straight flat rail, it's 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, here it was replaced with kns rails precision 1913. on those two sides and here you have removable rail segments also as you can see on both I have the protective mantle covers then we look at the front here you have the gas blocks very similar in detail you have a suppressed configuration in the scar where you only have two, you have two configurations here, you do not have a suppressed configuration here, however through my research I have seen many people using these suppressions without any problems without them, both barrels are cold hammer.

Forged chrome, both with 1.7 inch twist, a front pickup site on the CZ will attach to the top rail instead of the gas block itself. You're looking at a difference of one pound. We're going to take them apart now, take a look. to them on the inside first starting with this assembly this easy instead of just having one captive detent pin you have two removable ones this is actually a shout out to the really dirty type they have for this rifle is the fact that You don't have Captain Deighton. bins, so once we have that star thing, it's just a pin forward, you know, we take a look inside here, as you can see on the zirconia trigger, right here is a much nicer, much better trigger done, but I want to pay special attention to the safeties, look how wide these paddles are and again you have a removable magazine here where I can change it with this magazine today, the standard g36 type, it just looks like the polymer in the zircon it was just a little bit stronger, it's thicker and it seems to be a little bit stronger as far as the star goes, it's had some issues regarding the next thing we're going to do is remove the original sets and the zirconia.

You have a button here at the top. You're going to push in and slide down and then these screws just slide down again. Both stocks are telescopic and fold laterally. The scar butt will actually lock into place in a closed position where the zirconia is more of a retainer. Now, that will depend on you what you prefer. Some people prefer to have a locking position so that it does not come out because it does not open unintentionally. Some don't care. I mean, you know I can go either way. It doesn't make much difference to me and I will say that the materials themselves seem to be much stronger in the zirconia because as far as durability goes, there really is no question that now the cocking is handled on its own here, this is something I replaced.

I immediately had both guns once I went, both charging handles were very very small and short for both the Ascari and the cz, the cz one came out with km/s accuracy which is a great charging handle, very much easier for me. use them I prefer them on the left side here and this one came from a scar Kinect development group whenever you are looking to buy any type of Voe component for scar connection research development is your company they make the best rails that they manufacture the best you know is that everything for them prescribes, the cz is worried, the only one that is really doing something is the precision of kms.

I measure these weapons becoming a little more popular, you'll start to see more, but I'll say first in terms of popularity. I waited, you see, for October 5th. I waited seven months for a distributor to promote this one. That's how long it took the police to return in Scar 16 Scar Seven teams. I understand they are not unicorns. They are very, very difficult to find. There are a few more. military contracts I guess that's what FN is doing right now, which is eating up a lot of their capacity, so what we're going to do now is put out the book here or put out the groups just with the zircon that you remove. to the bluest position and lift the lever, we are still ready, tight, this car is still customer, exactly the same with the star, okay, so, taking a good look at the bolts, you can obviously see that there is a small difference in the mechanism operational. this here this is the operating rod I am a star 16 before the zirconia you have a short stroke tap it will take a look a few minutes happy in the operating system in that one you had the piston itself the scar you can physically disassemble a routine maintenance very easy to taking apart now the zirconia doesn't come apart, you actually have to take out a pin to remove the firing pin, so basically what CZ is telling you is that this is like you clean it using The q-tips use some brushes, that's it now.

I will say that I wish I could take this apart easier, but you know, that's how they designed it so it wouldn't have to be taken apart in a regular way. You can see that the bolts look very similar to them and even the cam pins have a very similar. Unfortunately the firing pin you just can't see, but as you can see they both have an r18 or similar. or 180 type locking mechanism, they look very similar, put this back together inside the scarf. I'm not actually going to do this because you have to have a tool to remove it when you remove the gas block, you have a very short piston. slash working fine listening you got it you got the gas valve it's unfortunate it's very hard to get to there is a tool that actually slides in the back pushes the floor if you get a chance watch my video on the scarce square 16 17 you can see how is done and the zirconia is a little easier.

You push the detent here, turn it 360 degrees and now you have the gas valve, as you can see, you have two gas ports here and you have radials to use. in every sense for the gas exhaust ports, here you have the operating rod spring assembly for the cz, very simple and very robust, but again you are looking at something very different. It's nice and easy compared to the scar, the scar you're going to have. I only have a very small piston and the tail hits the front, like I said it's old and it's very hard to get it out right now.

I don't have the tool with me now, there is no suppressed setting on the zirconia, however the other one is. in the scar, so I figured it would be difficult for you/CZ to come up with a replacement gas valve that had a suppressed configuration. I think we'll see a lot more coming out for CZ and in the future. the gun has been very successful due to the fact that you probably know about a thousand dollars less than the scar. I think a seat, a few more reviews, you never review. I've even seen it. Strange easy.

Everyone loves it. I have not done it. I've seen someone have something really negative to say about it, so here's what you have as far as the mechanics and when you look at the inside of the receivers, you look at the inside here and you can see the quality of both of them is incredible. Both will now have a quick-change barrel. Both will have barrels and 300 blackouts. You'll also be able to get shorter length barrels to come to sPRM or if you're a law enforcement military you can get them in various lengths as well, but as you can see the similarity between these two or it's undeniable and you know, I don't think that when you look at the extra thousand dollars, I don't think you're getting any extra value of big benefits from the scar over the zirconia now let's put it back together.

The best way to do this is to insert the operating rod assembly into the host cylinder. Now we basically have to push the plunger down and I'm just going to use a Hannibal. and when you do this, you'll want to make sure you have the 5.56 nato on top. Now what we're going to do is install the bolt carrier group and before we put on the belt carrier group we need to install the cocking handle now we have a block on the back here we'll make sure it's in the correct position okay, Now let's take the stock, press the button, it doesn't matter, take the receiver, look how it sets, we have the Easter zircon back together scars this is easy once you have the bull halfway and we have to put it to that you can see both similarities, I mean, they're not undeniable, you know, I know some of you won't agree with me, right?

I like the scar better, you know which one is good. When we look at these things from a mechanical standpoint and the features that they have, they're very similar, but you know if there was one feature that stood out the most between the two rifles. It's the trigger and I'm not talking about installing a superstar trigger from the Lee guys on this I'm also not talking about the triggers that come with them, this has an easy purpose, it probably has one of the best military triggers I've ever seen. in my life and you'd probably pay an extra $400 to be able to buy a guy a Lee so he can get the same thing and get the same type of trigger, so you're looking at three grand more. that if you want a similar trigger, you're spending three four hundred dollars for uh, for a guy, look at the super scarred trigger, the barrels are completely the same, hammer forged chrome barrels, they both have muzzle brakes, they have this, they have aSimilar one piece upper receiver, both have removable lower receivers and I think the polymer the zirconia uses is a little stronger than the stock scar itself.

I definitely think zirconia is a higher quality stock, you know? There are other stock options for these, again they will cost you an extra three four hundred dollars, so probably giving one will be comparable to that. You are probably looking at the Kinetic Development Group, the ACR stock which you can't cost about four hundred dollars now the stock grips. pistol the scar will accept any pistol grip that is an arrow it will not however I will be ordering very soon There is another insert that goes on the back here for Elizabeth size sasquatch hands which will make it bigger.

The feel of this grip is very, very good, just a little tight in the way it comes, but this is a decision or can be changed, so we can change that. sweat shooting shooting both side by side there really isn't a difference in accuracy that I would find using the same ammo the same ranges you know the accuracy these things are there they are on equal footing I can't say one is better than the another, but when it comes to someone who is looking to spend their hard earned money on one of these rifles, you know what you are going to get and I think for the cost.

A long shot, the cz is better, it's a better investment, thanks for looking.
