There are a few obvious differences/updates from the original MREX. M-Lok slots are present in more locations than the previous model, spanning the entire length of the MREX MKII. M-Lok has been added to the 2 oclock and 10 oclock position as a new mounting location and shield from the gas block. The MKII has the desired step down forward of the front folding sight like the MREX, but no picatinny. The traditional picatinny in this 12 oclock position has been replaced with M-Lok slots allowing for more mounting options. The MKII will be offered in three different lengths instead of two. The lengths available will be the MKII 6.5, 4.25, and 2.2. These designations signify the length the MREX MKII extends (in inches) beyond the SCAR upper receiver. The 6.5in length is the ideal full size rail extension, same as its predecessor (MREX M-Lok 6.5). We have updated the MREX M-Lok 4.9 (Mid-length) to an overall length of 4.25in to accommodate the needs of issued rifle users. This length is ideal for use on a SCAR MK17 with a 13in barrel and issued FNH suppressor. Finally, the MKII 2.2 is ideal for use with a SCAR 16 10in SBR configurations, or any SCAR user looking to add M-Lok to their rifle without having a rail that extends beyond the gas block. All versions of the SCAR MREX MKII will be available in Type III hard coat anodized black and Magpul Flat Dark Earth Cerakote. Like the original MREX there is no weight penalty by adding the MREX MK II to your SCAR. The MKII rails are easier to install with less hardware in unnecessary locations. Like the original MREX, once installed on your barrel assembly, the MREX MKII can stay attached to the barrel, allowing easier change to configuration.

Extended Rail –
Great product for extending your rail. Looks nice and is well made. Item light weight and takes about 20ish minutes to install only with the tools included. Instructions don’t address an internal barrel bridge in the receiver. I needed to contact the manufacturer to ask about the item. I didn’t end up needed it but it would have been nice to know that from the installation instructions. Overall good product.

Purchased 2 of these bad boys. One for my SCAR 16 and one for the 17 and I am very happy that I did so. The quad rail of the SCAR is ugly, uncomfortable, and quite frankly obsolete. This rail extension is very ascetically pleasing and functional. Additional real estate for accessories is appreciated but I like it for the fact that it provides a better/more comfortable C-clamp while operating. Install was easy courtesy of a couple of YouTube videos and took me a little over 20 minutes on the first one, 15 minutes on the second. This is an upgrade that is well worth the price, it’s just frustrating that such an expensive rifle requires it.

Added the 4.25 inch MREX to my Scar 17 and it's the perfect fit. It's the right amount of additional rail space without being too front-heavy. Installation was a lot easier than I thought it would be. One thing to keep in mind is that there is a mounting screw on the underside of the rail that limits the placement of under barrel attachments. This is a SCAR flaw, not a flaw with this rail system. Overall the Mrex provides a sleek and modular rail system that significantly increases overall rail space compared to the factory picatiny rails on the Scar 17. I have long been a proponent of keeping icon firearms like the SCAR in their original form. However, I went out on a limb to give the Mrex a try and I am completely sold.

Fantastic rail for the SCAR 17. I’ve always loved my SCAR, but the platform doesn’t offer much in the way of accessory mounting options. This rail really opens up the rifle to a lot of different configurations. Plus, it looks awesome and it’s extremely lightweight.

Handguard arrived with screws, no lock tight, no instructions the bigger issue is the giant optics planet sign on the outside of the box. Box arrived had been clearing torn open not damaged during shipping and the tape that closes the handguard box had the tape that keeps the box closed was neatly cut. Had this been an expensive item I am not sure it would have ever made it. Discrete packaging needed just my opinion. Thanks

Best hang guard for the scar out there. A bit difficult to install. I had to get a blow torch for the lock on the scar barrel. How ever it was completely worth it. Looks amazing and feels better. Finally no more crappy rails on the side.
