Matrix EGLM Type 40mm Grenade Launcher w/ Magwell Adapters for ASC MK16 MK17 Series Airsoft Rifle
(Color: Dark Earth)

"So for those who are having issues mounting this to their ARES SCAR or pretty much any rifle with a solid pic rail here's something to be mindful of.

My model, like many here, would not mount to my ARES SCAR out of the box. Upon closer inspection I discovered some casting flash on the body of the launcher mount where it interfaces with the pic rail which was preventing the EGLM from fully mounting to my SCAR.

I hammered the flashing down gently with a brass hobby mallet. You can find these at harbor freight. Don't go too crazy because cast parts like to crack when struck with large mallets. You want a small mallet with a head the size of your thumbnail. Gently, like gentle tapping gently, flatten the casting flash. You'll see it. It's sharp so don't try to flatten it by hand. Some black paint may flake off during this process but no big deal as it's hidden when installed.

You'll also need a precision screw driver kit to adjust the tension on the mount. This is done with the latches closed. Backing the screw out creates more tension while threading it in loosens it.

I was able to mount my Matrix EGLM after removing the left over casting flash and adjusting the latches.

I had to do this with the extended trigger removed, once I had it fitted I was able to remove it and refit with the trigger assembly to the launcher. I had to use a rotating motion while closing the latches to get them to hook correctly on the pic rail on the ARES SCAR. As I don't intend to ever remove this launcher I decided to back the adjustment screws out further until the latches could not be opened by hand and I sealed the heads off with blue locktite. This solution is reversible if I need to access the internals of the gun later on down the road.

Installed it's rock solid.

People complaining about the plastic not matching the color of the rifle, a note. Real SCARs are a combination of different shades of FDE. The ARES SCAR coupled with the Matrix ELGM is a better match of various tans than the real SCAR is.

The difference in shades is a feature not a bug as it serves to break up the rifle's outline at distance and act as a sort of natural camouflage. At one point the receivers of different lots were also anodized in different shades of tan to gold as well in order to make each gun a close, but unique, color scheme so it would mesh with the colors of other rifles in a unit to produce a greater disruption effect.

This feature at one point was touted by FN as a selling point of the rifle during it's developmental phase. Back when the SCAR still had a SAW pistol grip.

So please keep that in mind when you down the tan parts on any SCAR for not matching.

This replica ships with a metal rifled barrel which is accurate to the real deal. It comes standard with two trigger group assemblies one for the heavy SCAR and one for the light. While initially I was confused and thought my unit was defective due to it not mounting I'm happy I didn't just opt to return it and instead worked through the problems to find a solution and get it mounted. I'm impressed and very happy with my purchase and I would recommend this launcher to anyone with a SCAR.

"For those wondering if it fits on the TM SCAR i can confirm that it does!

"Great attachment for any Scar-L or Scar-H build. It fits great on my Cybergun Scar-L and fits on relatively easy. However, exercise caution upon attachment, as it is a tad bit more finnicky than a standard M203.
