Ohh look you can hide 2" of barrel for $120
$1,000 for a barrel??? 
Consider this for $125 instead. All you have to do is use a hand reamer to open up the gas port a little bit until it cycles.
And the reason you can't have an FN 10" barrel is that federal law prohibits the importation of barrels as a stand alone part. FN manufactures their barrels in Belgium and none in the U.S.
The SCAR is a finicky beast. You can't just chop the barrel since each gas block is tuned to each barrel. So I have to find an OEM SCAR-L barrel in the length I want (10"). Good luck there... fortunately for me, I may have found a source, but it'll be about $1K. If I can get one, I'll do the suppressor stamp as well.

"Just a heads up that I ran an additional 150 rds. of surplus M193 thru my SCAR CQC today and it ran like a sewing machine with no malfunctions and bolt locked back on every spent magazine. Accuracy wise, I was consistently smashing 4" clays at 100 yds using my 4X Spectre DR. All in all I amvery happy with the project. I'll keep reporting back as I get more rounds through it."
