Subject: Chainswords on scouts?

P. 167 of the space marines codex says that any model in a scout squad may replace his boltgun with a shotgun or close combat weapon.
Can scouts be modeled with chainswords?

A chainsword is a close combat weapon. It has no special rules.

In the old books they got 'combat blades' for ccw and the sergeant got the chainsword but that also just counted as a ccw.

Strictly speaking a Chainsword does have its own entry in the rulebook's Melee Weapons section, but yes, it is simply a melee weapon with a Strength value of the user and no AP

There was a regular scout with a chainsword in that range, though...

Yeah, every group I know of considers a chainsword to be WYSIWYG for a CCW on a Space Marine. It has the same profile as a CCW, and could just as easily be referred to as a "space marine close combat weapon".

Until they change the stats on the chainsword it is lumped-in as a close combat weapon.
I know in Necromunda they made a point of it having different stats, but that was then...

Well, yeah, Necromunda was based on 2nd edition 40K, where chainswords did have different stats.
