The FN SCAR 15P delivers proven battle-tested reliability in a compact 5.56x45mm platform designed for close-quarters applications. This pistol variant features FN's signature monolithic aluminum receiver and free-floating barrel system that maintains accuracy while reducing overall length. The factory-installed SB Tactical brace provides enhanced stability and control during rapid fire sequences.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard AR-15 pistols, the SCAR 15P utilizes a short-stroke gas piston system that runs cleaner and cooler than direct impingement designs. The monolithic upper receiver eliminates the need for a separate handguard, creating a more rigid platform that maintains zero under stress. FN's cold hammer-forged barrel delivers consistent sub-2 MOA accuracy despite the compact 7.5-inch length.
Key Features
- Short-stroke gas piston system reduces fouling and heat buildup
- Monolithic aluminum receiver with integrated Picatinny rail system
- Cold hammer-forged 7.5-inch barrel with 1:7 twist rate
- SB Tactical adjustable pistol brace for enhanced stability
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance
- Ambidextrous charging handle and safety selector
- Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility
The SCAR 15P excels in vehicle operations, home defense scenarios, and tactical applications where maneuverability trumps extended range. The gas piston system cycles reliably with various ammunition weights from 55-grain varmint loads to 77-grain match bullets. Weather sealing and corrosion-resistant materials ensure function in adverse conditions from desert sand to maritime environments.
