The FN SCAR 17S NRCH delivers battle-proven reliability in a civilian-legal semi-automatic platform chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This non-reciprocating charging handle variant eliminates traditional charging handle interference during optic mounting and firing positions. Built on FN's combat-tested design, the rifle provides consistent accuracy and dependable function across diverse shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
The non-reciprocating charging handle system sets this SCAR 17S apart from standard models by preventing charging handle movement during cycling. This design eliminates potential interference with optics, bipods, or shooting positions that plague traditional reciprocating systems. The monolithic aluminum upper receiver provides a rigid platform for consistent accuracy, while the multi-position gas regulator allows fine-tuning for various ammunition weights and suppressor use.Key Features
