Description

The FN SCAR 16S NRCH delivers proven military-grade reliability in a civilian-legal semi-automatic platform. This battle-tested design brings FN's Special Operations Forces rifle technology to sporting applications with enhanced ergonomics and modularity.

What Makes This Different

The SCAR 16S features a short-stroke gas piston system that runs cleaner and cooler than direct impingement alternatives. The monolithic upper receiver eliminates the need for separate handguards while providing a continuous Picatinny rail system. This design maintains zero even when accessories are removed and reinstalled, offering consistent accuracy that traditional AR-15 platforms struggle to match.

Key Features

Short-stroke gas piston system for reliable cycling with minimal fouling
Monolithic aluminum upper receiver with continuous MIL-STD-1913 rail
Side-folding telescoping stock with adjustable cheekpiece for custom fit
Ambidextrous charging handle and magazine release for left/right-handed operation
Free-floating barrel with 1:7 twist rate optimized for 62-77 grain projectiles
STANAG magazine compatibility accepts standard AR-15/M16 magazines
Hard-coat anodized Flat Dark Earth finish for corrosion resistance

Field performance demonstrates the SCAR's adaptability across multiple roles. The 16.25-inch barrel balances velocity retention with maneuverability for both precision shooting and close-quarters applications. The gas system self-regulates for reliable function with various ammunition weights and suppressor use. Weather sealing and robust construction maintain function in adverse conditions where lesser rifles fail.
