The FN SCAR 17S NRCH delivers battle-proven reliability in a civilian-legal semi-automatic platform chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. This Flat Dark Earth variant combines the modularity and accuracy that made the SCAR system the choice of special operations forces worldwide with enhanced features for civilian shooters.
What Makes This Different
The SCAR 17S NRCH (Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle) eliminates the side-mounted charging handle movement during firing, providing a cleaner sight picture and reducing snag potential. The monolithic upper receiver with integrated MIL-STD 1913 rail extends from the chamber to the muzzle, offering 13 inches of uninterrupted mounting space. The gas-operated, short-stroke piston system runs cleaner than direct impingement designs and maintains consistent performance across temperature extremes.Key Features
