The FN SCAR 17S NRCH delivers precision firepower in the proven 7.62x51mm NATO chambering, bringing military-grade engineering to civilian shooters. This non-reciprocating charging handle variant eliminates the traditional side-mounted charging handle for enhanced ergonomics and reduced snag potential.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional AR-pattern rifles, the SCAR 17S features a short-stroke gas piston system that runs cleaner and cooler than direct impingement designs. The monolithic upper receiver machined from 7075-T6 aluminum provides superior rigidity compared to multi-piece assemblies. FN's cold hammer-forged barrel delivers consistent sub-MOA accuracy while withstanding extended firing schedules that would degrade conventional barrels.Key Features
