FN - SCAR 17S - Semi-Automatic Rifle - 16.25" Barrel - .308 Win - 20 Round Magazine - Non-Reciprocating Charging Handle - FDE - 98541-2

FN 98541-2: The legendary FN SCAR 17S is upgraded with Non-Reciprocating Charging Handles. The new dual charging handles enable any shooting position, grip style, optic choice while remaining user swappable in the field. The FN SCAR 17S ensures any braced or barrier-contact position shoots flawlessly. The rugged, monolithic upper receiver with a full-length MIL-STD-1913 rail provides more space for rail-mounted accessories, and a folding buttstock fits any shooter with an adjustable length of pull and cheek rest height. The FN SCAR 17S is the benchmark for accuracy and versatility from a light recoiling, piston-driven platform. The FN SCAR17S used an adjustable short-stroke gas operating system. FN modeled its Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) after the Heckler and Koch G36, which was an adaptation of the Armalite AR18. The proven system was well known for high reliability in all environments. The SCAR was made of an upper and lower receiver similar to the M16. An extruded aluminum upper and molded polymer lower kept the weight down and maintained superior strength. The upper boasted a flat top design with 1913 Picatinny along the top and three, six, and nine o'clock positions. A wide variety of optics and accessories can easily be added to the rifle using the 1913 rails. The SCAR also offered folding backup iron sights, the front being incorporated into the gas block. Controls mirrored those of the M16/M4 but were upgraded to be ambidextrous. This commonality in the manual of arms reduced training among personnel. All models featured a folding buttstock that made the rifle compact, a helpful feature for mechanized personnel. Chrome-lined cold hammer forged barrels were standard in different lengths depending on mission needs. The SCAR 17S uses a proprietary detachable box magazine.
