FN America is releasing three new accessory products for the FN SCAR family, the FN SCAR-SC Rear Stock and two different barrel assemblies for the FN SCAR 17S chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. These new accessories continue the modularity that the SCAR is known for and increase the configuration choices for SCAR owners.
“From its original development for the U.S. military, the SCAR platform was designed to be configurable for various user needs,” said Ben Voss, senior product manager for FN America, LLC. “The new rear stock and Creedmoor barrels deliver on that promise, making the SCAR more versatile and customizable than ever before.”
FN SCAR-SC Rear Stock
The FN SCAR-SC Rear Stock is a three-position telescoping rear stock that is compatible with all FN SCAR products. The rear stock can telescope and completely collapse alongside the receiver for an extremely compact setup. The stock also features a contoured rubber cheek- and buttpad for an ergonomic and comfortable fit.
The FN SCAR-SC Rear Stock includes the rear plate and screws required for installation on the FN SCAR 16S, 17S and 20S. FN has also created an instructional video for owners who want to complete the installation themselves.
FN SCAR 17S 6.5 Creedmoor Barrels
The two new barrel assemblies allow FN SCAR 17S owners to convert their rifle to 6.5 Creedmoor, a popular cartridge for long-range shooting. The barrel assemblies are cold-hammer-forged and chrome-lined, giving them the same craftsmanship as the original FN SCAR rifle barrel. The new barrels are available in 16.25-inch standard length and 20 inches for enhanced long-range precision shooting. Each barrel assembly ships with a three-prong flash hider that reduces muzzle flash, gas block, piston, regulator, front sight assembly, Picatinny rail and high-pressure bolt and firing pin that are backward compatible with rifles chambered in 7.62 NATO.
