FN Next Generation SCAR 17S Carbine 7.62x51 / .308 Win 16" Barrel - Flat Dark Earth

The next‑generation FN SCAR® 17S represents the most significant evolution of the iconic SCAR platform since its introduction in 2008. Now upgraded with 25+ enhancements—valued at over $1,000 with no price increase—the new SCAR 17S delivers improved recoil control, greater modularity, enhanced ergonomics, and expanded suppressor compatibility while retaining the unmistakable SCAR DNA trusted by military and professional users worldwide.

Chambered in 7.62x51mm, the SCAR 17S features a hydraulically buffered, two‑piece bolt carrier that dramatically reduces felt recoil and speeds up follow‑up shots. The extended receiver and M‑LOK forearm provide more grip surface, better heat management, and increased accessory mounting options. FN’s updated single‑stage trigger, true AR‑grip compatibility, and user‑configurable non‑reciprocating charging handles further modernize the platform.

Tested to 16,000 rounds, the cold hammer‑forged, chrome‑lined barrel is built for high‑volume shooting and is fully suppressor‑ready with a U.S.‑standard muzzle profile. Each rifle ships with premium accessories—including a vertical foregrip, piston removal tool, and a modular soft case—making the new SCAR 17S one of the most complete battle‑rifle packages on the market.
