Low prices on the FN SCAR 15P Flat Dark Earth 5.56 start at Champion Firearms-
A Real Game Changer. FN has set out to build the world's best 5.56 rifle with the SCAR 16, which is short for "U.S. Special Operations Command Assault Rifle". It is essentially the semi- automatic civilian version of the rifle issued to the Army Rangers.
At the heart of the FN SCAR 15P's design lies its short stroke gas piston system. The technology is similar to the U.S. M1 Carbine, FN-FAL or AK-47 rifles -- where expanding gases act upon a telescoping piston, which then operate the bolt.
This system allows for cleaner operation than direct gas impingement, with FN claiming an amazing 90% carbon reduction in the action when compared to the AR-10. Even though the SCAR has several features that contribute to this rifle's modest recoil, one of the most significant benefits of gas piston operation is that it helps tame larger calibers. By nature, the larger the caliber, the larger the bolt carrier required to handle the pressure -- and compared to 5.56, the 7.62 bolt is massive. Since the gas piston is only in contact with the bolt for a brief period, the momentum of the beefy carrier is spread out over a longer period of time, making recoil feel significantly lighter.
A 7.5" free floated cold hammer forged barrel provides tack driving accuracy for a semi- automatic rifle. It is then hard chromed to prevent corrosion and enhance feeding.
Cold Hammer Forging alters the steel at a molecular level creating the most accurate, longest lasting barrels available. The barrels are then Salt Bath Nitride treated, giving the steel the corrosion and abrasion resistance required to withstand years of use. A 1:7" twist rate allows the gun to stabilize 77 grain match bullets all the way down to 55 grain standard ball ammunition.
Rather than using a buffer tube and return spring inside the stock like an AR-15, the FN SCAR 15P's spring is entirely contained inside the upper receiver assembly.
One of the most unique features on this rifle is its gas regulator, which has two working positions plus a disassembly position. While the first position is for normal use, the second is designed to be used in conjunction with sound suppressors.
Made in the USA, the upper receiver of the FN SCAR 15P is constructed of an advanced 7075-T6 forged aluminum alloy, where the lower is synthesized from a durable, lightweight polymer. Integral to the upper receiver platform is a full- length Picatinny rail for mounting optics, which also includes three forward forend rails that offer attachment points for tactical accessories such as light, laser, bipod or vertical foregrip (none of which are included with the package).
However, the bolt catch is single sided. The finish is a flat dark earth, which is perhaps the sharpest looking of its kind in the entire industry. While many years of dependable service can be expected from this rifle, for repair or maintenance, similar to FN's subsidiary company's Browning and Winchester -- no written manufacturer's warranty is provided. Overall, the FN SCAR 15P is a highly accurate, well built, low recoil, state-of-the-art big, bore semi- automatic rifle.
