The rugged monolithic upper receiver of the FN SCAR 17S NRCH provides ample space for rail-mounted accessories, thanks to its full-length MIL-STD-1913 rail. Additionally, the folding buttstock is designed to fit any shooter, with an adjustable length of pull and cheek rest height. This rifle truly offers both accuracy and versatility, all on a light recoiling piston-driven platform.
Let's take a look at the specifications of this rifle. It fires 7.62x51mm caliber rounds and operates using a short-stroke gas piston system. The magazine capacity is either 10 or 20 rounds, depending on your preference. Despite its power, the FN SCAR 17S NRCH is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at only 8.0 lb. The barrel length is 16.25 inches, and the overall length of the rifle can be adjusted from 36 to 38.5 inches. The barrel has a twist rate of 1:12 RH, ensuring accurate shots. The sights are adjustable folding front and folding/removable rear iron sights.
One of the primary features of the FN SCAR 17S NRCH is the new bolt carrier assembly with NRCH (Non-Reciprocating Charging Handles). This innovation allows for easy operation regardless of shooting position or choice of optics, while also reducing felt recoil. The monolithic receiver is made from hard-anodized, durable aluminum, and it features MIL-STD 1913 accessory rails at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions.
The barrel of the FN SCAR 17S NRCH is cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined, and fully free-floating, with a compensator to improve shooting performance. The stock is a telescoping side-folding polymer stock with an adjustable cheekpiece, providing a comfortable shooting experience. The rifle also comes with an A2-style pistol grip.
In terms of operating controls, this rifle is ambidextrous, with dual charging handles that remain static under fire and can be easily swapped from left to right. The safety lever and magazine release are also ambidextrous for convenience. An enlarged trigger guard allows for easier access when wearing gloves.
The magazine is made of steel, with a low friction follower for smooth and reliable feeding. With all these features and its legendary reputation for accuracy and versatility, the FN SCAR 17S NRCH 7.62X51 BLK 16 20RD is a top choice for serious shooters.
