Low prices on the FN SCAR 17 Flat Dark Earth Gen 2 .308/7.62 start at Champion Firearms-
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.

At the heart of the FN SCAR 17 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 16.25" 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 1:12" twist rate allows the gun to stabilize 168 grain match bullets all the way down to 147 grain standard ball
The primary reason why the M-14 was replaced during the Vietnam War was due to the design's uncontrollable muzzle rise in full auto fire, which directs recoil over the top of shooter's shoulder. Similar to the M-16, the SCAR directs recoil directly into the shoulder where it belongs to during sustained fire. When you combine gas piston operation with the FN's in- line system and PWS muzzle device, it becomes a real game changer.
Rather than using a buffer tube and return spring inside the stock like an AR-10, the FN SCAR 17's spring is entirely contained inside the upper receiver assembly. The buttstock is adjustable for length-of-pull to fit an individual shooter's dimensions, but also folds to the right side for easier transport or while operating in confined quarters.
When folded, the buttstock locks onto the empty case deflector to prevent it from flopping around. To help maintain proper eye relief when using optics, the buttstock has a flip- up adjustable comb which instantly establishes proper cheek weld. The checkered A2 pistol grip should be familiar to any AR-15 owner and provides controlled handling.
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 17 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).
The FN SCAR 17 has folding sights that are fully adjustable for windage correction, with a dual rear aperture marked for distance and elevation. Both the magazine release and safety switches are ambidextrous for use by right or left hand shooters.
