Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FN scar legal in California?
FN SCAR rifles can be legal in California if configured with a fixed magazine and other required modifications. California-compliant versions of the SCAR 15P, 16, 17, and 20 exist. Standard configurations may not comply. Always verify your specific model meets current California law before purchasing.
Has the FN SCAR been discontinued?
Yes, FN discontinued all commercial SCAR rifle models. The SCAR 16S, 17S, 15P, 17, and 20 are no longer in production. FN announced this in October 2025. Used inventory remains available through some retailers, typically around $3,162–$3,611.
Is the SCAR a heavy rifle?
FN markets the SCAR 17 and 17S as "heavy" variants because they chamber 7.62x51mm NATO, a full-power rifle round. At roughly 8.9 lbs, they're moderately weighted for that caliber class. The lighter SCAR 16S in 5.56x45mm isn't classified as heavy.
What are the common problems with the FN SCAR 17S?
Common issues include a rattling rear stock, limited cheek weld positions, and shearing folding stock pins. Some users dislike the extensive plastic components. Ammunition heavier than 168 grains may cause stability problems. Overall reliability is strong, though occasional quality control inconsistencies have been reported.
