Frequently Asked Questions
FN Scar 7.62 for sale

Is FN SCAR being discontinued?

FN discontinued its entire legacy commercial SCAR lineup, including the 16S, 17S, and 20S, but announced a next-generation version for 2026. Military SCAR production continues globally. Used and new-old-stock models remain available through retailers, typically priced around $3,850.

Why is the FN SCAR 17 so expensive?

The SCAR 17S costs around $3,850 due to substantial R&D investment, low production volumes compared to AR platforms, proprietary parts, and FN's military-grade manufacturing standards. These factors combined make it significantly more expensive than comparable AR-10 pattern rifles.

Is a SCAR 308 or 762?

FN makes both. The SCAR 16S shoots 5.56x45mm NATO. The SCAR 17S and SCAR H MK2 are chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, which is equivalent to .308 Winchester. So "SCAR 308" typically refers to the 17S or H MK2 models.

Which FN SCAR is the best?

"Best" depends on your needs. The legacy SCAR 16S shoots 5.56mm NATO for lighter recoil and faster follow-ups. The SCAR 17S in 7.62mm NATO delivers more power at distance. FN has also released a newer Gen 3 SCAR line. Current pricing runs around $3,850. Choose based on intended range and shooting style.

Are FN scars worth the money?

Value depends on your priorities. SCARs cost around $3,850 and deliver reliability, accuracy, and modularity that military forces trust. Tradeoffs include proprietary magazines and higher cost versus AR platforms. Owners who shoot regularly report consistent satisfaction, but comparable ARs offer similar capability for significantly less money.

How much does an FN SCAR cost?

FN SCAR rifles typically cost between $3,000 and $4,800. The SCAR 15P (5.56mm) has an MSRP of $3,359, while the SCAR 16S runs around $3,999 and the SCAR 17S (7.62mm) costs roughly $3,800 to $4,500. The SCAR 20S is also available. Prices vary by retailer and condition.

Can you legally own a FN SCAR?

Yes, in most U.S. states you can legally own an FN SCAR. Semi-automatic versions are federally legal for civilians, though some states like California and New York require compliant configurations. However, FN America has discontinued all commercial SCAR rifle models, so new units are no longer available through standard retail channels.

What's so good about the FN SCAR?

The SCAR is valued for its modularity, reliability in harsh conditions, and accuracy. It switches between calibers and barrel lengths for different missions. Downsides include high cost and proprietary magazines. Civilian availability is limited primarily by price and demand rather than any discontinuation of production.

What caliber is a 7.62 equal to?

7.62mm equals approximately .30 caliber. Common variants include 7.62x39mm (used in AK-47s) and 7.62x51mm NATO, which is equivalent to the civilian .308 Winchester. The specific cartridge depends on context, as several firearms use the 7.62mm diameter bullet.

What is the best ammo for 7.62 x51?

Best ammo depends on your use. For hunting, Federal Premium Vital-Shok 165gr offers good terminal performance. For target shooting, Federal Sierra MatchKing 175gr delivers strong accuracy. For general use, Aguila FMJ 150gr is reliable and affordable. Match your choice to your rifle's intended purpose.

Is a SCAR better than an AR?

Neither is objectively better—it depends on your needs. ARs offer greater modularity, lower cost, and extensive aftermarket support. SCARs feature piston operation, reduced recoil, and strong reliability in harsh conditions. Your intended use and budget should drive the decision.

What magazine does the FN SCAR use?

The SCAR-L (5.56mm) uses STANAG/AR-15 compatible magazines holding 10 or 30 rounds. The SCAR-H (7.62×51mm NATO) uses magazines derived from the FN FAL design, modified with a side catch and updated follower, available in 10 or 20-round capacities.

What magazine is compatible with the FN SCAR 17?

The SCAR 17S uses FN-made magazines based on a modified FAL pattern, available in 10- and 20-round capacities chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. The magazine well is set to NATO STANAG dimensions, so compatibility with FAL-pattern magazines is more nuanced than a simple incompatibility.

Can I shoot 308 out of a SCAR?

Yes, the SCAR 17S is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 Winchester and handles commercial .308 rounds reliably. Note that while .308 Win and 7.62x51mm are nearly identical, there are minor pressure differences, though most shooters use both interchangeably without issue.

What is the difference between 7.62 * 51 and 7.62 * x39?

7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) is a full-power rifle cartridge with higher pressure and longer effective range than the 7.62x39mm, which is an intermediate Soviet round used in AK-pattern rifles. The x51 shoots flatter and hits harder at distance; the x39 has less recoil and cheaper ammunition.
