FN SCAR 15P [BLK] *10-ROUND*

What sets the SCAR 15P apart

Built on the same monolithic aluminum receiver design as other SCAR models, the FN SCAR 15P [BLK] *10-ROUND* pares overall length down to 19.75 inches by eliminating a full stock while keeping key features: a chrome-lined, free-floating 7.5-inch barrel, M1913 Picatinny rails at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock, plus a vertical rear Picatinny rail and QD sling cup for fast attachment. At 5.65 pounds it’s nearly a pound lighter than the SC rifle, improving maneuverability in tight spaces.

Key features and tactical advantages

Piston-driven reliability

The short-stroke gas piston keeps fouling away from the bolt and carrier group for improved reliability under adverse conditions. The two-position user-adjustable gas regulator lets you tune performance for suppressed or unsuppressed use, which is a real operational benefit.

Compact, packable platform

Under 20 inches overall and designed to remain out of SBR territory without a stock, the 15P is tailored for vehicle carry, close-quarters defense, or as a compact option for range duty. The non-reciprocating charging handle can be swapped left or right to suit user preference.

5.56 NATO — why it matters here

Chambered for 5.56 NATO, the SCAR 15P offers low recoil, readily available ammunition, and effective terminal performance in short-barrel applications. For home defense and mobility roles, 5.56 balances controllability and magazine capacity with minimal overpenetration when paired with proper ammunition choices.
