FN SCAR 16S
Short-Stroke Gas Piston Operation
The FN SCAR 16S is the civilian-legal version of the battle-proven MK 16, developed for U.S. Special Operations Forces. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, the SCAR 16S offers superior reliability, lightweight handling, and adaptability in a rugged semi-automatic platform. Built for performance in any environment, this rifle combines cutting-edge military engineering with user-driven ergonomics that make it ideal for sport shooting, defense, or duty use.
The SCAR 16S features a 16.25″ cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined MIL-SPEC barrel that provides excellent accuracy and barrel life under hard use. It uses a short-stroke gas piston operating system, minimizing fouling and enhancing reliability compared to traditional direct impingement systems. The monolithic aluminum upper receiver includes an uninterrupted MIL-STD-1913 rail along the top for mounting optics, while three additional rails at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions allow for accessory customization.
Designed for true ambidextrous use, the SCAR 16S includes dual-sided safety selectors, magazine releases, and charging handles. Its non-reciprocating charging handle can be configured for either side, improving user flexibility. The polymer lower includes a side-folding, telescoping stock with an adjustable cheek riser, allowing users to customize their length of pull and comb height to suit any shooting style or optic setup.
Whether you’re a competitive shooter or a collector of elite tactical firearms, the FN SCAR 16S delivers a refined shooting experience with outstanding durability, exceptional accuracy, and unmatched battlefield pedigree. This rifle represents the gold standard in 5.56 NATO platforms.
