Yeah I noticed that typo, makes one wonder about the image. Not holding my breath, just would be awesome to have a 6.5C SCAR 17, being in Wyoming right now. Wind is a bitch. |

Mk 262 or M193? forget it FN should have released a 300 black out model to compete with the Sig Rattler. |

I think FN is going to follow the same playbook as they did for the 20S, we get the least desirable barrel option first, then once all the retards that will buy it no matter what(like me  ) have one they’ll release a 300blk and probably 10” 5.56 version and barrel assemblies for the more discerning buyers.

I’m now in the shut up and take my money camp. I’ll gladly help FN clear out their 7.5” 5.56 inventory and bitch until they sell me an overpriced 300blk barrel.  The BABY SCAR Has Arrived! : FN SCAR 15P | First MAG Review |

Oh shit! That was quick, already has a bid too. I’ll guess it ends at $4275. |

Although I have a sneaking suspicion all the institutional customers are going 300blk so they are foisting the 7.5” 5.56 guns on us. Here’s how it probably when down at HQ: “what are we going to do with all these 7.5” barrels? everyone wants 300blk now” “I know! Let’s sell them to the Americans, those gun nuts will buy anything” “hahaha, great idea, let’s go have some chocolate and waffles” |

And you guys thought a 10" was loud, shot flame, and was ballistically challanged. FN says. Hold my beer, and watch this. |

| Anyone heard anything through the grapevine? The pistols came out... While I'd prefer a factory SBR (long shot with FN it seems), I'd be just as happy getting the PDW stock and and pistol to put it on but I've only seen one FN stock get listed in the last six months. |

As stupid as the 5.56 SC is, that is still a shame seeing them in the hands of people like that. |

Once they finally unfucked the 20S and cane out with a 1:10 twist 308 and 6.5 variant I thought to myself “here we go, they’re finally going to give us what we want and take advantage of the SCAR platform” then the cluster fuck with the 6.5 pierced primer issue and no additional barrel assembly lengths, profiles, caliber options or even the ability to keep the two existing options in stock. Just when I’m ready to write them off the 15P is released, “here we go again, civilian version of the SC, Belgian made, FDE and Black, FN is giving consumers what they want, I’m sure stocks and 300blk barrels will be available soon…” Once again FN fails to follow through. |

Got a chance to install the SC stock. It requires light modification to a SCAR 16/s - one of the two sling points in the rear needs to be removed. It certainly shrinks the volume of the package and feels decent. The boot has really grown on me so my guess is it wont be permanent but it's definitely different! Should get a chance to have it in the air in the next couple weeks and see if makes a difference in confined spaces.  |

Sad I keep missing out on those. I don’t even have the 15P yet so I may breakdown and buy the package deal from Arms Unlimited. |
