New ACCURACY INTERNATIONAL COVERT SNIPER RIFLE – LONG ACTION

New GEN2 FN SCAR® 17S HEAVY 7.62X51MM - 16.25" BARREL - FLAT DARK EARTH Since 2008, the iconic SCAR® has been the industry standard in gas-operated, semi-auto, modular rifles for the most demanding shooters. And now, it’s even better, with more than 25 innovative upgrades for the U.S. commercial market—upgrades that are worth more than $1,000 with no price increase to consumers. Suppressor compatible and tested to 16,000 rounds, the next generation SCAR® 17S heavy carbine offers reduced felt recoil and faster follow-up shots thanks to a hydraulically buffered, two-piece bolt carrier, along with an extended receiver and forearm and more adaptability than ever. The best part: it retains the legendary SCAR look and performance. Accessories included: vertical foregrip, piston removal tool and premium soft case with modular inserts allowing users to customize case interior. The FN SCAR 17S in 7.62x51mm NATO with Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish represents the next-generation evolution of the iconic battle rifle, incorporating over 25 innovative upgrades without increasing the price for U.S. consumers. This semi-automatic, short-stroke gas piston platform delivers legendary reliability and modularity, now enhanced with a hydraulically buffered two-piece bolt carrier that significantly reduces felt recoil and enables faster, more controlled follow-up shots. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating 16.25-inch heavy barrel with compensator is tested to 16,000 rounds for high-volume durability, while user-changeable barrel capability allows customization for length or even caliber swaps. The extended receiver and integrated rail system feature M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for expanded accessory mounting and improved forward grip surface, with a heat shield-equipped window for easy access to the regulator and piston removal. Fully ambidextrous controls shine through with oversized bolt catch/release, elongated magazine release, customizable selector levers offering multiple configurations, user-configurable non-reciprocating charging handles and a two-position adjustable gas regulator for optimized performance suppressed or unsuppressed—ideal when paired with low back-pressure forward-venting options like the FN QD762. The telescoping side-folding polymer stock includes an adjustable cheekpiece, true AR grip compatibility for personalized ergonomics and QD sling points for tactical versatility in a compact 36-38.5 inch overall length. Weighing just 8.9 pounds unloaded, this suppressor-compatible SCAR 17S excels in demanding scenarios from precision shooting to dynamic operations, backed by a premium soft case with modular inserts, vertical foregrip and piston removal tool included. The steel-body 20-round magazine with low-friction follower ensures smooth feeding, while the improved FN single-stage trigger provides crisp control and feel. Retaining the classic SCAR silhouette and proven performance, this upgraded model sets a new benchmark for adaptability, shootability and value in the heavy carbine category.
