Earlier today FN America released this statement on social media in response to online rumors regarding the future of the SOF Combat Assault Rifle, developed in 2007 in response to a USSOCOM requirement. Production for commercial sales for all models except the 15P have ceased.
Contract production will continue and there are ample magazines available for current customers but barrels and other accessories will be limited.
“Global military SCARs…are still in demand.”
Uh huh.
If FN were smart they’d bring their MRGG SCAR to the commercial market.
Could be…
I think there’s a good reason their wording here uses “legacy” a lot.
There’s rumors that a SCAR Mk 3 is being submitted to the UK’s Project Grayburn with a number of changes brought over from the MRGG submissions.
I’ve heard of weapon referred to as “SCAR 2.”
I wonder if the “FN ARKA” trademark that was filed earlier this year might be its commercial name
I blame a lot of Millennials brought up on the Lion King.
just sayin
Now all the people who have these will look further down on us “poors” for what will be soon a collectible on the civilian market.
