The pre-NRCH configuration stands out for its reciprocating left-side charging handle and classic SCAR control layout. This example is Belgian-made with FN Herstal receiver markings and FNH USA Fredericksburg VA import marks, aligning it with early SCAR 17S production attributes that many buyers look for.
The 16.25 in barrel is cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined, and free-floating, with a 1:12 RH twist and a threaded muzzle. The adjustable gas regulator pairs with the short-stroke gas piston and rotating bolt for reliable operation with 7.62x51 NATO.
The monolithic aluminum upper integrates MIL-STD-1913 rails at 12/3/6/9 with a full-length T-marked top rail. Folding iron sights include a front sight integrated with the gas block and a rear sight with a rotary drum, providing a ready sighting system.
The FDE polymer stock side-folds, telescopes for length of pull, and includes an adjustable cheekpiece and rubber buttpad. The polymer lower and ambidextrous manual safety and paddle-style magazine release deliver a versatile handling setup.
Capacity is 20+1 with a proprietary detachable box magazine. A clean bore, solid factory configuration, and included box, manual, and factory 20-round magazine round out a well-kept SCAR 17S package.
