This Viper Western Camo SCAR 17S is a 1/500 distributor exclusive with a distinctive pattern that includes the word "VIPER" and a QR/Data-matrix label on the upper. It retains the legacy reciprocating charging handle (pre-NRCH), a detail valued by buyers who prefer this original configuration.
Built around FN’s short-stroke gas piston system with an adjustable gas regulator, the rifle offers reliable operation with 7.62x51 NATO. The 16.25-inch barrel is threaded and fitted with a muzzle brake/compensator, and the 1:12 RH twist supports common .308/7.62 NATO bullet weights.
The rifle’s monolithic, full-length 1913 top rail pairs with additional 1913 side and bottom rails on the handguard for accessory mounting. Folding, adjustable iron sights are included, with the front integrated at the gas block and a diopter-style folding rear sight.
Ergonomics and controls are modern and ambidextrous where it counts, including the magazine release and safety/selector. The side-folding, telescoping polymer stock adjusts for length of pull and wears a rubber buttpad. Enhancements include a Geissele Super SCAR two-stage trigger and a TangoDown BG-18 pistol grip, offering a refined trigger break and confident hand fit.
Capacity is 20+1, and the rifle is marked "FN COLUMBIA, SC USA" and "SCAR 17S cal. 7.62x51," confirming its U.S. manufacture and chambering. Overall presentation and condition make this limited edition a compelling option for both shooting and collecting.
