Building on the heritage of the FN SCAR® family, FN America, LLC is excited to announce the release of the FN SCAR® 15P chambered in .300 Blackout. An ideal choice for home and personal defense applications or for everyday range use, the FN SCAR 15P is the semiautomatic pistol modeled after the FN SCAR-SC personal defense weapon originally designed for military and law enforcement.
The initial version of the FN SCAR 15P was launched in late 2022, chambered in 5.56x45mm. The new .300 Blackout pistol has been optimized in every way possible for the caliber, including gas regulator settings for subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 caliber flash hider and a dedicated magazine, giving customers the best possible experience and performance.
“The SCAR family is renowned for its uncompromising reliability, durability and accuracy – the hallmark of FN’s quality. We are proud to say that the FN SCAR 15P in .300 Blackout continues to expand the platform while delivering a shooting experience worthy of the name,” said Benjamin Voss, Sr. Product Manager, Long Guns, FN America, LLC. “With the addition of separately available cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel assemblies chambered in .300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm, the FN SCAR 15P continues to increase the configuration choices the SCAR family is known for.”
The FN SCAR 15P .300BLK offers the multi-caliber modularity that is the hallmark of the SCAR platform. The caliber, originally designed by Advanced Armament Corp, was optimized to perform in short-barreled configurations. Specifically developed with flexibility and mobility in mind, the pistol is extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 5.65 pounds unloaded and measuring under 20 inches in length with its 7.5-inch barrel.
Packaged in a premium, soft-sided carry case, the FN SCAR 15P .300BLK also ships with a dedicated .300 Blackout 30-round magazine from Magpul, along with a standard .30-caliber flash hider optimized for the projectile. The pistol is available in black or flat dark earth (FDE). With its overall compact size, non-reciprocating charging handle, lightweight configuration and reliable FN SCAR operating system, the FN SCAR 15P .300BLK is the perfect choice for home or personal defense and an ideal addition to any FN SCAR collection.
FN SCAR 15P Barrel Assemblies
Barrel assemblies chambered in .300 Blackout and 5.56x45mm will be available through the FN eStore and other authorized FN retailers, allowing owners to swap calibers. The barrel assemblies are cold hammer forged and chrome lined, and include the bottom Picatinny rail, gas block, piston, regulator and muzzle device. The SCAR 15P .300BLK assembly also includes the SCAR scraper tool. Shop these barrel assemblies and other accessories at authorized FN retailers or the FN eStore.
FN SCAR Family
The FN SCAR family is the industry standard in piston-driven, gas-operated, semi-automatic, modular rifles and pistols. Proven reliability comes from its short-stroke, piston-driven system, with long-term accuracy and durability provided by its fully free-floated, cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel. The monolithic aluminum receiver and polymer trigger module also provide significant weight savings in comparison to other rifles in its class.
In total, the FN SCAR family consists of four available consumer versions, from pistol to long-range precision rifle. With over two dozen base product options in multiple calibers (5.56x45mm, 7.62x51mm, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Blackout), plus available barrel assemblies, rear stock options and magazines, the various SCAR configurations are almost endless.
