Description
The FN SCARA(R) 15P in 5.56x45mm is the benchmark for reliability and versatility from a light recoiling, piston-driven platform, now configured in an ultra-compact pistol. This enduring platform enables all shooting positions, locking in any grip on the upper receiver under fire, a 7.5" barrel delivers unmatched maneuverability. Adaptable: Non-reciprocating, dual charging handles remain static under fire, shooters grip the rail at any location. Fully-ambi operating controls adapts to any shooter. Reliable: Short-stroke gas piston system with an adjustable low-flash gas regulator. The new bolt carrier produces less felt recoil perfected for a pistol-length gas system. Mfg: Fn America

NFA Warning
AR pistols require a stabilizing brace, not a rifle stock. Adding a stock to a pistol creates a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) requiring NFA registration.
