The Civilian FN SCAR 16s is now available to civilians in legal states, with a 10 round magazine or a 30 round magazine. Rumor has it that 1000 were shipped for initial production with them being categorized as “Special Edition Models” mainly for the reason they have markings on both sides of the gun. Regular ones will only have markings on one side. What I mean by markings are Serial # and manufacture information. So I wanted to start a post on the FN SCAR for civilians, mainly to see if anyone has any more information on them.
As of now the MSRP was around $2700.00 and unfortunately we have a few other factors to contribute to the price even being worse. 1. They are not being made in the United States but are imported causing an importation fee to be added, the United States factory will only allow military production of FN SCAR’s in the US. 2. The “OBAMA FACTOR” which will cause prices to be raised even more. 3. Demand. 4They are limited production editions with low serial numbers causing the price to be even more high.
So what do you end up with, you end up with a rifle going for over $4000.00 dollars. No joke go on GUNBROKER, there is one on there for $4000.00 and there is still 5 days into the auction.
May the games begin.
Please give your 2 cents I am interested,
Me personally $3000.00 is the limit for an FN SCAR I will pay, only because I find it to be a very good gun, and it may replace all US Military small arms soon; as it already had taken SOCOM.
