(McLean, VA) FN America, LLC is pleased to announce the release of the highly-anticipated FN SCAR® 20S precision rifle, based on the FN MK20 SSR or Sniper Support Rifle currently fielded within USSOCOM. The 7.62x51mm-chambered rifle has been purpose-built to achieve superior long-range accuracy.

“The FN SCAR 20S is the latest addition to our battle-proven line-up of FN SCAR products and the first commercial SCAR release since we launched the 17S in 2010,” said Mark Cherpes, President and CEO for FN America, LLC. “Customers will notice that the FN SCAR 20S shares more commonalities than differences with the MK20 SSR and reaffirms our commitment to producing commercial versions of our iconic military firearms.”

The rifle achieves 1-MOA (minute of angle) accuracy to 100 yards with match-grade ammunition out of the box. The 20-inch, 1:12 twist, heavy profile barrel and barrel extension, and extended, monolithic receiver add the additional rigidity that reduces fluctuation or movement between shots while the extended receiver provides the much-needed rail space for high-powered optics. The custom-designed MK20 SSR buttstock adjusts to length of pull and comb height to customize the fit to each shooter while in the prone firing position, and the factory-installed, double-stage Geissele Super SCAR trigger achieves a 3.5-4.5-pound trigger pull.

30 Years of Commitment to Accident Prevention

FAIRFAX, Va. – The Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, NRA’s groundbreaking gun accident prevention course for children, has achieved another milestone by reaching its 31 millionth child.

Created in 1988 by past NRA President Marion P. Hammer, in consultation with elementary school teachers, law enforcement officers, and child psychologists, the program provides pre-K through third grade children with simple, effective rules to follow should they encounter a firearm in an unsupervised setting: “If you see a gun: STOP! Don’t Touch. Run Away. Tell a Grown-Up.”

More than 26,000 educators, law enforcement agencies, and civic organizations have taught the program since 1988. Volunteers for the Eddie Eagle program come from diverse backgrounds, but they share a commitment to keeping children safe. For 30 years these dedicated child safety advocates have helped bring the GunSafe message to millions of children in their communities. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, incidental firearm-related deaths among children in Eddie Eagle’s targeted age group have declined nearly 80 percent since the program’s launch.

This semi-automatic sniper rifle, built on the AR-15 platform, was previously only available to the military. The MK-18 includes a number of innovative and proprietary design features, such as its self-regulating piston system. This system removes carbon fouling from the upper receiver and bolt carrier assembly.

Additional innovative features include an ambi-bolt catch/release pad located near the lower-front portion of the trigger well. This feature allows the shooter to easily lock or release the bolt with their trigger finger from a more natural shooting position. The SWORD MK-18 is further enhanced by the fold-down side charging handle, which gives the operator a much wider range of options when it comes to mounting optics. Additionally, the side charging handle makes running the rifle smoother and more instinctive than what standard AR-15 charging handle designs allow.

The SWORD MK-18 rifle is available in .338 Lapua Mag., .338 Norma Mag., and .300 Norma Mag. Now available nationwide, this rifle has a MSRP of $6,995.00. Read more
