FN America issued a mandatory recall for hundreds for FN SCAR rifles, according to Aug. 10announcement.

The gun maker says certain FN SCAR 17S rifles contain a bolt that does not meet internal hardness specifications and firing the rifles could result in catastrophic failure. A total of 417 defective rifles were shipped July 28-29.

You don't see an FN recall very often. I hope catastrophic is referring to rifles not shooters. 417 reported that's not good.

Sell me your now crappy rifle at a good deal. No need to keep those pesky, potentially unreliable 17s'

Seriously though, been looking for a good deal on one for a looooooooong time. Few and far between for sure.

I need your SCAR!

Someone sell me one for a non ass rape price! Lol
I have right at 5K in mine, my last toy. Been wanting one for a long time, the only thing I have not done was go to the Billet lower.
