It’s official: FN America has announced the completion of production for the legacy SCAR line. In a statement shared on their official social channels, FN confirmed:

“U.S. production of the legacy SCAR 16S, 17S, and 20S has been completed. What’s in the market now is the last.”

A Legacy Forged in Modern Warfare

For nearly two decades, the SCAR platform has stood as a symbol of modern modular rifle design. Born from a program for U.S. Special Operations, the SCAR’s clean lines, piston-driven reliability, and distinctive silhouette earned it a permanent place in both professional and enthusiast circles. It became more than a firearm — it became a statement piece.

The End of an Era

With this announcement, FN has officially moved the SCAR family to its Discontinued Products listing, signaling the end of regular factory production. No successor has been announced, and FN has not detailed future plans beyond continued support for existing owners.

For those who carried, trained with, or collected these rifles, this moment feels like a page turning. The SCAR is not simply leaving production — it’s joining the ranks of modern classics.

As the final SCAR rifles make their way into private hands and collections, enthusiasts looking to secure remaining inventory, accessories, or compatible platforms can find current FN listings at Cobra Arms.
