With all new configurations finishes and features the FN 15 TAC3 carbine gives you everything you need in an AR-style rifle from top to bottom made to FN’s exacting standards. Built from a MIL-SPEC foundation with HP/MPI-tested and certified bolt and M16-style bolt carrier group with mid-length gas system and H buffer the TAC3 performs reliably. Superior accuracy and performance come from the company’s signature chrome-lined cold hammer-forged barrel made from FN proprietary steel fully free-floated within a Hodge Defense-designed wedge lock handguard. The rigid handguard affixed with a proprietary barrel nut and anti-rotation technology provides continues 12 o’clock rail space and multiple M-LOK attachment points for lights lasers and other accessories while minimizing deflection during hard use. Outfitted with ambidextrous charging handle and selector and FN’s custom 6-position buttstock pistol grip and magazine the FN 15 TAC3 is a streamlined rugged carbine ready for any situation. – Specs – Caliber: 5.56x45mm – Operation: Direct impingement – Mag Capacity: 30 Rd. – Weight: 7 lb. – Barrel Length: 16 – Overall Length: 33-36.2 – PRIMARY FEATURES – FN Handguard with Hodge Defense-designed wedge-lock technology and proprietary barrel nut for an extremely rigid setup that allows for a fully free-floated barrel. – 16-inch government profile chrome-lined cold hammer-forged barrel made from FN’s proprietary steel. – M16-style MIL-SPEC bolt carrier group and HPT/MPI-tested bolt made from Carpenter 158 – Mid-length gas system with H buffer and pinned gas block – RECEIVER – MIL-SPEC forged aluminum receiver in either black anodize or factory Cerakote finish (FDE or Gray) – Mid-length gas system with H buffer and pinned gas block – M16-style bolt carrier group made from 8620 steel – HPT/MPI-tested and certified bolt made from Carpenter 158 – Gas keys properly sealed torqued and staked according to MIL-SPEC – BARREL – 16-inch government profile chrome-lined and cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:7 twist – FN Proprietary CMV barrel steel DIN Spec 21CrMoV5-11 – High Pressure tested MPI after proof firing – A2-style muzzle device – Fully free-floated – HANDGUARD – Extremely rigid 14 5/8-in Hodge Defense-designed wedge lock handguard composed of 6061 aluminum with proprietary barrel nut and anti-rotation technology resulting in minimal deflection – Continuous Picatinny rail at 12 o’clock position – Multiple M-LOK slots at 3 6 9 o’clock positions for lights lasers and other accessories. – FURNITURE – Custom FN 6-position snag-free buttstock with rubber butt pad and integrated QD attachment point – Ergonomic FN pistol at 19.5-degree grip angle and aggressive texturing for secure grip – TRIGGER – MIL-SPEC trigger – OPERATING CONTROLS – Fully ambidextrous Radian Raptor-LT charging handle – Fully ambidextrous Radian Talon long and short modular safety selector that are reversible with precision machined dovetail interface with spring-loaded retention stud to lock lever in place. – MIL-SPEC-style magazine and bolt release – MAGAZINE – 30-round FN polymer magazine
