The FN 15 Guardian applies the FN battle-proven blueprint to a brand new MSR making FN quality accessible to all home defenders and sport shooters. Proven to perform on any front this new carbine has the critical upgrades for tack-driving accuracy with a nitrided 16-inch CMV steel MIL-B-11595 barrel and 15-inch free-float aluminum handguard. The mid-length gas system reduces recoil impulse with a low-profile gas block impinging gas to the mil-spec bolt carrier. - At 6.6 lbs. the light fast-handling carbine includes the right upgrades for constant control. The pistol grip and magazines are in-mold stippled for superior grip with the 6-position stock offering a tight lock-up and an ideal cheek weld. A 24-slot M-LOK free-float aluminum handguard offers all the mounting real estate for lights and sights and an anti-rotation pinch-lock design mates to the upper receiver ready to mount any optic. - Specs - Caliber: 5.56x45mm - Operation: Direct impingement - Mag Capacity: 30 Rd. - Weight: 6.6 lb. - Barrel Length: 16 - Overall Length: 32.1-35.5 - Twist Rate: 1:7 RH - PRIMARY FEATURES - 15-inch free-float handguard with continuous 12 O'clock Picatinny rail 24 M-LOK slots at 3 6 and 9 O'clock - Precision-tuned 16-inch barrel mid-length - 8620 steel nitride-coated bolt carrier and 9310 steel MPI bolt - Mid-length gas system low-profile gas block - RECEIVER - Slick-side upper receiver reduces snag points and cleaning time - 9310 bolt MPI/HP tested - Gas key MIL-SPEC sealed torqued and staked - Forged 7075 lower receiver; hard coat anodized - BARREL - 16-inch nitride coated barrel; 1:7 twist - 4150 Chrome-Moly-Vanadium Steel MIL-B-11595 MPI/HP tested - High pressure tested MPI after proof firing - A2-style flash hider 1/2x28 TPI - HANDGUARD 15-inch extruded aluminum free-floating continuous top rail 24 M-LOK slots - FURNITURE - Custom FN 6-position snag-free buttstock with multiple sling attachment points - Ergonomic FN pistol grip at 19.5 angle and aggressive texturing for complete control - TRIGGER MIL-SPEC trigger - OPERATING CONTROLS MIL-SPEC charging handle and safety selector - MAGAZINE 30-round FN polymer magazine
