FN adds FN-15 pistol and FN-15 tactical carbine to its 2018 lineup

FN America, a subsiduary of FN Herstal, rolls out new variations on its FN 15 series, introducing a pistol variant in two calibres and a flat dark earth carbine ahead of one of the industry’s biggest events, SHOT Show 2018.

Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO or .300 BLK, the FN-15 pistols offer barrel lengths in either 10.5 or 12 inches. The cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrels feature a 1-in-7-inch twist paired with carbine and pistol length gas systems for “optimal performance,” according to the company.

Each AR pistol sports a M-LOK equipped rail, fixed low-profile stainless-steel gas block and FN combat trigger weighing between 4.5 and 7.75 pounds. Rounding out the AR pistol lines accoutrements is a SBX-K Pistol Stabilising Brace, added to make the pistols a little more Instagram-worthy.

Next in line to be added to the FN 15 series is the FN-15 Tactical Carbine in the tactically adored Flat Dark Earth colour scheme. The FDE carbine boasts an enhanced Mil-Spec lower receiver paired with a match-grade free-floating, chrome-lined barrel. In keeping with the FN Tactical look and feel, the FDE version is outfitted with a 3-prong flash hider, B5 grip and 12.5in P-LOK rail with M-LOK mounting points.

In addition to the FN 15 carbine and pistol options, FN is also releasing a FDE and BLK series. The lineup will include the FN 509, FNS-9 Compact, FNX-45 and FNX-45 Tactical, FN Five-seveN, FN 15 Tactical Carbine II, FN M249S and FN M249S PARA in a mesh of FDE and black. Firearm frames will feature the popular tan colour while slides and accessories will ship in black.

These weapons will only be available in the US.
