FN America has discontinued the commercial SCAR 16S and 17S lines in the US. Originally developed for SOCOM to replace the M4A1, the SCAR program faced numerous mechanical issues during trials and early deployment, including parts breakages and feeding problems.

Owners are advised to stockpile spare parts due to the discontinuation.
