McLean, VA – FN America, LLC is proud to announce the launch of seven new products under the FNH USA brand for 2015, including compact variants of its popular FNS™ striker-fired pistol and additions to its FN 15™ modern sporting rifle line.
“We are pleased to continue to introduce new products for 2015,” said Mark Cherpes, FN America President and CEO. “These additions round out our already-robust commercial product lines and showcase our ability to quickly bring to market new variants that are in such demand by our customers.”
The FNS™-9 Compact and FNS™-40 Compact offer the same features as the standard models but have 3.6″ barrels and were designed to be snag-free for better concealment and a faster draw. The front sight also has a larger dot for faster target acquisition. The FNS-9™ Compact comes with two 12-round and one 17-round magazine. The FNS™-40 Compact comes with two 10-round and one 14-round magazine. Both come in hard locking cases. MSRP is $599.
A total of five new variants of the FN 15™ line of modern sporting rifles are also available, including the industry’s first AR’s to feature the revolutionary Magpul M-LOK™ accessory mounting system.
“Magpul is pleased with the relationship that has been built with FN America, LLC over the past year,” added Drake Clark, Sr. Director for Sales and Business Development for Magpul Industries. “There’s a great value to the customer when two brands such as ours partner on products like the FN 15™ Tactical Carbine, FN 15 DMR™ and FN 15™ MOE SLG. The addition of a M-LOK™ compatible fore-end on these models shows FN America has their finger on the pulse of the consumer.”
The FN 15™ Tactical Carbine offers the same features as the standard model but has a free floating, chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged barrel for increased life and easier cleaning. It also comes with enhancements such as a 3-prong muzzle brake to reduce flash, a mid-length gas system and H1 buffer to decrease recoil, a Magpul grip, buttstock and M-LOK™ accessory mounting system, and an ALG Defense combat trigger for smoother pull, a cleaner break and less grit. MSRP is $1,479.
The FN 15™ DMR includes many of the same features as the FN 15™ Sporting but was designed for more tactical applications. The FN 15™ DMR features an 18″ match-grade, cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:7 twist to enhance stability and accuracy for heavier grain precision shooting ammunition. It also comes with pre-installed Magpul MBUS Pro backup iron sights, a Magpul M-LOK™ accessory mounting system, and a 1913 rail for mounting optics, night vision or thermal devices. MSRP is $1,899.
The FN 15™ MOE SLG is the result of partnering with Magpul to equip the FN 15™ Carbine platforms with the latest and most desired Magpul AR accessories. The new MOE SLG, the first AR-15 to feature the Magpul MOE® SL™ accessories, will come standard with features like a 5.56 mm chambered, 16″ chrome-lined, alloy steel, button-broached barrel as well as the new Magpul MOE® SL™ trigger guard, forearm, hand guard, stock and rear sight assembly. MSRP is $1,169.
The FN 15™ Sporting was designed for competition – chambered in .223 Remington, it features an 18″ match-grade, cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel, a SureFire ProComp 556 muzzle brake to reduce recoil, a Timney competition trigger for a crisp break with a short reset, a Magpul grip and buttstock, and a 15″ Samson Evolution accessory rail. MSRP is $1,749.
Finally, the FN 15™ Patrol Carbine, the latest addition to FNH USA’s tactical law enforcement line, offers the same features as the standard FN 15™ Carbine model but has a 14.5″ alloy steel, button broached, chrome-lined barrel, Samson flip-up rear sight for compact and reliable back-up sighting and a Midwest Industries drop-in 7″ quad rail/forearm for increased adaptability and front gripping options.
