FN 15 TAC3 Duty carbine in 5.56 NATO with 16" chrome-lined barrel, 15" M-LOK handguard, ambidextrous controls, and 6-position stock. Lightweight and optics-ready.
The FN 15 TAC3 Duty represents a thoughtful approach to the modern carbine. It combines proven design principles with practical features that matter in the field, whether you're training at the range or working through tactical courses.
The heart of this rifle is its 16" cold hammer-forged barrel, constructed from FN's proprietary CMV steel. The barrel is chrome-lined for extended service life and corrosion resistance, then proof-tested and MPI-marked to ensure it meets rigorous standards. This is the kind of barrel work that separates quality rifles from the rest.
The MIL-SPEC lower receiver houses an M16-style bolt carrier group with an HPT/MPI-marked bolt—components that deliver the reliability you depend on when it matters. The ambidextrous charging handle and selector switch mean you can operate this rifle from either shoulder without fumbling.
The 15" aluminum M-LOK handguard is lightweight and provides full reach for confident maneuvering around barriers and through dynamic shooting positions. A continuous Picatinny rail along the top accepts any optic you choose, while five quick-detach sling attachment points and multiple M-LOK slots give you genuine flexibility for accessories.
FN's custom furniture includes a 6-position collapsible stock with quick-detach points, allowing you to tailor the rifle's length of pull to your frame. The mid-length gas system paired with an H buffer creates a soft-shooting platform that minimizes recoil and helps you stay on target through rapid strings of fire.
This is a carbine built for shooters who understand that reliability, ergonomics, and thoughtful design matter more than marketing hype.
