FN America FN15 TAC3 5.56 NATO Rifle 16″ CHF Chrome Lined Barrel – 30 Rd
Engineered on a proven MIL-SPEC foundation, the FN 15 TAC3 delivers duty-grade durability, enhanced ergonomics, and consistent accuracy in a rugged, modern AR-platform rifle. Built by FN America, this semi-automatic 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington carbine is designed for shooters who demand dependable performance in training, defensive, and professional applications.
At its core is a 16-inch chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged barrel made from FN’s proprietary steel, optimized with a 1:7 twist rate for stabilizing a wide range of modern ammunition. Paired with a mid-length gas system, pinned gas block, and H-buffer system, the TAC3 delivers smooth recoil impulse, reduced wear, and highly reliable cycling under demanding conditions.
The free-floated barrel sits within a rigid Hodge Defense-designed wedge-lock M-LOK handguard, providing superior stability, minimized deflection, and full-length accessory mounting capability. This system ensures consistent accuracy while allowing seamless integration of lights, lasers, and mission-critical attachments.
Ambidextrous controls, including a fully ambidextrous Radian Raptor-LT charging handle, make the TAC3 equally effective for left- and right-handed shooters. Combined with FN’s collapsible 6-position stock and ergonomic polymer grip, the platform offers modern comfort, adaptability, and control.
