Note: This barrel was removed by Armory of Kings from a brand new SCAR 16S. Minor cosmetic marks may be present from disassembly. Barrel is otherwise brand new and unfired outside of FN's QA testing. The factory-installed muzzle device is often torqued on with significant force—we strongly recommend that a professional gunsmith perform any removal or modification.
