FN America recently announced four new configurations of their new FN 15 TAC3 line of carbines, available for commercial and law enforcement.
Here’s how FN describes it
The FN 15 TAC3 Duty carbine [is] a lightweight, ergonomic AR-style rifle that delivers dependable accuracy each and every time from its 16-in cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined barrel made from FN’s proprietary CMV steel. The barrel, proof-tested and MPI-marked is shielded by a 15-inch aluminum handguard that is lightweight and gives you full reach, making this rifle easy to maneuver around barriers and difficult courses of fire.
The continuous Picatinny top rail of the handguard allows for an infinite selection of optics, 5 built-in QD points to run your sling as you choose and multiple M-LOK slots for other accessories. The MIL-SPEC lower receiver with ambidextrous charging handle and selector, M16-style bolt carrier group and HPT/MPI bolt deliver enhanced reliability and aids in recoil absorption, helping you stay on target.
With FN’s custom furniture, including a 6-postion stock with QD attachment points, and mid-length gas with H buffer make the FN 15 TAC3 Duty an extremely soft-shooting rifle that easily adapts to the user.

With all new configurations, finishes and features, the FN 15 TAC3 carbine gives you everything you need in an AR-style rifle from top to bottom, made to FN’s exacting standards.
Built from a MIL-SPEC foundation with HP/MPI-tested and certified bolt and M16-style bolt carrier group with mid-length gas system and H buffer, the TAC3 performs reliably. Superior accuracy and performance come from the company’s signature chrome-lined, cold hammer-forged barrel made from FN proprietary steel, fully free-floated within a Hodge Defense-designed wedge lock handguard.
The rigid handguard, affixed with a proprietary barrel nut and anti-rotation technology, provides continues 12 o’clock rail space and multiple M-LOK attachment points for lights, lasers and other accessories while minimizing deflection during hard use.
Outfitted with ambidextrous charging handle and selector, and FN’s custom 6-position buttstock, pistol grip and magazine, the FN 15 TAC3 is a streamlined, rugged carbine ready for any situation.
