FN Provides Gearbox Giveaway in Support of National Shooting Sports Month
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF[1]®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that FN has donated a spectacular Gearbox Giveaway as part of the National Shooting Sports Month® celebration.
Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, FN [2] is a manufacturer of handguns, rifles and shotguns. Personal protection aficionados, recreational target shooters and overall firearms enthusiasts utilize FN’s many fine products, and the company manufactures a number of firearms for law enforcement duty use. The company also currently produces several firearms under contract with the U.S. military.
The FN America Gearbox Giveaway, worth more than $5,500, includes:
- One FN SCAR 20S rifle — This rifle represents the latest in battle-proven technology based on FN America’s 7.62-caliber MK 17 and MK 20 SSR. Calibrated for long-range precision fire, the SCAR 20S gives the user the ability to engage targets nearing 800 yards with ease. The gas-operated piston design absorbs recoil efficiently to improve follow-up shots and maintain target acquisition. Lending further aid is the match-grade, two-stage trigger that breaks crisply at 3.5-4.5 pounds, a full-length MIL-STD 1913 rail, and a buttstock with an adjustable length of pull and cheek rest height.
- One FN 509 Tactical handgun — This pistol is an extension of the FN 509 family and features the company’s patented Low-Profile Optics Mounting System, which enables the platform to accept more than 10 commercially available miniature red dot (MRD) optics that co-witness with the suppressor-height night sights and remain adaptable to future optics releases without direct milling of the slide.
