Kinetic Development Group Reaffirms Commitment to Legacy FN SCAR Platform Accessories

In light of the recent announcement by FN America declaring the end of production for its civilian-market FN SCAR platform (including the 16S, 17S, and 20S models), Kinetic Development Group (KDG) is reaffirming its unwavering commitment to support the FN SCAR community by continuing full production of high-quality aftermarket accessories for all legacy FN SCAR rifles currently in the market.

FN America has confirmed that production of the commercial FN SCAR series has concluded in the United States, signaling the end of an era for one of the most recognized modern rifle platforms. While factory support for parts and service will remain available for a limited time, KDG is ensuring that FN SCAR owners will continue to have long-term access to the premium aftermarket components they rely on.

KDG’s Message to the Market

At KDG, we understand the importance of this moment in the firearms industry—and the impact it carries for thousands of FN SCAR owners, builders, and enthusiasts. Our message is clear: Kinetic Development Group will continue manufacturing and supplying our full line of legacy FN SCAR accessories for every rifle currently in circulation.

“Our entire company was built on a passion for innovation and performance, and the FN SCAR platform has been at the center of that story,” said Chris Bardugone, Director of Sales & Marketing for Kinetic Development Group. “Even as FN America closes this chapter, KDG will ensure that every FN SCAR owner has access to the same quality, precision, and forward-thinking design that defined this platform. The FN SCAR community isn’t fading—it’s evolving, and we’ll be there every step of the way.”

KDG’s mission is to guarantee that every FN SCAR 15P, 16S, 17S, and 20S owner can continue to enjoy, maintain, and enhance their firearm with industry-leading aftermarket solutions built in the USA.

Why This Matters

With FN America’s announcement, the FN SCAR platform transitions from a production staple to a legacy system—one that remains a benchmark in modular rifle design. As factory production winds down, concerns naturally arise over parts availability and long-term support.

KDG’s response is simple: we’re not going anywhere. Our mission is to ensure FN SCAR owners retain access to the most trusted, U.S.-made aftermarket solutions in the industry—preserving this iconic rifle’s performance and upgrade potential for years to come.

KDG will continue to support the platform through consistent production, innovation, and responsive customer service. The company will also monitor any future developments from FN America and adapt its product line as the platform evolves.
