Be range-ready with the FN 15 TAC3 Duty carbine, 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.v

Introduced in 1964, the 223 Remington is the civilian version of the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge. Although very similar to the 222 Remington it has a slightly longer case and a shorter neck, giving it greater powder capacity and thus higher velocity--which was necessary to meet military penetration requirements at longer range. NOTE: 223 Remington ammunition may be safely fired in any 5.56x45mm chamber, but 5.56x45mm ammunition SHOULD NOT BE USED in a 223 chamber! Standard is a 55-grain bullet at 3240 feet per second, with lighter bullets somewhat faster and heavier bullets a bit slower. The 223 is the most popular 22 centerfire today, and possiby the most popular centerfire cartridge. Ammunition choices are legion, as are choices in firearms. The 223 is an accurate cartridge ideally suited for varmint hunting out to beyond 300 yards, and with heavy-bullet loads designed for the purpose is used effectively by many deer hunters. — Craig Boddington
