The FN SCAR 16S 14-Inch Barrel Assembly (brand part no. 98804) is a factory FN replacement or configuration-change barrel built in 5.56x45mm NATO for the SCAR platform. It’s cold hammer-forged from chrome-lined MIL-SPEC steel and comes complete with the front sight assembly, gas block assembly, gas regulator, gas piston, and flash hider already installed, so there’s no partial-parts hunting to get it running. FN builds this 14-inch length for shooters who want reduced weight and faster handling in confined spaces without going all the way down to a short-barrel configuration. Installation is straightforward with a Torx T25 and a 62 in-lb torque wrench, and the assembly is ready to shoot without headspacing. Because this is a barrel assembly sold without a SCAR lower receiver, it is not itself a regulated firearm; however, installing a barrel under 16 inches on a rifle-configured (shouldered) SCAR lower without proper NFA registration would create an unregistered short-barreled rifle, so confirm your platform’s configuration and any required paperwork before swapping barrels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this barrel assembly include a lower receiver? No, this is a barrel assembly only; it does not include a SCAR lower receiver or complete rifle.

Is a 14-inch barrel legal on a SCAR rifle? A rifle-configured lower needs a barrel of at least 16 inches to avoid NFA short-barreled rifle rules; verify your platform’s configuration before installing a 14-inch barrel on a shouldered rifle.

Does this barrel require headspacing after installation? No, it’s a factory-fit assembly that’s ready to shoot as soon as it’s torqued into place.
