But two days before is the ENFORCE TAC 2019 a more security-focused trade fair and we see more activity of the firearms industry as they present their products to potential defense and security buyers.
At this event, FN Herstal will put on display for the first time the .300 BLK version of their SCAR-SC, the subcompact carbine that is the smallest member of the FN SCAR family. The FN SCAR-SC was first unveiled at the Milipol France in 2017 and it was initially chambered in the 5.56x45mm. FN Herstal also mentioned that the .300 BLK was also in the works.
The FN SCAR-SC .300 version has a KeyMod receiver as compared to the 5.56mm which just has the usually Picatinny rails. It still sports the adjustable buttstock and is marketed towards law enforcement organizations.
