About This Firearm
The FN 15 SRP G2 is a mid-length semi-automatic AR-15 in 5.56 NATO built for police patrol work, and FN lists it for commercial, law enforcement and military buyers alike. Its bore and chamber are hard chrome plated with the same plating FN uses inside M240 and M249 belt-fed machine gun barrels.
Every carbine is fired on FN's production range for function, targeting and accuracy, with headspace verified, before it ships. The stock is a mil-spec six-position type. No sights come with the commercial rifle, because the build that arrives with folding sights fitted is a law enforcement item. The trigger is a single-stage group FN gives as 6.3 lbs within a 4.75 to 7.75 lb range, so the pull on any one rifle is worth gauging. The muzzle carries an A2 compensator on a thread with no pitch marked, so a suppressor mount means measuring it.
If you're cross-shopping, an FN 15 Guardian has an MSRP of $999, carries 0.35 lbs more and states a 1/2x28 muzzle thread. An FN 15 TAC3 has an MSRP of $1,889, carries 0.75 lbs more and fits Radian ambidextrous controls on a cold hammer forged barrel. The SRP G2 undercuts both on weight, and its barrel is button rifled where the TAC3's is hammer forged.

Strengths & Limitations
- Barrels and bolts follow mil-spec proof and non-destructive testing procedures during production.
- The receiver is a hard-anodized aluminum flat-top with a MIL-STD-1913 rail machined along the top.
- FN offers the SRP G2 in several barrel lengths, so the 16-inch carbine is one point in a family.
- FN's own documents call the trigger both an FN Combat Trigger and a mil-spec style trigger, so treat it as a standard single-stage group.
- The commercial rifle comes with no sights and no case, so an optic and a mount come on top of it.
- Nothing on it is ambidextrous, so a left-handed shooter buys a selector and a charging handle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does SRP mean?

What magazines does it take?
Any standard AR-15 magazine, in the 30-round size FN lists for the carbine.
How does it differ from the FN 15 Guardian?
