The FNAR semi-automatic rifle was first introduced to the shooting public in 2008. It is a product of the US-based subsidiary of famous Belgian company FN Herstal, the FN Manufacturing Co. The FNAR rifle is based on the proven and quite popular FN / Browning BAR hunting rifle (which is unrelated to the original Browning BAR M1918 rifle of World War II fame).[1]

The FN FNAR is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. The short-stroke gas piston is located below the (internally chromed)[2] barrel, within the stock. Barrel is locked using a rotary bolt with multiple lugs. The receiver is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 T6 aluminum alloy. The polymer stock has an adjustable buttstock and pistol grip. Feed is from a detachable box magazine, with a standard capacity of 20 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition. 5 and 10 round magazines are available if required by the whims of legislators. There are no open / iron sights installed by default; each FNAR rifle is fitted with a Picatinny rail on the top of the receiver, and three more short rails are installed at the front of the rifle stock.[1]
The FNAR uses a two-stage non-adjustable trigger specified at between 3.25 and 5.5 pounds.[1]
The standard FN FNAR has a light fluted barrel. The heavy barreled FN FNAR-H variant weighs about a pound more. Both are out-of-the-box guaranteed to be capable of Minute of Angle accuracy.[3]
