This video provides a comprehensive review of the FN 17S, a civilian variant of the combat-proven FN SCAR Mk 17. The reviewer highlights its advantage as a lightweight .308 battle rifle, discussing its purpose-built design for warfare. The review delves into its POU (Purpose Of Use), reliability, construction quality, ergonomics, and accessory options. Despite impressive accuracy with match ammunition, the reviewer notes the significant drawback of its high price tag ($2600), acknowledging that other excellent .308 options exist. The video concludes with a strong recommendation for those who can overlook the cost.

This YouTube video covers a wide range of firearms, gear, and related topics based on viewer comments and questions.

This video showcases the FN 17S rifle during an event called "OPERATION RED SKIES: Ridge Run". Despite minor feeding issues with specific ammunition, the rifle demonstrates excellent accuracy at 560 yards. The course of fire is challenging, especially with wind, and highlights the importance of communication between spotter and shooter. The Stoney Point shooting sticks are praised for their stability on difficult terrain. The event tests SAPRs and promises a night run as well, with the shooter scoring 29 points.

This Nutnfancy Project video, "OPERATION RED SKIES: Inbrief," details a multi-day, self-contained expedition in high desert environments. The adventure involves rigorous hiking and engaging targets up to 600 yards with SAPRs. The video highlights a variety of firearms, including the FN 17S, Springfield Armory M1A, DPMS LR-308 Classic Custom, AP4 parts gun, Savage 10 FP, Glock 17, Glock 22, and FN Five-Seven. The expedition emphasizes testing the limits of firearms, gear, and the individual, with a significant amount of 7.62x51mm ammunition being used. PFIDude and Matt from Troy Industries are featured as adventure companions.

This Nutnfancy review of the DPMS LR-308 highlights its value as a .308 Semi Auto Precision Rifle (SAPR) or Battle Rifle. Despite some reported reliability issues with the platform in general, the reviewed TAC-20 and Classic Custom models performed accurately and reliably, even in cold weather. The video discusses various configurations, the weight and ergos compared to AR-15s, and compares it to higher-end .308 rifles. The review emphasizes its affordability and performance for its price point, making it a strong contender for those needing longer-range capability.

This video features a debrief of the Kel-Tec RFB rifle, with the reviewer providing mostly positive feedback in the final part of a "No Fear" series. While the RFB performs well, it doesn't quite match the performance of the FN 17S in their point system. The video also includes observations after shooting, a segment involving a "Sledge" chasing darkness with "big laughs," and an update on the PMR-30 after lubrication, hoping for 100% reliability. The content concludes with humorous commentary on PFI's Barbie collection and a concluding remark about the outcome of the testing, suggesting it "kinda' worked out."

This video, part 2 of Nutnfancy's "Have No Fear" series, pits the Kel-Tec RFB against .308 battle rifles in the TNP Sledgehammer Drill. Despite some unexpected malfunctions with various firearms including a loose optics mount, a pistol flying, PMR-30s jamming, and an FN 17S experiencing a failure to feed, the RFB performs well with limited lubrication, achieving a score of 32 points. The FN 17S holds the course record with 54 points. The video highlights the drill's ability to reveal real-world firearm performance data in a fun, albeit high-wind, environment with cameraderie among the participants.

This video features a "Sledgehammer Drill" comparison of .308 battle rifles, pitting the Kel-Tec RFB against the FN 17S (SCAR Heavy) and Springfield M1A SOCOM II. It also includes a .22 WMR pistol comparison between the Kel-Tec PMR-30 and FN Five-Seven 5.7x28mm. The test focuses on practical shooting under timed conditions with challenging weather. The video highlights the innovative designs of Kel-Tec firearms and the testing methodology of "The Nutnfancy Project" (TNP). It also touches upon optics choices and the collaborative effort between TNP and Kel-Tec, with a promise of more content including a tactical shotgun drill.
