The FN FN15 Guardian Rifle combines unyielding performance with the renowned FN legacy of premium firearm craftsmanship. This highly reliable carbine boasts a 16-inch nitrided CMV steel MIL-B-11595 barrel and a 15-inch free-float aluminum handguard, which were meticulously engineered to deliver outstanding tack-driving accuracy. The use of a mid-length gas system reduces recoil and facilitates seamless operation, ensuring that whether you're engaged in sports shooting or home defense, the FN15 Guardian is always your reliable companion.
Affordability and premium quality typically don’t go hand in hand, but the FN FN15 Guardian breaks this stereotype. With an impressive feature set that doesn't break the bank, the Guardian is a perfect choice for sport shooters and home defenders who value reliability, comfort, and adaptability. As a leader in barrel manufacturing, FN brings you an affordable carbine that reflects our dedication to producing the best firearms in the industry.
At Charlie's Custom Clones, you know that we are big FN fans, so we take this rifle very seriously. Made in America, FN has achieved a nice balance of form, function and price. The lines that connect the upper receiver to the forward rail have that look of much more expensive rifles, like Noveske, where the upper receiver lines open up on the sides to meet a larger format forward rail, and then the rail slims down to a very aggressive thin format, which helps achieve a lightweight firearm. FN does this, while maintaining their traditional military grade lower receiver. Often times, the mating of billet uppers and forged lowers does not result in good aesthetics, but the FN Guardian looks great, works great, and feels good on the budget.
Weighing just 6.6 lbs, the FN FN15 Guardian Rifle is designed for comfortable handling without sacrificing control. Its pistol grip and magazines feature in-mold stippled for superior grip, with a 6-position stock offering tight lock up for an ideal cheek weld. The 24-slot M-LOK® free-float aluminum handguard ensures ample mounting space for all your accessory needs. Furthermore, the carbine's slick-sided upper receiver design not only eliminates forward assist but also offers a streamlined look and reduces snag points for enhanced user comfort.
Constructed from robust materials including 4150 chrome-moly vanadium steel and 7075-aluminum forging, the FN FN15 Guardian Rifle ensures impressive durability for sustained usage. The upper and lower receivers are hard coat anodized to offer resistance to corrosion, while the bolt carrier group is machined from 9310 alloy steel, further augmenting the carbine's strength. Equipped with a single-stage MIL-SPEC trigger and a custom 30-round magazine, the FN15 Guardian is ready to deliver excellent performance right out of the box.
One of the FN FN15 Guardian Rifle's shining attributes is its high adaptability. The free-floating handguard provides 24 M-LOK slots that allow for customization according to your specific needs. Be it sights, lights, or other accessories, the Guardian can be customized to your heart's content. The anti-rotation pinch-lock design ensures that your modifications stay securely in place, ready to aid you in whatever situation you find yourself.
Safety is a top priority for any firearm owner, and the FN FN15 Guardian Rifle doesn't compromise. The carbine's upper receiver houses a MIL-SPEC charging handle and safety selector lever, providing ease of operation and enhanced safety. An A2-style flash hider reduces visible flash during fire, adding an extra layer of safety when in use. With FN, you can rest assured that you're in safe hands.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
