Can a civvy purchase this firearm cause it's always been a dream gun of mine

Tan is out of stock and that just so happens to be a qualified professional listing but there is also one in black if you're interested. Nothing prevents civilian ownership of a SCAR 16S as it is not its machine gun cousin the SCAR 16. That is unless you have state laws that are more prohibitive. Here's one in black: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/60876/fn+scar+semi-automatic+223+remington%2f556+nato+30%2b1+capacity

If you dont meet the qualifications to become a qualified professional ( you can qualify by joining a volunteer fire department and many other ways) https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php you can get one in Black and have it cerakoted to any color you want https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/60876/fn+scar+semi-automatic+223+remington%2f556+nato+30%2b1+capacity

Virgle, this is the information on becoming a qualified Professional (if you are one) here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php

Virgle, You must be a "Qualified Professional" here are requirements:----------Who qualifies for the Qualified Professional Discount? Many major manufacturers offer discounts to a large list of individuals they consider Qualified Professionals. Although commonly referred to as Law Enforcement, LE or Veterans Discounts, these discounts are actually also available to many other types of Qualified Professionals, including : Active, Honorably Discharged or Retired Military personnel - all branches (veterans, including medical discharges/disabled) National Guard personnel - all branches Military Reserve personnel - all branches CAP - Civil Air Patrol Fire Fighters - including volunteers Paramedics and EMTs TSA Employees Commercial Pilots Federal Flight Deck Officers Air Marshals Court Judges District and Deputy District Attorneys All sworn or retired Law Enforcement Officers - city, county, state, and federal All Corrections and Probation Officers State Licensed Security Companies State, Federal, and Private Security Guards DOD Contractors

What makes this for qualified professionals only as there is no difference in price between this one and the other SCAR 16?

Manufacturers will often ear mark a batch of firearms to be designated as "Qualified Professionals" only and include extra accessories. Most all QP pistols and rifles come with additional magazines compared to commercial packages.

Probably a small gift of added coupons or small gear of sorts. Maybe an extra magazine. Its never a lot but always something.

What is different from this one that makes it qualified professionals only? Also if I'm in the national Guard can I purchase this?

No actual functional difference Curtis. Yes you can register to purchase since you are in the National Guard. Info here : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/qualified_professional_discounts.php
