This is what you seek.

Just put an SCR in jail for 10 days. Cant wait to get my hands on it!

Who has the best prices on the bolt catch? Also go I just need a bolt for the bcg or do I need the cam pin, firing pin and firing pin retaining pin?

I bought the bolt catch from this seller on EBay. Despite actually owning an SCR yet.

That's who I was looking at to purchase the bolt from. I just didn't know if I needed all the other stuff too.

What ring heights would be recommended for mounting a Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20mm on an SCR?  Not sure if I'll go with a sporter or monte carlo stock yet, so recommendations for both comb heights would be appreciated or feedback from your experience.

I would say Medium for Sporter, but people are different, so it might not be right for you.

My latest project.  Definitely no pistol grip here.

Took boring out the recoil tube hole and a little bit of hand-fitting at the point of connection, but was basically drop-in.  Going to cut the stock down a little and add a thin grind-to-fit LimbSaver pad.  Already shoulders really well.

Ebay.  It was a factory second for the Remington 1100 shotgun.  English (straight) stocks aren't common, but they are out there.  The original end cap had some bubbling, but I am going to take an inch or so off of it, anyway, and then add a thin LimbSaver pad.

Been planning this build for a while and finally found the right one (at a price that didn't kill me.)  The upper will change, but it's what I have built now.

In general, are there many other forends like this that are a combo of modern metal/rail/slots and a wooden grip? The plain full wooden Boyd's-type hand guards I don't find exciting, but I like this 1960s-ish combo of metal and wood.

I dig this kind of furniture a lot more than the wooden AR bits that try too hard to get away from the modern EBR aesthetic. I think these combos of a few wooden pieces with a perforated barrel has some of the panache you get with a vintage riot gun with a metal heat shield, or the Cetme handguard, etc.

Be prepared to do a little wood working.  The SCR has a built up area where the recoil spring tube attaches to the receiver, you'll have to whittle out the end of the stock to get it to fit correctly.  I also needed an extended 5/8" spade bit to remove a tight spot in the center of the stock.

If I remember correctly, the original opening in my 1100 straight stock was 11/16", while the recoil tube attachment was 13/16".  I happened to have a Dremel grinding stone bit that was the exact diameter I needed.  It's not even 1/2" deep, so it doesn't take much.  The rest of the recoil system fit, but I had to open it up just a hair at the back end to actually get my 19mm socket in to tighten it.

Any folks have lessons-learned about mounting optics low enough to use with the non-Monte Carlo sporter stocks? Can you get decent cheekweld on the standard stock by using really low rings and a scope with a slim bell?

Just got me wondering since so many AR optics and mounts are designed to be raised up high to counter the inline stock.

AR height mounts, iron sights, and rings won't work

Just have to mount everything low like a traditional rifle.

I think that's a given, since the poster is asking about the difference between the standard and Monte Carlo stock.  The Monte Carlo stock looks like it's a good match for low rings (or as low as the optics' bell allows.)

I went back and forth when buying my lower assembly. I am very glad I went with the MC stock. Please seethe attached picture if my rifle. With that scope I am running the lowest possible rings and my check weld could be a bit higher for me. It works, but I could not even imagine using the sporter stock.

I ordered the Larue ultra low rings at first for my Vortex Razor Gen II and they were too low.  I then ordered the "regular" style Larue 30mm scope mount in the low position(probably the ones designed for the HK guns) and it has been the perfect height.  I am running an SCR with the "short" stock configuration.

ETA:  The irons I really like are the CZ ones.  I tried the Troy HK style ones and they seemed a tad high for me.

I was up at Gander Mountain in Middletown, NY yesterday looking at shotguns and they had several SCRs behind the counter. I was so tempted to just buy one while I was there. Sadly, I didn't buy either an SCR nor a shotgun.

Wishing for a 308 platform SCR (ARES, are you listening?).  I think a 338 Federal in one of these would be the ticket.  I do a lot of deer drives with guys that are running BARS and auto Remington that have had issues with reliability.  That's what's great about AR's vs others.  They seem to keep running if you neglect maintenance.

I put together a Rem 7400 carbine in 30.06 with an Eotech for my dad for deer drives, he's a bit of a fudd, but he loves that gun.
A little filing on the factory mags and a good chamber polish and it runs just fine.
The only 10rd mag I was able to make work reliably was from Triple-K.

Unless someone really likes the style of the Mini-14, the SCR seems better basically across the board.

One of the few ways I could see the Mini-14 getting an edge over the SCR is if any states (like NY or CA) start banning detachable mags entirely, even without pistol grip. That would leave people with top-load capable rifles (or gimmicks like the FAB-10) so the Mini-14 could easily work with a fixed mag and an added stripper-guide for the bolt. That'd wash the SCR out of whatever state, but would be a huge window of opportunity for the M14, M1, Mini-14, VZ58, SKS, and other top-loadable semi-auto rifles.

Doesn't Boyds make a mid-length handguard?  Pick one up with a matching Rem 1100(?) stock, and you should be good to go.


Except that ARES factory woody has walnut furniture (from Boyds).  On Boyds' webpage, however, while you can order a walnut 1100 stock, you cannot purchase a walnut AR-15 handguard.  So, you can have your mid-length handguard, but you'll have to go with laminate furniture.  The nutmeg and pepper laminates look nice, but it's not quite the same as walnut (though, the pepper is a unique look of its own.)

The Knights Armament Ambi Mag release really improved the controls for me.
