Finally wrap up some other projects, got some $ together for a fuck all off the wall idea. Read the last 15 pages (I was still back in the June posts) and prices go way up.

On a related note my Monte Carlo lower shipped from MGW today. I was skeptical it would ship being since I live in NJ I half expected it to get cancelled. |

so USPS has my SCR lower arrived to my local FFL today ..
I'm beginning to look closely at sights and see the idea tossed around on prior pages of this thread ... - has anyone tried the Troy Industries Micro Sights m4 config. or HK style &/or compared the dimensions to the CZ sights guys are running? - is ebay the best source of CZ sights or may they be ordered direct from CZ...what's best? Thanks! |

You guys should join me in messaging FightLite to ask where the official first party rail mounted front sights are. 2 years ago I was told "next month" for almost a year, and now I've seen nothing. I asked the question in the industry forum, and they have posted in this very thread after I asked, to no response. I also sent a PM, no response.
The official SCR rear sights are awesome, so where is the rail mounted front? Eh Ares/Fightlite? |

They had a Monte Carlo Ares SCR with bolt catch, factory site set, etc, on consignment for $750! There was a guy looking at it, who didn't seem committed to buying it. Instead of keeping my mouth shut and buying it after shooting, I told him all the great things about it and that I would buy it on the way out, if he didn't. Needless to say, it was gone before I got out. Do I need a third? No. Did I want it? Oh yeah!! Especially with those sites. Oh well, I like to think that he is now an avid SCR fan, perhaps even a poster here ... |

I like the front sights just fine, it just forces you to basically keep the rifle bone stock. I've considered moving the gas block to another barrel but and then putting a free floated handguard on it but that's fairly major surgery for something that wouldn't give me all that much practical benefit, and it would sort of need to be a faux-dissipator if you wanted decent enough handguard real estate. The rifle is plenty lightweight as-is and I'm OK with it in its current configuration. I just feel that the clamp-on front sight is fragile or could get bumped out of alignment or something, but it does mount pretty solidly so that's probably very unlikely.
The sights work but it would be nice to have other options as well. If I ever decide to take the gun pig hunting I'll probably have to buy the CZ sights to throw on a 6.5 or 6.8 upper, but we'll see. |

Anybody had their trigger improved on the SCR?
Mine has the Gen 2 "lighter" trigger, but it's still pretty heavy (5.5ish lb depending on where/how you pull the trigger w/ the gauge) with a lot creep (smooth, but still creep). I tried a couple lighter hammer springs, and they help but only a tiny bit. It should be really easy to take out the creep by shaving down the hammer hook which is crazy long, and the weight could be taken down with some lighter coil springs in the trigger pack. I'm pretty confident I could accomplish both myself, but am not willing to roll the dice since I'm not sure how hard/expensive it might be to get replacement parts out of Ares if things don't go as planned LOL. |

well i picked up my SCR last night from the NY FFL (purchased from Midwest Gun Works) and i'm disappointed in the 'quality' of the forging.
Please take a look at the pics and help me understand if all SCRs are shipping with the forging undersized on the left side where it meets the stock?? If it's only mine, i will contact #FightLite for warranty as i feel like the price they command should return a first quality part.... thanks for any help you all can provide!

Actually, I just looked at mine again and it does have that weirdness. It doesn't bother me though as it's not going to affect the function of it. YMMV. If it really bothers you that much you could mark the stock, pull it off and then sand the high spot down so it matches the receiver. |

" feeling... @CarpNY .. you have 2 correct? are your forgings 'imperfect' like mine and the other 2 guys??  .)
Interesting piece of history: way back when, on their Facebook page, they mentioned that the first ones made were billet. The guy from Ares said that he would check the shop to see if they had any left and offered them to posters. I saw it later, so didn't get my hands on one. Would be interesting to compare them. Anyone have a really low serial number? My older one is in the AS-0010## range and my newer one is in the AS-0019## range. So, if they are shipping old Ares lowers, that means that they decided to change their name and saved the existing lowers to sell at the new higher price. Not that there's anything wrong with them wanting to make more profit, 'cause 'Merica!

Never noticed it before, but yes, both have it. However, it is symmetric (appears on left and right sides) and was clearly - for whatever reason - deliberately done. Perhaps, they changed stocks or even the stock manufacturer changed dimensions (I don't know enough about 1100's to know if they had subtle changes like that.) Either way, it hasn't bothered me before and won't bother me going forward (maybe, it's that I am just an engineer, not a fabricator .)
Interesting that the 'defect' appears on both sides of your lower and all other occurrences (thus far) of the defect appear only on the left side. My best guess, it's a post processing step (grind/polish) to resolve a larger identified open problem in the forging/production process pre anodizing, sadly it's not done with precision/care. To me this is characteristic of a pilot/ pre production open problem and i don't love the idea of paying full production price for pre production units. most all companies launch products with known problem sets/open problems. In my experience the companies that really care don't do it when it's easily detected in the UX ... literally right in front of the user's nose. Ironically in my experience good companies also return e-mails/phone calls to customers ... in the absence of comms. from fightlight we are left to hypothesize on forums... it's def. not a big deal functionally and clearly for many had gone un-noticed until i brought it to light here. If we hear from anyone that does not have the defect, I'll work harder to contact FightLite before i build this gun/use it. If everyone has the same/similar defect ... well we all settle for what's available until 'we' make it ourselves ;) |

Wish I would have taken advantage of my machine shop time to hone my skills back then. Would have served me better with my hobby. You may be right about grinding/polishing post. I didn't look at them side-by-side, but the shape on all four sides was basically the same. They may have intended to address it, but never had any complaints. Or, maybe, they did address it with the new FightLite forging (have to wait for someone to actually receive one to know.) If so, I'd be willing to take the Ares one off of your hands (basically, pay you what you paid for it; legally transferred, of course), so that you can then buy yourself a new FightLite one. I like having the originals. |

Had an interesting day at the range with my new 300 BLK side charger upper. When I built it 2 weeks ago I stripped the bolt that it came with l and installed the firing pin, bolt cam pin, and bolt from the AR-Stoner side charger into the SCR bolt carrier.
4 slam fires in 10 rounds.. wtf. Packed it up and brought it home. It was about 20 degrees out, not that that should matter. Trying to measure my firing pin protrusion with my digital micrometer it seems like it's in the .037 area. The thing about the rat tail behind the firing pin, when it's level and the bolt is locked - it forces firing pin protrusion. The bevels in the hinge of the rat tail actually push the firing pin in, so if it's out of spec too long like mine then you are gonna have a potential disaster. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?? |

As the rat tail articulates upward to the "bolt forward" position, the machining on the rat tails hinge presses the firing pin (every one I own, most of all the one that came with the AR-Stoner side charger upper) forward to where there is definite firing pin protrusion. I'm not talking about the free floating nature of the AR where the firing pin can kiss a primer due to inertia. The hinge or the rat tail is positively holding it forward. |

I'm not talking about the free floating nature of the AR where the firing pin can kiss a primer due to inertia. The hinge or the rat tail is positively holding it forward. Now, there is the possibility that pushing it forward as the rat tail articulates could, in essence, throw the pin toward the primer. However, it does not actually articulate very much during its cycle and most of the rotation about the pin is done with the carrier near the back of the receiver. Since this doesn't seem to be a common problem (personally, I use 5 round magazines and have put over 500 rounds through mine in the past few months alone without one slamfire) and you found your pin to be out of spec, I would say that the design is not a problem, in and of itself. That said, it is good to know that it may be particularly susceptible to slamfires with out of spec (too long front portion) pin. As noted, that can also increase the chance of a slam fire in an AR, too. However, with the SCR's design, a long enough pin would pretty much guarantee one, instead of just increasing the chance. Check your pins, boys! Side note: this is also a good reminder to be aiming downrange when releasing the bolt. I always have the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and am pretty good about having it on target when I hit the bolt release, but I can't say that I never do it with the muzzle slightly elevated. I will be even more diligent about it. @NorthPolar This guy has some pretty good disassembly photos.. In particular, this photo should help: 
As Andromax noted, the hinge pin for the rat tail is not in the same location as the retaining pin on an AR (it's lower and further back), so it does not prevent the firing pin from moving rearward. Instead, the tip of the rat tail also serves this function. |

I understand how both work. My point was that the firing pin on the AR doesn't travel that far, or really more to the point, the protrusion from the bolt face when firing is very small.
I'm often terrible at articulating my point so I was trying not to be misunderstood. That was my mansplaining in action. I will try to post picture later, going hunting this am..but I am finding the long pin to essentially be stuck in protrusion when the bolt rotates into battery. I can't say it's a design flaw if your pin is the correct length but it's definitely something people should be aware of. Never had a slam fire before and 4 in 10 rounds. |

Sorry I didn't mean to insinuate that you didn't know how they work.
I'm often terrible at articulating my point so I was trying not to be misunderstood. That was my mansplaining in action. I will try to post picture later, going hunting this am..but I am finding the long pin to essentially be stuck in protrusion when the bolt rotates into battery. I can't say it's a design flaw if your pin is the correct length but it's definitely something people should be aware of. Never had a slam fire before and 4 in 10 rounds. I definitely agree with both parts of that last line. With an in-spec FP, their solution works, but it is important to know that an out-of-spec FP will almost surely cause SFs (more so, it seems, than in an AR.) I've never experienced one in an SCR or AR, but any time a round fires when you haven't pulled the trigger has to be a scary experience. |

Ok guys, they're going fast wherever they end up because the demand for SCR rifles and lowers is huge! Since Midwest Gun Works is reportedly sold out already, (we haven't verified this ourselves, so suggest that you still give them a call) I can give you all a heads-up that RSR Group has a shipment going out to them tomorrow. Get on their list because they'll probably all move out the day they get them in next week. Thanks for your interest and patience; we're getting them out the door as fast as we can! |

The Camp-Site Sport Shop in Huntington Station, NY received a few lowers and complete rifle from RSR.
Complete rifles starting at $1019.00 now. There's the price jump.  I didn't notice how much the lowers were now.
