Hey there. New to the forums. Read thru most of the thread, but didn't find any answers to q's I had regarding stocks. Hoping you all can help. Working on an SCR build and as you all know, now only offered with the sporter synth stock. Likely going to swap for a Rem wood stock once I find one that I like, but curious about the Rem Monte Carlo synth stocks. Anyone know if these are direct replacement or if it can me modded to work? Thanks Although I haven't tried it for myself, it is my understanding that Remington 1100 stocks can be modded to work. There are a few examples in this thread. Keeping that in mind, I bought a Speedfeed Monte Carlo Set off of CDNN for $39.99. They are showing 6 on hand, these are a rugged black synthetic. |

Yeah..I've seen the mods required for the Remington 1100 wood stocks, but was curious if anyone knew if the same mods were needed for the synthetic versions. Pretty sure the synthetic stock isn't a solid piece, so drilling out like a wood stock may not work. Have you received the Speedfeed stock yet? Any chance you can post pics of the internals if you don't mind? |

Apart from throwing a canvas M1 sling on her, she's finally done! As I've mentioned in previous posts, the buttstock is a Remington 1100 modified to fit. The wood handguard is 100% handmade from a solid chunk of walnut.
I was going after a WWII era look and I think it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself 
The only thing that looks a bit goofy proportionally is the length of the stock. I added spacers for a longer length of pull. |

Thanks guys!
The sights I have on it are the first gen CZ Scorpion EVO sights. They're made by LPA Italy. They recently changed up the sights but the EVO 3 A1 (LEO & Military version) still has the sights I have. They're tough to get ahold of but I found mine used on ARMSLIST... I got lucky. If you don't mind the way the new CZ sights look, those are your best bet and are readily available. |

Would like to know as well. That looks great!
I’ve contemplated wrapping a sheet of veneer around a tube of the same diameter as the free float tube and then trimming it out for the top rail later. The veneer could be wrapped two times and glued around itself to hold its shape. I tried cutting one out of a chunk of walnut on a router table and table saw and I couldn’t get it as thin as I wanted it before it started splitting. |

Can I ask how you secured the wood handguard to the inner handguard? Im very interested in the construction of the wood handguard... do you have any pics of that alone?

Originally, I was banking on the friction holding the handguard in place but no luck. To prevent it from walking forward under recoil I decided to add the sling swivel stud. I oversized the hole and filled in the gap with epoxy to help buffer the recoil. Time will tell if it holds up without cracking. Apologies for the essay, here are some pictures:

I retained the checkered butt plate from the original ARES stock. The rifle looks much better without the spacers though, I totally agree.

How did you bore the 14" hole ? Lathe or drill press? Looks like the tunnel/cover rail on the hg is held on by 6 screws... is that right? Also something to note, you MUST use a carbine length gas system and the proprietary gas block and tube that comes with the kit. A view of the underside of the rail, gas block, and handguard. Note the relief in the rail to fit the gas block and the smaller holes in the handguard in order to tighten the gas block screws: 
Since you asked... Haha I used a drill press and turned the vise and table 90 degrees. Even with the extension and a spade but, I had to attack it from both sides. If anyone is a woodworker on here, I apologize in advance because nothing I did is S.O.P. 
I also used it as a poor man's lathe to get the outside diameter as round as possible. Note the PVC, socket, and hose clamp used at the top, only the best in my garage lol.

I put a KS47 upper on mine, the bolt fit in the SCR carrier, and seemed to dri-fire fine. But the ASC 7.62 x 39 mag would not seat in the lower, the top of the mag was hitting the over-insertion tab before it could lock in.

Do the pistol lowers work the same as the rifle lowers? Same internals and stock mods, etc? They're a lot cheaper and I'd be throwing the stock away anyhow. Also, if you're just buying the lower, I'm pretty sure both the rifle and pistol are classified as "other" on the 4473. Ensure they don't write it down as a "long gun" or "handgun ". Otherwise you'll be making a nifty NFA item putting a stock on the pistol lower. |

I really do want to do one of these, but 600 bucks for a lower is just too much. 400 I'd be all in but 600 seems really stiff direct from them.
Saw theyre out of stock everywhere else so, if the pistol lower won't work, perhaps I'll wait till one comes along. |

Anyone know whats up with Fightlite and SCR production? Their website hasnt listed the full SCR rifle at all in a while and the SCR lower is available but says "This product is available online only until supply lasts."
I called them a few weeks ago and they said the SCR is just out of stock, not discontinued... wondering if anyone else has more info. I just applied for my NYC long gun permit (yea we need a permit for rifles) a week ago after finally getting my handgun permit (only took 6 months...) and I definitely want a SCR. I probably also have to get the full rifle instead of just a lower in order to get it properly registered. I still see the rifles on gunbroker and various websites so I'm alright for now, just worried that they'll be completely gone by the time my long gun permit is approved. Dream would be to get the SCR, replace upper with the ARAK-21 and replace stock with a Magpul 870 stock. |
