If you can find a local store that orders from RSR, they have a few pistol lowers in stock. They haven't had rifle lowers in forever. That's what I did

So am I the only one assuming that Fightlite has mothballed the SCR?
The signs I see don't look good. And their patent is still good for 8 years before anyone else can copy it. |

I can see RSRs inventory and they have pistols and pistol lowers in stock right now. If your local shop orders from them, you are in luck.

Contrary to some opinion here, the SCR and Fightlite are alive and well, but very busy. Pics from Orlando show a few weeks ago:

Not only did it have those sights, but this is back when they were $750 for a complete rifle (new; I think this one was less, as it was used.) I had actually just purchased my second SCR, but would have taken a third.

I like the overall looks of the Boyd buttstock but that sculpted line going from the bottom of the pistol grip down to the toe is heinous, looks like they copied the Tikka T3. It's a deal breaker for me, well that and it says on Boyds website they won't ship to California.

Finally, my Form 1 stamp came in from the ATF so I could put my SCR together, only 5 weeks this time. I bought it as a complete Raider since I couldn't find a rifle lower, sold off the upper, then submitted my paperwork and had the lower laser engraved.
After the stamp came back, I drilled and tapped the grip retainer to 7/16 and cut a piece of all thread to bolt down the 1187 Montecarlo stock. I opened up the channel in the stock just a tad, this allowed me to avoid finding a rifle buffer system. The upper is a Q Honey Badger 1:5 twist 300blk 7.5" barrel with the gas turned off, left side charge, Griffin taper mount and Griffin Sportsman can. Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16 FFP, Aero super light mount, Seekins rail, and Griffin modular iron sights. If I were intending to shoot it semi-auto, I'd still be seeking out a rifle buffer (I'm allegedly still on the 2 week waiting list with Fightlite) but since this is intended to be my take on the Mini Fix, and be as quiet as possible, the pistol system works just fine, it's essentially a straight pull bolt action. Now I just need to get it dialed in with the Discreet expanders and get after the yotes.  Attached File |

Someone I know just got a first generation SCR for $500. Monte Carlo stock, lightly used. No sights. No bolt catch. Likely an original trigger.
What's next? Any advice on sights, handguards, trigger job etc. |

I would love to get one for a 6.5 Grendel hunting build, but their $650 price is ridiculous. Hard to justify that price when these days I can buy entire rifle for that much.

I don't want to clutter a pic thread with talk, but I'm looking through here for some inspiration and thought I might get some good answers to a few questions.
1. What's the best (right) side charging upper (without the standard charging handle area still being there) for the SCR? Reciprocating is fine with me. 2. Is there any way to get a Larue-level of quality trigger? 3. Any thoughts on piston vs DI for the SCR? |

Planning on getting the wooden stock lower direct from fightlite but would rather have a monte carlo stock to reduce weight. If there is any one interested in a trade I will order it with one of the 4 choices and swap out the wooden for the plastic one.

BradN, did your plan ever come to fruition? I'd love to get a SGA stock on my SCR even if it means buying a BRN180 upper.
Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BradN: As is, it's not compatible. The angle of the action tube is different than the SGA stock. My plan to do a Brownells BN180 upper, unscrew the action tube and make an adapter to take the 1/4-28 stock bolt. |

Take your grip or stock off.
Install a small threaded adapter I made. Install SGA stock and BRN upper. Enjoy. The adapter is just the receiver thread on one end and 1/4-28 thread inside for the stock bolt. I also made a simple 6 pin wrench to get the grip retaining nut off. Funny thing I made an integral Ruger pistol and made the end cap use the same wrench...

BRN-180 upper on SCR Lower with SGA stock.
1) Purchase and install SCR SGA stock adapter from BradN. 2) Buy BRN-180 upper from Brownells 3) Cut slot in BRN-180 upper for SCR sear (drill & end mill) 4) Slightly widen slot in BRN-180 upper for SCR hammer (end mill or file) 5) Round off BRN-180 plastic cap "fake bolt protrusion" to match the contour of the plastic cap (file or dremel) 6) Enjoy    |

Reconsidering buying one of these. Have ideas in my mind. Need some answers though.
It seems the “pistol” lowers are cheaper and more readily available than the rifle lowers. I read that they have different recoil systems. Can anyone elaborate on exactly what the differences are? Will a stock not be able to fit on the pistol lower (think sbr or adding a long upper)? |

The pistol lower has a shorter recoil system than the rifle lower. A stock won't fit on my pistol lower. I've heard you can order the rifle parts on Fightlite's site but I haven't tried.
