The SCR has a certain beauty to it. Has anyone put a .458 SOCOM upper on one?
Seems like it would make a nice quick shooting, heavy hitter. |

Quote HistoryAlways wanted an SCR but Geoff is total scum and a liar so no more of my dollars would ever go to him. There are still guys in my MG group today that would love to have a Shrike but they just cannot bring themselves to buy one given what he did to me and so many others. |

Extended-Range SCR Pistol, you say?
 Attached FileOur FightLite SCR® Pistol Scabbard is designed to protect and help you carry your Extended-Range™ SCR® Pistol Looks like a longer buffer system than the pistol, but perhaps shorter than the rifle. They don't have that option for sale under SCR pistol lowers, but they do have the scabbard there. Odd. |

The SCR is a joke. There are numerous states that if they actually manufactured it in any real numbers and priced it right every single new gun owner would buy one.
They would have a lock on the market. Instead, you can't even be sure if FightLite is a real, functioning company. |

They need to partner with Brownells and do a BRN-180 setup. Gets you away from using a oddball bolt setup and gives you a pretty damn perfect rifle setup. Also gives you a lot more stock options because then you don't need to worry about the rat tail

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tankdawg0057: How difficult is it to fit a 1100 stock? Does anyone have instructions? Like everyone else I’m not impressed with those boyd’s ones. It's been a while since I did mine, but it wasn't tough. Basically, I measured the "nub" on the SCR receiver (3/4" diameter is why sticks in my head, but it might have been 5/8", by about 1/2" long, but don't quote me on either of those.) Looked in my bits bin and found a Dremel bit that was exactly the right size. A few minutes later, I had bored out the original hole for about 1/2" deep. The stock then slid on and mated almost perfectly. Took a pass with a file to remove two very (and I mean very) slight high spots for it to fit in perfectly. I imagine that last part is not consistently true, but was a characteristic of my particular stock. Once I realized that I should have a bearing plate with a wood stock, that took a little more work. Had to open its hole up to the same diameter, but it was a bit tougher than wood. Also, a thin-walled socket (19mm, I think) is a necessity to loosen and then tighten the recoil system. |

Instead, you can't even be sure if FightLite is a real, functioning company. I have owned an early SCR (serial 102X) for years and I love the gun, and I couldn't agree more with you. It's such a joke. They could dominate the ban state market and outsell the Mini-14 hand over fist. They could sell millions in California alone, especially in the run up to the election, price them reasonably and INCLUDE SOME DAMN SIGHTS WITH THE STOCK GUN but they just....won't. They don't seem to care about any of their customers or their products and people could have this as a way better option rather than the current dumb gimped compliance rifles with flipper stocks. |

For anyone who has seen the musical, Hamilton, I often feel about Geoff Herring as Hamilton felt about Burr. Initially, I was in awe of what he had accomplished (designing SCR and Shrike), but since then, I've just thought, "what are you waiting for?" and "I will never understand you."
