Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Regal_T-type:
something I have run into with these sights, even with the front sight post cranked all the way it still shoots a tad high. do they make different posts for these sights? When i was fitting up the Chaos USA diopter sights to my .45 SBR I had to weld up the front post and then profile it back down to the right height. Is it possible your rail is drooping a bit when tightened down? Is the barrel well centered vertically? |

the cz sight appears to have nearly twice the tpi compared to AR. Rail and barrel are perfectly strait

I really like that one on the left Because of the heavier barrel and handguard, as well as the light/switch, the second one is a little easier to control. Though, for the same reasons, the straight-stock one is a little handier. Plus, it's far less conspicuous. |

The M-Lok panels are from Megiddo Tactical Group (they either used to be Black Sheep Warrior or BSW was absorbed into MTG) in their "Natural Macarta" color. I have 4-section panels and parts of their grip stop kits on there. They are really nice, but tend to be out of stock. In the above picture, both rifles were cooling from being sighted in (one had new rings; the other had a never been sighted before) and putting 50 rounds each through them. |

nice Balios Light handguard! (it is an early version too with the inletting around the mlok slots) That said, it might end up on a different upper, since I'm thinking of swapping it for a 10" BL rail (Gen I, but unlikely to find an early one) or a 9" Seekins NOXs on this build. With a straight stock on an SCR, I just don't shoot well reaching out that far. It's possible, but I can control it better back a couple of inches. Going with something shorter should complete the lever-action look.

Meet the Caldaza Bayo CB-51 https://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/caldaza-bayo-cb-51/
Looks like an STG44 and an SCR had a love child. Bet parts from one of these (buttstock, handguards, gas block) could be grafted. https://www.cdnnsports.com/gsg-stg-44-22lr-16-5-bbl-wood-stock-1-25rd-mag.html#.W5esA-hKjIU |

For whom it may concern, I recently assembled a 24" barrel .224V with a 2' longer gas tube on a SCR lower my friend had delivered to his FFL from the FightLight factory in just one week. Sorry no pics yet, but the upper functioned 100% with that upper with the less expensive .224V ammo....and PRI magazines (6.8)...so in my experience, a SCR lower will function a 16" barrel upper, 20" and 24" .224V.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SCR556:
I have the same optic (but not OPMOD version) on my SCR. I really like that it uses a standard ring mount and mounted mine using the lowest mount Vortex offers. I am quite happy with it. I have my StrikeFire II in a medium tactical ring (0.97" rail-to-center) (edit: In looking at the pics online, it may actually be the "high" ring, which is 1.18" rail-to-center. I'll have to measure it.), which achieves an absolute co-witness with the Troy Micro sights. With the cheek pad (I added dense foam under it to make it Monte Carlo height), it works pretty well. Probably helps being a red dot, instead of a magnified scope. |

Aimpoint 9000SC Nothing particularly better about it than a regular Aimpoint, but somehow it just seems right for the SCR. |

Nutnfancy recently did a review of the SCR. Despite it locking up, he gave it a positive review.
He is attributing the lockup to a bad round, but a few replies stated that "they had heard" that these rifles tend to jam. I have not experienced this issue or heard that this is a common problem. Anyone else? |

Mines almost done, waiting on paint and cheek riser. 6.5 Grendel Faxon Match big gunner barrel with a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm. Been through a couple different rail options including a Foxtrot Mike and a RPR Mlok handguard. The FM HG had a full length rail that didnt allow the scope with medium rings and the RPR handguard even after being modified didnt tighten down on the barrel. Ended up with an Atlas S-one and milled the last rail section down so the scope will fit. The gas is turned off so it acts like a straight pull bolt action in case i want to hunt in PA. Over all weight with the suppressor and 5 rnds in the mag is 8.5 lbs.
