So without it, you have no way of manually locking the bolt back? And it sounds like you just use the charging handle to either hold the bolt back for whatever need and always have to work the charging handle after a reload since you don't have a bolt lock?

Below is a link to FightLite's Facebook showing the bolt catch installation images and instructions. For those that wish to know why they decided not to include the bolt catch standard on all rifles, this link covers that too: ARES/FightLite SCR Optional Bolt Catch |

From my experience, FightLite has great customer service. Just give them a call and see if the rifle stocks are interchangeable. If so, you should be able to buy one straight from them over the phone. |

Does anyone have anti rotation pins on their lower? My trigger pins are so loose I can move them with my fingers, i'm worried they are going to fall out and I haven't even fired the gun yet.

Is it possible to use an acog on these? Or does the new stock lines put the Acog up stupidly high?

On the SCR, you naturally sit further back from the receiver than on an AR. That means it would have to be mounted pretty far back, especially the 3x24 Low. |

I got the handguard, gas block, and gas tube in today. All that is left now is the barrel and parts to complete the bolt.
Also drilled and tapped the low pro gas block to make it adjustable with a set screw

I asked previously and have searched the internet, but no results. Any anti-rotation pins out there for this? My trigger pins like to walk, a lot. Like I can push them out with my fingers and a hex key.

I received some more items for the build:
YHM EZ Push Takedown Pins (YHM-7290): The EZ Push pins are 0.010" longer than the standard ones and make removing the rear takedown pin a breeze. Installing the extended rear takedown pin is a necessity on these SCRs as far as I am concerned. I did not replace the front pivot pin as I have no difficulty removing the standard one. Anti-walk Pins (USA Stainless generic pins): The pins are standard AR length which left a gap between the receiver and bolt. To get a nice snug fit, I ground 0.030" off of the pins. I replaced the pins just for looks cause I hated that the original pins stuck out more on one side than the other... 
Before: 
After: 
Armaspec Enhanced Combat Button (ARM104-BLK): This was just another cosmetic modification. The Armaspec ECB closely matches the finish of the lower and gives it a nice clean look. The ECB also has noticeably less play/slop in the lower than the standard button has.

Haha yeah just a minor difference! I like the wood grain on your stock and nice work shaving the forend down to fit the rail. How did you end up attaching the wood? I will be putting a wood forend on the rail as well but haven't quite decided how I'm going to attach it. I just used a brass machine screw and a threaded block on the inside. Semi-ghetto, but it's quite secure and plenty aesthetic for my standards. |

So many pictures of pretty rifles! Here's my old girl after three days hunting in the Adirondacks.
 It was pretty cold at night but warmed up into the 20s in the day at times, making for some softer snow. We bushwhacked, hunting all day and shared a tent at night. She ran flawlessly except on the final night after a long, snowy hike out through really dense scrub and forest, the mag release froze enough that I had to bang it pretty solidly to drop the mag.
SCR Gibbz side charging upper 18" Lilja barrel in 6.5 Grendel Geiselle Mk something SWFA LPVO 1-6 FFP (I really like this scope for its true 1X, daylight visible illumination, and FFP. Also, it's a nice, bright piece of glass.)
