Fightlite is sitting on a gold mine and is just twiddling their thumbs, milking this as much as they can. If they would make an SCR that works with an AR-10 upper, it would be sold out within a day.

​@@Joncenalol235Here in NY many people modify the BRN-180 upper to fit the SCR, because the rumor is the rat tail bolt carrier tends to jam. Instead of going through that most people just get the Ruger mini.

Thank you so Much For For Remembering us in the Restricted States.

I live in NYC , I have a grandfathered AR , but I just picked this rifle up last week in 223/5.56 I am extremely glad I did . It is very accurate for me and it is very good quality . I ran 2k rounds in a week . I used 5 types of ammo from the cheapest all the way to the top , no issues at all , not one . I have owned a mini 14 my entire life and this gun is way better than a mini 14 . I love that it can use any brand of AR mags unlike the Ruger . And ruger mini 14 in NYC are selling for $1200-1500 as of the last few months , taking advantage of the fact we can’t get any semi auto AR style rifles except for the Ruger , but that has now changed . This is less money and way more of a firearm . And as a man who has hunted his entire life and used hunting style rifles and shotguns , this gun feels real nice to me , better than my AR . It’s more natural and after or aging for a week I am extremely competent with this firearm , more so then anyone who shoots in the 3 gun clubs I am a member of ,

Glad to see the FightLite seems to finally be embracing the SCR. I have two of the original ARES-branded SCRs from 2014(?), which have been my primary semi-auto rifles here in NY. For many years, it was like the SCR was an afterthought, as far as production and support. It's always been a great product, so I'm happy to see higher production and more promotion. Hopefully, there will be a precision trigger option at some point, either from FightLite or from a third-party manufacturer (e.g., Geissele.)

Also from NY. I think the SCR is the best NY option as it’s still half an ar15. I let these pass me by the first two production runs. Wasn’t making that mistake a third time so I jumped as soon as they became available. I have a BCM upper on mine and happy with it but I’m also hoping for some aftermarket support. Hope fightlite is reading! Lol

One of the most sleek and sick looking AR-15 in these high-tech days. Hope the magazine release is extended so you can manipulate it with a trigger finger.

You should offer the bolt carrier that has been modified to work with Bear Creek Arsenal side charging uppers.

The more shorter lop options would really makes this product more female friendly. Adjustable spacers would make things easier to increase LOP

Got mine in about 3 weeks ago, absolutely LOVE it!! Very small break-in period...like one magazine. I've put about 200 rounds through it, 300 Blk, and it handles and shoots like a dream. Everyone that gets to shoot it immediately wants to order one. AND, Fightlite was top notch at contacting me and keeping me up to date on my order progress and delivery date. 5 stars all the way around.

That's basically the semi auto shotgun reciprocating system with AR fore end.

Looks like good options with the new Illinois law

They should make an adjustable stock like Ruger that utilizes spaces that can be removed or added to change the LOP.

Any chance of a Washington State version with a stock forearm extension from the lower like a classic rifle? Dunno if that's doable but would be such a blessing

You need to get these guns over to Europe.Esp the Herring lever action version for UK and Ireland.

What's the trigger pull weight?

Are the pistols transferred as pistols or SBR's?

What's the gas tube length and barrel profile on the uppers?

Will it fit left handed upper AR?

Are there any recommendations for sights? I find all the standard ar15 sights, even the Troy micro sights, sit too high and give me more of a chin weld than a cheek weld

I placed a comment in agreement with this post earlier today. It's gone for some reason. Basically I agreed that open sights are unobtainable for the SCR and I mentioned - with a link - that ARES (now Fightlite) used to make iron sights for the SCR and posted a link that described them. Is posting a link a problem and that's why my comment was deleted? Here's some information from the link... From ARES: May 2015 ARES Defense Systems, the country’s leading manufacturer of innovative, mission-configurable firearms, parts and accessories announces the release and availability of its optional iron sights for the company’s ARES SCR™ rifles. The sights are designed to be user installed in minutes with the supplied wrenches and instructions - No Gunsmithing Required! The front sight is installed over the ARES SCR™ low profile gas block and is a four-position protected post, adjustable for elevation with a standard AR sight wrench or bullet tip. The rear sight fits over the ARES SCR™ MIL-STD 1913 receiver rail and is user adjustable with a windage drum. Additionally, the front sight housing includes a 1″ sling swivel for mounting your favorite sling.

I like this but the price point is too high. Why would I purchase this lower for $700 when I could just buy a preban lower for the same price?

Great 👍🏻. To bad we don't see more in store

Need a 308 version

Big issue I have is the point of contact between the bolt carrier and the buffer. Just seems too easy for that little tail to slip out of the little dimple.

The only BCG that works for the SCR is the SCR unfortunately. BCA 5.56/.223 works but you would have to bring it to a gunsmith so you can have the BCG accept the threaded charging handle.

I don't see why a 22lr upper wouldn't work. They don't use the buffer at all. I only have experience with CMMG 22lr uppers. Mine is from right to bear. I believe the BCA is just different enough to not be CMMG parts compatible, but the same overall design. The only issue I could see is the back of the CMMG bolt carrier wouldn't have the stock ar15 buffer to push up against. To correct that some type of spacer could be created on a 3d printer or other material. I don't know how 9mm ar15s work, but I believe they require a buffer tube, and they use a different bcg. You could probably use a 6.5 grendel upper since they use the same bolt carrier, but a different bolt.
