Fightlite SCR First Impressions At 300m 

I wish Fightlite would make a .308/7.62x51 version. The era of the traditional-stocked, semi-auto military rifle was too short in my opinion.

Not gonna lie. As a Missouri resident, who couldn't possibly fret less about the reasons this rifle exists, as an unadulterated connoisseur of multiple AR platform rifles... I kinda want a fightlight acr carbine in my personal armory. This thing is kinda actually pretty friggin cool!!

This video just popped into my feed after I referred to Fightlite in a comment on another video! BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!

Honestly as someone who doesn't live in a ban state, I'd want one of these. Go all-in on the heresy: BRN-180 upper, chamber it for .300 Blackout, Magpul SGA-870 stock (they're on the 870/1100 pattern). Like an SKS, but dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I'm from a ban state so the SCR has been on my radar for years now, but it was out of stock for so long that I ended up buying a Mini-14 instead. I'm still interested in the SCR, but at this point I think I'd rather deal with having a "fin grip" on a mil-spec AR lower over the very proprietary and expensive SCR lower. That said, very cool to see more content on the SCR!

I have always been a little fascinated by this rifle.

"you can put any AR-15 upper on it that you want" I want to see someone stick a .410 upper on one of those. (Are there even non-skeet shotgun ranges in Switzerland?)

As a left-hander of the devil .... I appreciate the curtousy reach around option

Being in the States, and living in a gun friendly area, I've thought these were interesting. Probably would never buy one, but I would like to shoot one. I'm also glad people in more restrictive states have the option of owning an AR stile rifle, legally.

Having a sling brush against my trigger finger constantly ike that would drive me absolutely batsht

You make shooting at 300 meters look so easy. The immediate feedback is nice also.

You just need an aftermarket mag release that reaches back further so you can release it with your right index finger like a standard AR15.

I just picked up a Fightlite SCR Raider chambered in 300 Blk and absolutely LOVE IT!

always been a huge fan of the fightlite conceptually, just really like that combo it's got going on of old and new

I honestly just really enjoy watching those electronic targets. I wish we had more of those in the states.

I made mine into a modern musket. It’s got a 20” pencil barrel with a 19” slim rail. With a 1.3” OD and 10” long can it’s actually quite manageable. Topped it with a 1-10x scope. It’s my go to coyote rifle.

I have a couple of these. ( Before fight lite) Converted one to 350 Legend. (9x45) Good shooters!! ❤

It's honestly not bad looking, and it holds a decent group for a non-free float. Thanks for checking it out.

Interesting reinvention of the AR14

BOTR. Long Time No See!!! Sorry for not watching the lot of your videos! I'm very busy this whole year. I know that I like Fightlite SCR.

Good job Mike

The right proper intermission music always gets me. Interesting AR variant. It's a tempting purchase just to irritate my friends.

That Rifle looks extremely beautiful

Little known fact about the SCR. Mark Serbu, weapons designer extraordinair, did much of the design on this rifle.

thats a clever sling mount!

In this format the ridiculousness of the forward assist really shows. Sometimes removing an item from its normal element can highlight its attributes or lack there of.

At 300m with a red dot, and factory ammo your results were good. I could list what I would do to the rifle for better accuracy but limited space and time, but the ammunition would be a start for consistency.

From 14 to 20 was a good group!🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Always liked guns with proper rifle looks. Wood+steel and I am sold. I get the feeling this would look beautiful in chestnut stock and handguard.

BTW- a Muzzel protector is good to go for California.

Just a note, you can have a threaded muzzle on a rifle in California, but you can only have a muzzle brake, not a flash suppressor. It's pistols that can't have threaded barrels.

I love those!

For the price of that lower ther trigger should feel like sheer gold

Think this is an underrated design, although perhaps the buffer tube is a bit cludgy an idea. This better suits the Everyman rifle concept than do scout rifles. Also, I think the more traditional design more suited to home defence use as it’s more usable as a club than are pistol grip style weapons- you don’t have to change your grip hitting someone for one thing. 🤷🏻

I can't hear the words 'Primary Arms' being spoken normally any more. It *has* to be said in a Micah-from-Garand-Thumb fashion!

If muzzle blast is a problem, I would suggest a blast can/attenuator. it will be sending flash forward and away from you and all others. As to California, I built my featureless around the Thordsen FRS-15 Gen-I stock, a Sentinel .223 Wylde 1-8 twist free floated barrel in a UTG 15-inch forearm. The barrels muzzle is threaded and as long as one uses a "Brake" and not an evil "Flash-Hider" you're golden and can have the magazine release and (sigh) 10-round magazines. This upper is topped with a 2x7 Vortex Crossfire BDC scope will happily turn in sub-moa with most offerings. though it does tend to really like the heavier projectiles Hornady Frontier 68 BTHP and Hornady Black 75 BTHP match, and 77 grain Sierra BTHP Match-Kings. The lower houses a Rock-River 2-stage national match drop in trigger which is glorious, breaking right at 3-pounds.

Man, that thing looks badass! Gun grabbers: "OMG!!! It's a fully semi automatic Assault Rifle!!!" ..."Oh, wait a minute. It isn't all black. Nevermind."

Look at zoomed-in muzzle compared to features on the grass behind. It varies a fair bit.

That looks like an answer to a question that nobody asked.

I feel like this gun would be much improved with a left hand side charging handle.

I haven't figured out the magic sauce for lightweight rifles that don't string. As far as I can tell, it's down to luck. I've built, and seen built, dozens of pencil-barreled rifles, some free float, some not, and some of them will string or wander, and some of them won't. I've seen some perform terribly at 100m, and some perform great at 700. The best explanation I can offer is that it's down to the barrel itself. When you shave them down that far, any residual stress in the material is going to make itself known - and of course, it's either there, or it isn't. And cost on the barrel might not make a difference, since it's a function of the blank, not the finishing. In any case, I've never seen a good study on the subject, and it would be a lot of work to do it.

I refuse to believe these are real. I’ve never seen one IRL and yet I’ve seen several of the belt fed uppers/rifles dating back to when they were ARES Defense Systems, and those are stupidly expensive pieces of kit.

I found my SCR works well with most modern mags but it won't stay open with an old 20 round GI mag with an aluminum follower. I really like the Lancer magazines, even more so than the MagPul.

Strange to see this this morning, as for some reason I woke up this morning thinking that I wished someone would make a carbine in 5.56 that was as light (or close) and handy as an M1 carbine, with a bore close to the grip and a low sight/scope line. Since there is some vertical movement of the rat tail, buffer, and spring, I wonder if that is the source of your vertical dispersion.

0:58 I actually thought that the Fightlites intentionally did not have a hold open. Like as a feature. That way if a hold open ever gets banned these rifles would still be good. I find it interesting they have one

Nice video so you're saying you don't have last round bolt hold open ? Because I read somewhere that all the newer versions comes with it installed so you have an older version ?

I've always wanted to see one of these run through a 2-gun competition, just for funsies.

I really want one but cannot find one anywhere

Rather attractive, I think. Maybe get the free-floated version and have my own Star Wars blaster. 👽

I was kicking around the Idea of one of those with a 6.5 Grendel upper on it as a deer rifle.

Dang Mike, you make me so jealous. I've been wanting one of those SCR's for a couple of years now, but I can't seem to catch them in stock here in the Southern United States. I better check and see if I'm still on the waiting list for when they come back in stock. Oh, By The Way, are you enjoying the NERO 556 on your WWSD AR rifle? Why don't you give us a quick rundown on performance, likes, don't like,& etctera. You might consider putting the NERO 556 on your FightLite rifle & see what kind of performance you could get out of the Walker and FightLite combination. I would be really interested in your take on that combination and I'm sure a lot of your followers would be as well! Thanks for all you do for us, Mike. Regards, Matt In North Texas

I want one and use a self contiained upper like a brn180

Threaded barrel is ok for CA if I rember correctly, but isn't in NY

I wonder if it’s Canadian legal?

Where can I buy one ???

It may sound stupid but I have wanted one of those lowers with the ps90/ar57 upper. Just for a toy but I believe it would be super cool and have 50 rounds in a sleek package.

I didn't think that initial group was all that terrible (minus the first two rounds, of course) at 300 meters, considering it was a non-magnified optic. I live in the middle third of the USA, and can buy pretty much whatever, but I still wouldn't mind having one of those. The only turnoff is the cost compared to a "regular" AR.

Since the bolt hold open worked on the short pMag, did you try any regular PMags to see if they activated the bolt hold open?

I like the flight lite lower bc ever since I was young I shot a SKS. With prices now I rather run a more practical and cheaper rifle. So a AR like my bros would be good, but I never really liked the pustol grip on rifles. This lower makes a good middle ground for me :)

What would one use for "Iron sights" on this rifle? Fightlite used to offer a "clamp onto the gas block" front sight and a rail mounted rear sight but I don't see that being offered on their website now.

How is your sling attached to the rear of the receiver? It looks like it's attached to the forward-assist charger housing somehow. Thanks

I wish I could loan you my SU16C! Same overall form, but a long-stroke piston; I currently have the conventional SU stock on mine--not the skeletonized underfolder. Is the rear sling swivel actually mounted in the forward assist position?

Have you tried other pmags to see if the bolt hold open works with them?

I wonder if the lower will accept a brn180 upper since the recoil system doesn't depend on a buffer tube.

Almost seems like it wants to be hot?

That’s a strange place for the sling attachment.

Where/how does one get a scr lower or rifle in Europe? I have looked everywhere!

Isn't this a direct competitor to Ruger's Mini 14?

They make these with walnut stocks, I want one...

Can you put in a drop in trigger?

Is it a lower only? Or is it a complete rifle? Your handguard seems to match the stock. Other videos i seen were just lowers. So i thought that was how they were sold.

Is the lower so different that they couldn’t have adapted one of the nice AR triggers to work with their system?

What sling adapter are you using?

100 MOA?

Can the trigger be changed out?

Go LPVO , and annoying muzzel break.

A *_Lovecraftian HORROR_* unleashed upon the world

If only they’d make a 308/7.62x51 sized one

Everyone likes a little reach around.

Schönes Gewehr.

Ah the I want too be a scout rifle.

$1.400 US. and 5.8 lbs (2.63 Kg) a bit much. I would prefer a least scary look and light weight (under 5 lbs) but I can own ARs in my state FL. It has it's place.

First comment. Also, I love my SCR.

What kind of sope is that. Looks nice.

Interesting rifle, very rough and inconclusive testing.

the proper way to deal with that is a crush washer.

Does it not have a buffer tube? Also, it would be cool if they made one with a mid length gas system.

Kicks a lot for a .223?

Looks like a Frankencarbine.

Your eye is quite far outside the eye relief of the optic. This may be contributing to parallax error.

it's a mini 14 🤔🤷

its not pretty. but definitely interesting. Unfortunately, until IL anti 2A law is repealed, even this Franken AR is on banned lists due to high capacity mags.

Rip not 50 state legal anymore

what country is this range again?

How about shoot off the magazine?

I mean, this rifle seems to handle and perform decently. But boy is it fugly. Especially with gray stock, stubby handguard that looks fat due to the lengthy thin barrel in front of it. And oh boy it looks bad with a mag over 10 rounds in capacity.

It just needs to be in 6x45 to be a real rifle. Shoot 90grs at 2700.

eine Frage wo gehst du denn300 Meter Schiessen in der Schweiz und bist du in einem Verein oder wo kann man denn einfach so 300 Mete Schiessen in der Schweiz ???

A rifle for people whose governments are scared of plastic furniture and pistol grips!!
