What is the FightLite SCR?

At its core, the FightLite SCR is a platform designed to accommodate standard AR-15 mil-spec upper receiver assemblies on its proprietary lower receiver. This ingenious design not only preserves the reliability and versatility of the AR-15 platform but also offers users the flexibility to customize their rifle to suit their specific preferences and needs.

One of the standout features of the FightLite and the FightLite SCR lower is its distinctive sporter-style buttstock, reminiscent of traditional hunting rifles. This ergonomic design not only enhances maneuverability and quick target acquisition but also provides a comfortable shooting experience for users of all levels. Despite its classic appearance, the FightLite SCR retains all the essential features expected of a modern sporting rifle, including compatibility with various calibers, box magazine feeding, and compatibility with a wide range of optics and accessories.

Speaking of calibers, the FightLite SCR supports an impressive array of options, ranging from standard 5.56 and .300 Blackout to more exotic choices like 6.5 Grendel, .458 SOCOM, .50 Beowulf, and 7.62×39. This versatility allows users to tailor their SCR to their preferred shooting disciplines, whether it be hunting, target shooting, or tactical applications.

Ideal Truck Gun for Travel?

The FightLite SCR or a firearm built with a FightLight SCR lower serves as an excellent option for a truck gun during travel, thanks to its compact design and versatility. Whether navigating urban streets or rugged backcountry roads, its ergonomic build makes it easy to handle and store in a vehicle. Topping it with a red dot or LPVO enhances its usability, allowing for quick target acquisition and accurate shooting in various environments. With its reliable performance and adaptability, the FightLite SCR proves to be a practical and dependable choice for travelers seeking a capable firearm for their journeys.

FightLite SCR Recoil System and Features

One of the most intriguing aspects of the FightLite SCR is its recoil system, which eschews the traditional buffer tube in favor of a compact design housed within the buttstock. This innovative approach not only reduces weight and bulk but also contributes to the SCR’s sleek and streamlined profile.

Moreover, the SCR’s compliance with state regulations in restrictive areas such as California, New York, and New Jersey further expands its appeal. With features that render it “featureless” in accordance with local laws, the FightLite SCR provides enthusiasts in these regions with a legal and practical option for firearm ownership.
