Mar
Being based in California, we get a lot of questions about the viability of the FightLite SCR, as well at the FiteLite SCR lower. Are they worth your time and money, and is it a rifle worth considering? Spoiler: We think so.
In the realm of firearms, innovation often intersects with tradition, resulting in products that pay homage to classic designs while introducing modern functionality. Enter the FightLite SCR® (Sport Configurable Rifle), a revolutionary firearm that seamlessly blends the iconic features of America’s longest-serving infantry rifle with the adaptability and performance desired by today’s sportsmen and women. For builders, there’s also the FiteLite SCR lower, which will allow you to build your own, providing for more customization options.
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.
For those seeking further customization, FightLite offers a proprietary trigger and fire control group specifically designed for the SCR. Featuring a crisp and responsive trigger pull, this component enhances the rifle’s overall performance while maintaining compatibility with mil-spec standards.
The recent introduction of synthetic stock models equipped with M-LOK aluminum handguards further underscores FightLite’s commitment to innovation and versatility. These additions not only enhance the rifle’s durability and functionality but also offer users additional options for personalization and accessorization.
Configurations
In addition to the standard rifle configuration, FightLite also offers two pistol variants based on the SCR platform: the SCR pistol, known as the Raider, and the newly launched Bandido pistol. These compact and maneuverable firearms inherit the DNA of their rifle counterparts due to the FightLite SCR lower, providing users with yet another avenue to experience the unique capabilities of the SCR platform.
Investing in just the FightLite SCR lower opens up a world of possibilities for firearm enthusiasts seeking customization and versatility. By opting for the lower assembly alone, users gain the freedom to pair it with their preferred upper receiver assembly, allowing them to tailor their firearm to their specific needs and preferences. Whether they opt for a standard 5.56 configuration or explore alternative calibers like 6.5 Grendel or .458 SOCOM, the modular nature of the FightLite SCR lower assembly ensures compatibility with a wide range of options. Additionally, by leveraging standard mil-spec parts for the majority of components, users benefit from a robust and familiar platform while still enjoying the unique features and ergonomic design that set the SCR apart. With the FightLite SCR lower assembly serving as the foundation for their custom build, enthusiasts can unleash their creativity and craft a rifle that perfectly suits their individual shooting style and requirements.
