It isn't, i mentioned in one of my previous replies that I still need to have a faux flash hider pinned on over the threads. This is something out of my skill set; I'm terrible at welding.

I have an mag lock on it until I get this done to remain compliant.

In worse case ill just put three weld points on the faux flash hider, that should suffice.

WOW! Awesome work! I have a Fight Lite and I am thinking of giving this a shot since I live in the city. Where did you get the adapter for the stock? Also I don't understand why you had to modify the rear lug on the upper I thought Fight Lite lowers will accept any AR upper. Any tips you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for blazing the trail.

Thanks. Im sure some troll will knock it because I modded my BRN upper.

Anyway...

Removing the factory stock / recoil spring and rod is easy. Found a guy who makes a Magpul SGA 870 stock adapter for the SCR.

Its basically a small piece of rod stock of the same diameter as the tube which houses the factory recoil rod/spring. It is threaded to the same pitch as the SCR lower "buffer tube" screw hole and its drilled/threaded in the middle to accommodate the SGA screw.

After you get this piece or fab it yourself, you just have to assemble which is easy-peasy.

Only terrible thing about the BRN-180 is the side chargers goose neck shape interferes with scope screws so i had to pop mine out and flip them to the other side. You can also use a cantilever; it's a minor inconvenience.

Edit: It definitely lost weight not using the factory stock and recoil system. I hope that other downstaters here can benefit to this build so they too can have ideas toward building something they like and is functional.

Thanks. I wouldn't say I'm blazing a trail, just encouraged by Fuhrër Cuomo and his cunt dog AG James to create something with form and function.

I found a guy on AR15 forums who makes the adapter, I forgot his name.
