Options for AR-15 fixed mag

[dsdmmat]

I wonder if the SCR wouldn't be good enough on its own merit that it could remain viable in a post ban world.

I have three of them, they are set up for bench shooting two chambered in 224 Valkyrie, one wears a HB 20” 223 barrel. The traditional stock set up makes them perfect for shooting off a rest. Their versatility to accept AR uppers and mags will keep them around for a while. People have been asking the company to build a 308 version, which I would buy in a heartbeat.

I also use a prince 50, and an fc hook.

Usually I fall back to the dd's because my thought process is it's cheap for one, and the bigger thing in my mind is if I ever did have to defend myself in front of a jury- the dd's lock - unlike the prince 50 doesn't revert back to normal by loosening a screw. Dd's needs to be fully dissembled to remove or attach a mag.

Not necessary. But whatever makes you feel good I guess.

Prince 50 meets all standards. If you want to sit in front of a jury and open your toolbox and modify my gun that’s on you.

It’s no different than me arresting you forhaving an automatic weapon then taking my tools to your gun in front of the court and modifying it to fire automatically.

It either is or it isn’t. You can’t be kind of pregnant.

Thats exactly why I never understood where this whole "epoxy the nut on the mag lock" came from.

A mag lock is the "compliance" in itself.

There is a place local to me selling ar maglocks and I believe complete guns with them installed,I will be installing one with a king pin on a new build in a few days when it arrives.

Yes I agree, there is more to the SCR than mere compliance. This is why I just don't understand that given the option and having the funds a NYer would choose a fixed mag AR over an SCR.

I think if they were more readily available and similar price people would.

Well, what is available these days. The basic ones were what- $900, $1,000? I think that is a good price for a quality AR.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Everything everyone here is saying, plus pour concrete down the barrel. Only way to be sure. You may still be arrested until the cops figure out you have concrete in the barrel, but even that isn't any kind of guarantee

I think they are listed at 1,200 on their website but just like the last oh I think 2-3 years... out of stock.

650 for just the complete lower (but it's complete and comes with the bcg) neither are bad prices for what it is.

Just the bolt carrier, you don’t get the bolt, firing pin or bolt retaining pin. The bolt carrier and tail is 200 bucks by it self. I have two extras so I can build spare uppers for the ones I have.

Correct I'm so used to typing the g when I type bc

Yeah the first one (complete rifle) I got for 651 because it wasn’t moving. It had the horrible trigger in it. I took it home boxed it up and sent it to Ares and they put in the modified trigger and sent it back . Then I sold off the upper for 400 bucks and built my own.

Still not a bad deal for a 50 state legal gun.

 

[Edwardteach72]

Like I would like to get my hands on an SCR lower one day, it'd be perfect for here in NY for the tactical games

***edit*** especially now with Magpul is selling OEM 10/30 mags

No not at all, that was the point I was trying to make, if it came off the opposite my bad

Mean arms makes a mag lock. I’d imagine it would be a huge pain to remove

Can you easily make that compmag 5 rounds? Does the compmag work well?

Is it easy to load and unload?

I've had no issues with the compmag, just be sure not to overtighten the maglock and it's good to go. Loading is ok, tilt it on a sidways angle, and fill it up. Not quite as fast as filling a normal mag. Unloading is quick and effortless.

It beats top loading and unloading for sure. Problem is it's a bit pricey. I think I paid $70 for it.

Haven't had it apart in a while, but I'm sure it could be made a 5 rounder. Comes apart easy enough like anything else. It's a single stack mag.

I had an scr lower and sold it. Then I ended up buying another. Still sits in the safe waiting for me to decide what to do with it

I got mine 4 years ago for $599.00 used but unfired. Gen 1 also, sent it in to ARES for the trigger upgrade at no charge. Got a sweet AREO handguard from @Robin in a KARMA on here and a 19'' Green Mountain barrel recommended by @dsdmmat, very happy with it!!

 

[Robin]

Wish I could help you, I have not seen another of these since I bought mine. Also it looks like FightLite is now making them with wood stocks. There are a few other threads on here about SCR's you can get more input from.

 

[Robin]

Is there any significant difference between Ares and Fightlight? They seem to be the only ones making them that I could find.

Ares was the original designer and manufacturer of the SCR.. they since sold their patent (I believe they went out of business) to Fightlite who has taken over the production of the SCR since

It was just a name change.

And... Ok I'll poke the 500lb gorilla in the room


Who here has EVER had their firearm taken and inspected while in use? Hunting or at a range?

Just curious!..

Because honestly, absent a warrant, it would never stand scrutiny! This was the same argument that took place with the <10 round limit via safe act! It's unenforceable in itself.
Mere possession of a firearm is not cause for suspicion or probable cause. Of course any day excuse could be used or made up to justify an encroachment upon someone's right. The problem is thinking at every corner is the big had Boogeyman that's gonna lock you up because 2A!!! This is the NY programming you've been subject to and permeated into many a brain. It's unfortunate!

Anyways, go ahead, have some fun, and stop worrying so much about nothing that will ever happen!

Regards!

Only case I know of happened no too far from me. 2 kids trespassing at rock quarry. Shot hit a neighbor building. Charged guy with reckless endangerment, confiscated gun which had an armr2. This was not long after safe act. Shooter from the other forums was keeping us informed on case, then heard nothing. I believe they probably confiscated, and dropped charges as a plea because that's the last I heard.
