Is not having an ejection port dust cover a big deal? I'm finding a few SCR-001's (no dust covers)in stock at a few dealers but the only SCR-011's I'm finding in stock have threaded barrels. Thank you .

Ask yourself, do you plan on hiking through the desert or a jungle with your rifle slung across your back? If the answer is no, then you don't need a dust cover. The threaded barrel is a no go in the PRNY.

I've bought an SCR-001 through an out of town dealer. Now I'm going to need advice on ammo and magazines for it! So I'm afraid I'm going to be pestering you guys for quite some time. Thank you in advance.

Great! Grab some 10 round PMAGs from magpul and some 55 grain FMJ white box Winchester or black box American eagle. Have a blast with it.
@DrTom don't worry about pestering these kinds of threads are actually enjoyable ( Actually talking about guns on a gun forum, Who'da thought!!) Your SCR should come with a 5rd mag which you would need for any hunting with a semi auto rifle. As @dsdmmat suggested go with the 10rd Magpul Pmags there $14.99 at Dicks Sports.
Did this rifle come with the Bolt catch? (probably not) It is a drop in accessory from Fight Lite (Ares Defense) for $39.99 it holds the bolt open after the last round has been fired.

Yes. That's what these forums are for. To learn and talk about guns rather than posting funny pictures like others like to do. Ask away. No gun question is stupid if you really don't know the answer to it.

OK, Thank you. My understanding is that the 5 round magazines are ok for hunting but the 10 round magazines are only legal at a firing range ;is that right? is there any limit to the number of 10 round magazines I can own? Can I have them loaded prior to to going to the range? Do they have to be metal magazines?
With respect to ammo, can I buy online? If so, is there a limit to how much I can buy?( I'm not looking to buy thousands of rounds just a few hundred) How much ammo would I need for an hour at the range?
The bolt catch sounds like a needed accessory; are there any others for example that make loading ammo into magazines easier that I should get?
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
Tom
Correct 5rd mags for hunting and the Un-Safe Act limits us to 10rd mags for all other uses!
Best to keep ammo separate (in ammo can or such) from rifle going to and from the Range.
The 5 rd mag that came with mine was metal and I picked up 2 more 5rd mags that were also metal. After watching a few video on YouTube it seems the the Magpul Pmags (plastic) will close the bolt when a full mag is inserted with the Bolt-catch (I have not sent my gen #1 out for the trigger upgrade yet, and they were sending it back with the Bolt-catch)
For just a few 100 rounds at a time you may catch some good sales local.

Does it matter whether I use .223 or 5.56 ammo in the SCR since it is caliber spec'ed at .223/5.56 ?
Thank you .
Tom
It is always best to do as the owners manual says!
Marine Cpl
.577 Tyrannosaur.
10 rounds can be loaded in 10 round magazines whether at the range, at home, or while carrying. The 7 rd limit was struck by a NY court and later reaffirmed by a circuit court. The NY Penal Law 265 has since been amended to reflect that although the NYSP website says otherwise.

You can shoot .223 in 5.56mm but not the other way around without potential damage.
If it says 5.56 on the barrel you can run both. If it says 223 Wylde on the barrel you can run both. If it says 223 Remington on the barrel you might see issues running 5.56 so it is not recommended but, I never have had issues.
If your barrel says 223/5.56 you can run both.
If your barrel says 223/5.56 you can run both.
@DrTom you have not gotten any wrong info on ammo for the SCR , The owner manual does say *223/5.56x45mm NATO*
Always wanted to get my hands on one of these, can't find anywhere.

Thank you. From what limitted reading I've done on the subject I understand that the two diffent ammunitions are indeed different and can cause problems if you use the 556 in a 223 barrel and chamber because of different pressures and slightly different dimensions.
Since the SCR can use both I don't have to woryy. I decided to go with the .223 ammo until I have some range time with my rifle.

I've read the reviews and for the money this should be all I need to get started; thank you for the heads up; I just bought one online for instore pickup.I'll try to figure out which scope rings once I get the SCR.

I like vortex, I have a set of their rings and a cantalever mount and two of their sights. They also have a good warranty.
Vortex Optics - Rings and Mounts
Get some 10 round mags. PMAGS are good. I prefer metal mags there are advantages to both. 10/30s are 30 round mags that only hold 10 but reviews on them are mixed. You can usually find mags online on Midwayusa or primary arms.

Had not thought about one of these lowers in a while but am now interested again as my son is now 18 and would enjoy it. Are there any local dealers in Westchester that sell the Monte Carlo lowers? I have seen some online but would rather see one in person before buying it.
Found a good deal online so time to start planning my next build.

It will go bang. I just use Winchester .223 from Walmart as it is readily available.
Yep cheap plinking ammo.
@DrTom I will be trying different brands to find what my SCR likes! Just not any steel cased ammo!!
Since my SCR only has a sling-lug on the butt-stock, I will be ordering 2 of these ( I have a Mappul Hunter stock on a 10/22) They call it Magpul MLOK Bipod mount, it will also work for a sling.
The elongated slots on the fore-grip are for other MLOK accessories and mounts.
