SHOT SHOW 2018: Flight Lite MCR Rifle and SCR Pistol

Our first stop was at the Flight Lite booth...I will let Greentips chime in the on MCR belt fed AR15





while i will comment on the SCR pistol...this 7.25" barreled AR15 pistol comes in 5.56 and 300 BLK with either Key Mod or M-lock handguard. It features direct-gas operation, a rotating bolt and a free floated barrel. Controls are the same as an AR except for the safety, which is a cross bolt like a shotgun.



I have to admit i was a bit skeptical when i first saw this on the SHOT show preview page but really it was AWESOME to shoot...one of my favourites of the day actually. When i shoot new guns i often look for 1) is it intuitive to use, e.g. do the controls fall into the right places for your muscle memory of does this require a ton of practice 2) how is the recoil 3) overall how well can i shoot with it. This gun did well on all three measures..i really like the combo of the crossbolt safety with the AR controls and you feel no recoil at all through the shockwave style grip.

That SCR is just wicked. Kind of is in the "Why did we make it? Because we can, Sir, because we can" category.

Can you put the MCR upper on the SCR lower tho?

the rifle intrigues me...the pistol, not so much. however, being it's got essentially the same stock as a Mare's Hand, I could see some nifty holster gun play in the future!

The more i look at the pistola the more i like it, kinda cool looking, probly more practical than a belt fed semi auto in Canada.

Looks like a carbine and rifle with similar lowers and traditional rifle buttstocks lying on the table. Any info on them?

how about some more pics then

I'm curious what changes to the "pistol's" bolt carrier has to be done to make it so it can travel into that buffer tube. Also the differences in the trigger. It's a cool work around to the silliness against pistol grips in some states.

And I still want to know more about the belt fed upper. As expensive and impractical as it is in this country, it's still cool and the lottery winning version of me would own one.

Google links and images as well as Youtube video holds all of the answers that you seek. Search "fightlite SCR" for the pistol and "fightlite MCR" for the dual-feed rifles and upper receivers. Hours of learning there for you.....

It looks very similar to the Mossberg 930 action.

It pivots on a hinge, and goes down the stock on an angle.

Thanks for the reports, I have my eye on this one.

The news about the MCR: they will have a semi automatic lower dedicated for belt fed in 2018. That is, a lower with no mag well.

Wasn't it you that said the AMG.1 Lower Receiver is dead? Seems not to be the case....

These companies make one or two of anything, show them in promotional materials but it doesn't mean they really offer them or have them in production. Kinda like the old KAC LMG.

They talked about making it available but they don't have anything in the show. So until they actually double down and ship them, it is only a great news item.

Soooooo it would Seem premature to hope its non restricted? Because everyone at the lab knows that ARs need a "magclipazine" well to hold the Magclipazine, and thus if there is no way to insert said magclipazine into the lower its not an Ar15.
