The Fightlite SCR-16-FDMT delivers modern sporting rifle performance in a traditional rifle configuration that complies with restrictive state regulations. This semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223/5.56 NATO features the innovative SCR (Sport Configurable Rifle) platform that eliminates the pistol grip while maintaining full functionality.
What Makes This Different
The SCR platform uses a proprietary bolt carrier group and buffer system that operates without a traditional buffer tube extending into a pistol grip stock. This design allows the rifle to function with a conventional rifle stock while accepting standard AR-15 magazines and most AR-15 upper receivers. The system maintains the same manual of arms as an AR-15 platform but with a completely different ergonomic profile.
Key Features
- Semi-automatic operation in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO
- 16-inch threaded barrel with 1:7 twist rate for heavy bullets
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance
- Traditional rifle stock with integral buffer system
- Accepts standard AR-15 magazines (30-round included)
- Picatinny rail system for optics and accessories
- Threaded muzzle (1/2x28) ready for muzzle devices
The rifle performs reliably with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition across various bullet weights. The 1:7 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 55 to 77 grains effectively, making it suitable for precision shooting, hunting medium game, and competitive shooting disciplines. The Cerakote finish withstands harsh environmental conditions while the traditional stock design provides familiar handling characteristics.
