Living in a restricted state? Maybe you’ll find the SCR Rifle is legal there. Lacking those “evil” military features like pistol grip, collapsible stock, bayonet lug, and apparently last shot hold open (!), the SCR might just be the ticket. But as the video kicks off you’ll see we start off with a broken rifle…what?! Yep. But that’s explained and we dig into the outings that seemed to indicate the SCR is a smooth shooting, accurate, and fun platform. It is compared against the KelTec SU16CA which is still highly recommended. A fun GRV that you’ll like and that will help TNPrs living behind “behind enemy lines” who might have to possess only “featureless” rifles.

Gunnies Western in Orem helped make this review possible. Buy from them and thank them for their support of TNP.
Great job nutn. Thanks gunny for providing the gun
i went to the gun store and i wanted an AR-15 for a long time but i fell in love with the mini-14 because my dad and other family members worked in California corrections and there rifle of choice was the mini-14. Then i fell in love with the kel tec 16-ca for i can have a cheap rifle that's light weight and i do not have to worry about it being heavily regulated gun for it is featureless. Thank you Nutn for the videos and getting me to spend $1200 on 2 great rifles.
Loved the cut away videos! Not sure what the other guys are talking about, but the meme style of video editing totally makes you accessible to a younger (Millenial) audience!
Keep us updated
It will take any AR upper
About time
When the heck did they close the western desert to shooting? And with signs that say "Respect Life, NO SHOOTING!" WTF.
How about removing the barrel nut, and trying to take the barrel off of the bolt, as opposed to the other way around?
My father was stationed at Fairchild AFB…. he flew on B-36's! 6 turnin' – 4 burnin'
The irony of using Jim Carrey in a GRV did not get passed me…
I would just shell out a bit more and get a BAR detachable mag.
I love my SCR! Sent it back to Fightlite and they did a trigger job and it is awesome. Runs flawlessly….
I'd say send her back, get her fixed, and do testing round two with updated information where needed. Otherwise an interesting design for those in the occupied territories, and a good informative video as always. Keep up the great work.
Please report back on how the problem was solved.
One nice thing I found with that rifle is it fits in containers that an AR will not due to the pistol grip sitting out too far. That makes it a better cashe rifle. I really wish it had a last shot hold open though. The lack of that is really holding it back, and I am not sure why it does not have it.
Nothing you've said would make me want to purchase this over any other option similar to the SU. In no way would I "highly rate" this. There are already options to make a featureless AR which allows full AR component use. Seems to have no place in the market. Build a featureless utilizing those law conforming components and have a modified AR, don't buy a fumble like this.
I live in a free state, and I'd still like this gun.
Quick question I wanted to open up to you and your viewers. Now that that the Micro Roni is a thing and ar pistols and armbraces are a thing, what is holding Magpul back from producing a semi-auto only capable FMG-9 type gun? Keep up the great videos!
Is it possible to switch out the barrel on the upper of that rifle?
Broken cam pin…
If you have to use charging handle every time on a reload I would just use my shooting hand's thumb to actuate the mag release, can grab mag in same motion, might have been what they were thinking
Could someone from a left leaning state just buy that lower and use what ever upper they want
cant make the patreon work!
what is the link for the watch
I'd rather have a fixed stock and a commifornia fin or newyorkistan stub on a receiver that is proven instead of this contraption.
Ruger mini 14 wins over this
Looks like they turned an AR into a Ruger Ranch rifle
Keep us updated on the fate of this rifle!
I got the SU-16 because of the location of the mag release. Thanks for doing this review. There are millions and millions of us living in states where AR-15s are highly illegal.
Ruger Mini 14's have been excluded from Federal ban lists since I have been paying attention to these issues, early 2000's. That is something to keep in mind as well, if we do in fact get a big swing blue in Congress etc. I doubt that happens as most people I talk to are becoming disenfranchised with the Dem party as a whole, even people that have been lifers 60+ year olds, and can't imagine voting republican, they just won't turn out to vote.
Also, dudes been losing some serious weight it looks like, that awesome.
Time for Yodas' help…
Ummm, love the review but not the movie clips. They felt out of place.
If I was in a restricted state I would prefer a SKS, Mini-14 and M1 Garand.
Remove the handguard, gas block and gas tube, try a punch to the gas key to try moving the bcg
It's a neat looking rifle. I'm sure it's fun to shoot. Glad to see some good options for our friends in not-so-free states. Wish the trigger could swap for AR upgrades.
Bonus points for the whispering death line at the the end. Discussed in an old TNP video I believe.
"interesting shooting dynamic…" Bang, Bang, Bang, click…….. :-X
I have one of these in NY state, steel jams the crap out of it, but brass seems to work fine. I have also over lubed the crap out of it by accident, so that may have something to do with it. Just my experience.
Once my G19 locked closed in a casing with a LARGE burr or something. I had to get a screw driver from the guys to pry it open. Two grown men couldnt rack the slide no matter how much we tried. When I pried open the chamber and got the casing out I could see what locked it up. Just a messed up case from a cheap box of remington brass.
Doesnt matter what gun youre shooting you could always potentially render it doa with something as small as a fucked up round you had nothing to do with
Honestly, I kind of like the look of the SCR but have seen too many with issues of locking up bad. Always thought these would essentially put the Mini-14 out of business if they were working right though. I mean, it's got that potential but despite the issues the Mini-14 has, it at least works. Even the Kel-Tec SU-16 is a great competitive option, but it is not legal in certain states sadly.
How does the SCR compare to a Ruger Mini 14. As far as a restricted state compliant weapon.
I actually love the look of the stock without the pistol grip. Just sleek and sexy
starts with "I have NEVER done a review like this before…" ya that's seems accurate since it's ony 26minutes xD
jk mang loves ya
yeah this gun should be able to run pretty much any kind of ammo for it to get a passing grade
