FightLite SCR
Handloading: .300 HAM'R
Rebuilt for .300 HAM'R — I originally built this rifle for .350 Legend, but I couldn't make it feed correctly. I decided to rebuild it for a different caliber. In addition to the caliber change, it has gone from a 16" barrel to 18", a carbine length gas system to mid-length, and an unfinished stainless barrell to black. It looks better; now let's see if it functions better.
I built this AR-15 around the FightLite SCR lower receiver. It is chambered in .300 HAM'R. The makers of the caliber (Wilson Combat) seem to feel it is an excellent hog cartridge, and is also suitable for black bear, mule deer, and whitetail deer.
My first sighting of feral hog involved nearly a dozen of them. It seems to me that if I were going to hunt feral hog, I would want a semi-automatic rifle with good magazine capacity. Missouri no longer allows feral hog hunting on public land, but there are still other opportunities.

Since this is a semi-automatic rifle that will eject brass far and wide, a lifetime supply of brass is like 500 pieces.
