Have a Gibbz LH SCU enroute, in case I'm able to successfully create the LH BC. If not, I'll convert one of my LH ARs to SCU. Probably go with a mid length gas rig, generally prefer Larue barrels/gas blocks.
DJD, what scope did you settle on?

Hi, looking forward to hearing about your SCR BC fabrication, very cool!
I haven't fully decided on a final scope yet, though currently I have a cheap UTG 3X9X32 on there. It works quite well out to at least 100 yds when I had it on my .308. I will try it at 100 yds and 200 yds next time I hit the range with the SCR, when the rain stops.
It's a cheap Chinese Scope called the "BugBuster" (way less than $100 retail)...

I'll note that the glass has some distortion at the edges at max magnification, so I typically stick to 7X, and that the reticle is relatively thick which will be a PITA for long range stuff, but again for 200 yds and in it survived my .308, so I'm hoping it will have a long life on my .223 SCR. It has good eye relief and is decently bright for a 32mm AO.
I am also going to get a red dot most likely, and switch them around as desired. If I start shooting longer ranges then I'll pay for some good glass.
Good luck with your project!
