ARES SCR Sport Configurable Rifle to Debut at NRA Show 2014
It seems like every few months we repeat the same old process. California, New York or some other ballistic backwater decides that they need to “crack down” on the “scourge of assault rifles” and adds another item to the list of banned features. So far companies have been able to stay one step ahead of the laws and keep AR-15 rifles on the shelves. Now a company called ARES Defense Systems is debuting a new AR-esque rifle that’s designed from the ground up to be closer to the traditional rifle design than the AR-15. Gone is the pistol grip, bayonet lug, and the flash hider, and a Monte Carlo stock replaces the buffer tube in this new design. The rifle even uses a cross-bar safety instead of the more traditional selector switch. Make the jump for the press release, and watch for more info when we see it at the NRA meeting next week.
ARES Defense will roll out an all new rifle platform for the American sportsman at the NRA Show in Indianapolis, April 25-27 2014.
The innovative, patented ARES SCR (Sport Configurable Rifle) is the first of its class of firearms that is legal in all 50 states.
The ARES SCR blends strength, reliability, accuracy with the rugged all weather characteristics of America’s longest serving infantry rifle and the classic lines of an all-American sporter.
Lightweight, accurate and featuring a MIL-STD 1913 flat top upper receiver that accepts most modern optics, the ARES SCR is designed to perform under the most demanding field, competitive shooting or tactical conditions. The multi-caliber, modular design permits the operator to instantly change calibers in the field by simply pressing two pins and exchanging one upper receiver assembly for another.
Designed for optimal configuration, the ARES SCR accepts most Modern Sporting Rifle accessories and parts including magazines, upper receivers, barrels, bolts, handguards and optics- so it can be easily and effectively reconfigured for each individual shooters’ style and activity.
Supported by a full line of performance accessories and manufactured of the highest quality aircraft grade alloys by American craftsmen, the weatherproof, dependable ARES SCR will provide a lifetime of accurate shooting pleasure for all Americans.
