ARES SCR - anyone shot one?

[graycrait]

Was wondering about this one.  The second and third links mention the heavy trigger, which would seem like an easy fix.

It looks quite interesting, and I'm trying to, but I can't seem to find a reason for it in a free state. Maybe California.

In NY you cannot have a pistol grip on a rifle. I am assuming it is designed to be sold there. It also has the low round count mag.

Would definitely be a good choice in a restricted state, but for $800 you could find a lightly used Colt LE6920.

I've had several ARs, just am not a fan of toting a rifle with a pistol grip, shotgun either.  I had to tote an AR for quite some time to earn a paycheck and like a long gun without pistol grip.  However, I do like the modularity and barrel variety of the AR.  So one day I might trade for one of these just to see how it works.

Gotcha. I wasn't even thinking personal preference. If you already have a build, have you considered a Hammerhead grip? Only $30.

Hammer285,

 

Thanks for the link.  However, I don't currently have an AR, sold my last one to a young cop here in town for what I had in it.  

 

They have to buy their own here and they don't make a lot of money.

 

Again, thanks for the link.  With the right stock that "90 degree" grip would be interesting to fiddle with.

Ares Defense has horrible customer service..

AD came up with a belt-fed 556 upper early 2000's, took pre payments like $2000+ish and didn't start delivering them until 2010ish and wouldn't refund peoples money, after the release and 100's hitting the streets...then seeing them on youtube,  I ended up buying one...
