Probably are. You might as well just build an AR15 with the Thordsen FRS Stock

Not Ares Armor, the Oceanside gun shop and erstwhile manufacturer, now known as American Weapons Components. This is Ares Defense of Florida. From the new website (link): Quote:

wow wtf? Can't believe they would discontinue those seeing as how they would have had a virtual monopoly on ARs in CA after Jan 01

Nothing on GB now, lots of "Not in Stock" at on line stores. Gander shows complete rifles for about $750.00. I already have one but wouldn't mind another, seems odd that they would discontinue. I was surprised though that they didn't seem to be particularly popular even in CA. The LGS didn't exactly have them flying off the shelves.

The turners near me had one a couple years ago and I think they couldn't sell it. Maybe it was a bad one but it was a piece of junk. I posted my thoughts on it here. The trigger was something horrific like 20 lbs.
The guy behind the counter took it apart and couldn't get it back together, just a bad example. I couldn't imagine it taking off back then. |

On the facebook page, they state they are still making them. Just getting the website together and such. It can't have passed them by that they'll have a CA ready compliance monopoly. |

That aside.....why would they have a "virtual monopoly" after the 2017? Are all of our featureless options going up in smoke? |

Looks to be ok, I used a standard low Trijicon mount. Im about to head to the range and zero it in. I can still see the irons thought it, I would compare it to an AR with 1/3 co witness.

Assembly can be difficult if you're not mechanically inclined or haven't read the manual. Once you figure it out, its not all that bad. |

This one is going to get a Faxon 7.62x39 upper and I'm going to try adding a Magpul SGA for the 870 after I remove the buffer tube. Stoked. My current one. |

if the company changed their name..likely they also had to change their FFL which means a delay in new production.

I expect other companies to start designing compliant rifles. There's too much money to be made in this market for them to just abandon California! |

Its like 5-7lb break. Typical low end AR trigger. You can put one of the JP Yellow springs in it and the break is lighter iirc.

Yeah it'd take a little bit of dremel work to get it to seat properly. The catch is you have to use a piston type upper cause the buffer tube would have to come out.

Ares SCR discontinued??
No, not just any piston upper -- it would have to be one in which the spring is contained in the upper. Not every piston upper is so equipped; certain manufacturers use proprietary systems that eliminate the standard buffer system.

Good point. I'm thinking about the ARAK which is all in the upper.

Really cool if you happen to have an M16 lower.

The smoother transition plan is to setup the new company name and FFL before closing down the old one.

Maybe an upper from a Rock River Arms LAR-PDS, although I don't believe RRA sells the uppers separately.
The problem with speculating about uppers that use over-the-barrel spring systems is that without seeing a particular model, you can't really tell how proprietary it is. The question I would be worried about is not whether one of these uppers will bolt on to the SCR lower, but whether the internal spring system requires some kind of unusual bolt carrier to interface with the spring. If that's the case, you're probably precluded from using the equally proprietary shortened bolt carrier that's required for an SCR to function, and the whole idea is torpedoed.
