    Ares SCR "Featureless AR"

    I think this is actually pretty decent looking for what it is. I think it's the best looking "ban state" AR yet.

    Not that I plan on getting one... But throw a piston upper on it and build a sort of strange M14/AR love child. Might actually be cool.



    Initial Impressions

    The kit looks polished and complete. Nothing is out of place or sorts. That said, it is an awkward rifle compared to the standard AR-15 and perhaps its not fair to compare it to one? Changing the pistol grip complete changes how the rifle feels. With credit to my earlier comment, using the stock makes shoot similar to the Mini-14 or Kel-Tec SU-16. The recoil is no longer completely straight-line into the shoulder. That said, it was easy to double-tap with the suppressor and subsonic ammunition.

    The trigger was sufficient and I am sure the aftermarket will get right on it in short order. Charging and magazine releases felt simultaneously familiar and awkward. Same manual of arms minus your trigger finger does not reach the magazine release. Charging the rifle made me feel like I was going to “slide bite” my hand, but in reality there is plenty of clearance.

    I don’t think the SCR is a revolution, but will certainly credit as an evolution in response to changing legal requirements. For those in restricted states, this and other solutions will continue to give shooters semi-automatic options. The shooting population of California alone is more than enough to justify its production.

    Confirmed Features:
    1. Will accept any AR-15 upper receiver.
    2. Uses a proprietary bolt carrier & spring. Standard AR-style bolts accepted.
    3. Standard AR mag releases.
    4. Non-standard triggers, looks to be proprietary.
    5. Cross-bolt safety. Very similar to an Remington 870.
    6. Legal in all 50 states.

    I am actually considering buying one. The current configuration required of rifles in California is ridiculous. This would be the best solution. The closest thing to this right now is a Kel-tec SU-16.

    I love the idea that it's an AR that isn't "as scarey"... Only to highlight the pointlessness of bans.

    Although they could have given it more of a Magpul Shotgun look instead of a Remington 870 Syn look.

    I thought the same about the Magpul stock. Then wondered if they purposefully used a traditional stock to keep it looking Fudd.

    I'd rather just build a featureless and keep my standard safety selector, but not bad.

    Stuff like this really grabs my interest. If it works like it should, I will definitely want to add one to the safe.

    I'm hoping they offer it as just a lower/BCG option. I like my current featureless builds but choices are good.

    Anyone find it ironic they showcase a featureless AR... Except it has a short barreled upper and silencer?
