Cool! I have AR's, but would LOVE to buy one of these Ares SCR rifle or lower. I like 'em. I'm a little (well very) cash strapped right now after having bought a Dillon Super 1050 a month ago. The SCR might be in my future.
|
|
While not the best option, if I didn't have any ar's I would definitely look into these.
|
|
So I have a post ban S&W sport. The kind with the non threaded barrel. I think that upper on the lower would be good to go. What I'm really looking for is a trunk gun. So this lower with that upper would not need to follow the AW transportation restrictions. If my thought process is correct.
So that lower, my upper, and a trunk vault. A stash of 10 round mags. And that's quite a nice addition to a vehicle. In the back of my mind I had been thinking of getting a Troy PAR as a trunk gun. My M&P lower was also going to be my first SBR'd lower. This story almost writes itself. Anyone see anything I'm overlooking? |

I think you need to be going to a range or other allowed place with an AW.
You can't have it all the time in the trunk I don't think IBTWOT ETA, I reread your post you want to carry the Ares around. That may be ok |

No one here seems to have tried it yet....I guess everyone here would rather spend an extra 400$ and get preban.
But I do like it. Paired with a post ban type, light weight, mid length, upper it could be a nice light set up. |

OK here we go again with a wall of text to explain our stupid laws and how the Ares SCR fits in to the wording of the law. Note: The following only applies to post September 13, 1994 manufactured firearms.
The Ares SCR is not banned by name. The Ares SCR, if a centerfire semiautomatic detachable magazine rilfe, cannot have any of the following features:
The Ares SCR cannot be a semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has an overall length of less than thirty inches. Now if the ARES SCR, or any other semiautomatic detachable magazine rifle (regardless of caliber), gets past the above idiotic legal language, then because of Sec. 53-202a(1)(E)(ix), it has to get past the old law's two feature ban. This means that a semiautomatic detachable magazine centerfire rifle that gets past the above feature ban list can have; a bayonet mount or a threaded barrel, but it cannot have both. A semiautomatic detachable magazine rimfire rifle can have only one of the following features:

I'm sure I missed it somewhere, but is anyone in CT transferring these lowers yet? I'm holding out hope for a 308, but I might grab one for shiggles.

Ah NGX, I did indeed miss that. My apologies. I will have to stop in there, my local gun guy gets iffy about transferring new things if there's any debate about its legality.

The Knights armament ambi mag release is indeed quite a bit longer on the left side of the receiver, but it's only about an inch. I don't know if it would be long enough and it doesn't help you rightys out there.

Go with a side charging upper. Check out the link I posted above.

An interesting set up for those stuck in gun grabber states.
Since it doesn't need a traditional AR buffer tube set up, could an ARAK 21 upper work on the SCR? |

I don't see why not...it says in its description it will fit in ar15 lower receivers...the scr can take any ar15 upper...

Anyone can get a sbr stamp. Doesn't matter your credentials.
Get your scr, get your stamp by doing the papers, wait, once approved you can get an upper shorter than 16" if you do not have a pistol lower for it. If you have a pistol lower, you can buy the shorter than 12" upper, but do not put it on a rifle lower until your SBR stamp comes back approved. Others will chime in if I'm wrong, which I don't believe iam. Go to the class 3 section and you'll see SBR, general class 3 and a couple more |

I picked one of these lowers up a few months ago to mess around with. The ergos aren't terrible. It's no M4 but it's useable.
Don't forget in CT the AW transportation laws apply to Prebans, so if you're going to stash a long gun in the back of your truck a Preban won't work. |

Is there wording on SBR paperwork that indicates the firearm is an AW? The thought that I would need a COP confuses me. Why would it come up that this is an AW? Does it become an AW with the SBR classification? Or is it just due to stupid government officials who think they are actually in charge? I may seriously give this a try early next year with tax return money. Need to get all my ducks in a row first.

The SCR has a 37" OAL with a 16.25" barrel. You should theoretically be able to File a Form 1 and chop the barrel to 12.25" without needing an AW cert as the OAL would still be over 30"

In the 9" realm thinking .300 not .223. I was thinking the same thing, that this would fall int bolt/lever gun realm and not need the COP as it's not an AW. That was unless the act of SBRing turns it into an AW. Very new to this side of the house. |
