Okay, I see how the BHO works now. It's not as bad as I though, since there's an actual slot with a plug that can be removed to install the BHO. I'd imagined it was more improvised and jammed in there. But I do agree that some kind of mechanism, other than adhesive, to make it stay in its slot would be helpful: You slide the BHO into the slot after you've removed the plug, and you push the lever so the BHO rides over the back of the slot and it clicks pretty firmly into place. It stays in pretty well, actually. On my rifle I've had no problems at all with the BHO being loose. |

Sure, if there's enough demonstrated demand for the nickel boron carrier and other parts we'll definitely bring them to market as an option for our customers. One of our vendors does an excellent job with NiB and a lot of our more discriminating customers demand it on the feed trays of our belt fed rifles, so it's something that we can definitely do. Thanks. As an scr owner, could i ship my bcg to you guys to have it sent out to get NiB coated? Btw, my scr originally came with the 10lb trigger and your (Ares) customer service was really good/fast when installing the 5lb trigger. |

Someone on another forum drew an interesting parallel to an earlier rifle that was also a "traditionalized" EBR:
Leader Dynamics T2/Australian Automatic Arms SAC. Developed in Australia as a potential replacement for the FAL: http://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/australian-automatic-arms-sac/ The standard rifle looked more like a cross between an AR-18 and a G36, same kind of stamped-metal construction as the AR-18, but this sporting variant shown above is basically an AR-18 which has undergone a process similar to that seen on the Saiga and the SCR. Is there a particular technical term for this process of turning a pistol-gripped rifle to a traditionally-stocked rifle, but one that results in pretty much the same number or rounds fired at the same velocity and rate? Here's the "eeeeeeeevil" version for contrast: 
The T2 sorta lives on as the Masterpiece Arms MPAR-556: http://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpar-556-rifle/ Maybe if the SCR and Saiga sell really well in ban states (though I understand the Saiga is already verboten in some), perhaps down the line MA will slap a trad buttstock on this AR-18-type, move the trigger back, and jump in the game?  Though it'll have basically none of the AR modularity the SCR has, so I think Ares is safe there.

Here is my Polytech Hunter...
Got this in a trade recently, going to add a TechSight and optic mount...possibly a muzzle device. Works with standard 30-round AK mags, but I also have a handful of 5-round mags for use during hunting season.

So I'm considering the Millet DMS instead. So all these years of people making low-mount scopes and the AR-15 shooters have to pu them up way high in cantilever mounts to get the right picture... and now that so much of the tactical market revolves around ARs we're stuck trying to figure out how to get irons and optics low enough on things like the SCR. |

I did not get the model with the throw down lever on it as I didn't want or need the illuminated reticle. Perhaps the model with the Throwdown lever may have an issue with low rings but this one does not. I hope that helps. |

I installed the midwest industries M1 Lightweight free float MLok 15" handguard https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1266 It has the Bushnell AR optics 1-4x 24mm sitting on low rings http://www.bushnell.com/tactical/rifle-scopes/ar-optics/1-4x-24mm Raptor charging handle http://www.rainierarms.com/rainier-arms-raptor-ambidextrous-charging-handle-5-56mm Ares bolt catch A pair of no name flip up/offset irons As it sits, shooting xm193, on a bench with just a front rest i was shooting 1/2" groups at 50 yds. I plan to grab some match grade ammo and use a rear bag to see how capable she is. Thats pretty much it. I have an idea for the mag release and if you want to hear it let me know who to email. On another note, i spoke alot with DeLaine and she was very good with communication, and pleasant as well. |

Huh, do folks figure that to use any scope/rings, you have to either have the Monte Carlo or a cheekrest, or do some optics mount low enough that even the non-MC stock would give proper cheekweld? EDIT: also I was checking to see if the Remington 870 Youth stock would fit the SCR, but as I understand it only the 870/1100 stocks for the 12ga frame are compatible with the SCR? Since the Rem 20ga has a smaller/narrower frame, right? So if I want a shorter wooden stock on an SCR, I need to cut down a standard Remington stock? |

So if I want a shorter wooden stock on an SCR, I need to cut down a standard Remington stock? since my scope is mounted on low rings and the buttstock still is not high enough I imagine most rifles would need either the Monte Carlo stock or a cheek riser. Its possible with the standard butt stock and something like a micro red dot that gets mounted directly to the rail that you may be able to get a proper cheek weld. But with any type of optic that gets mounted on rings I don't think the standard stock will give you a proper cheek weld. Additionally, Ares does offer a third stock option which is called the short sporter stock. Obviously mine is this standard sporter stock, and of course they offer the monthly Carlo stock too. For someone who wants a shorter stock the short sporter is the way to go. |

Can't quite figure out what mid-century rifle this vaguely reminds me of... MAS 49? 
There's that whole family of trad-stocked semi-auto rifles coming from like 1940 up until 1960 or so: M1 Garand and M14, FN49, Swedish Ag/m42 Ljungman, French MAS 49, Egyptian Hakim, Czech VZ52, Soviet SVT40, SKS, German G43. I think it's the MAS that the wood-stock SCR reminds me of because of the 2-piece stock. |

The brand on that specific cheek pad is "Fox Tactical" and it has a pouch on one side that can hold a 20-round mag, etc. We only had a few of them and we haven't been able to locate them on the Fox Tactical website to order any more. But, if you google "butt stock pouch" and hit the image button for results, you'll see that there are plenty of them out there with varying degrees of utility and quality. They are a great addition to the ARES SCR and provide a lot of functionality in that you can both store stuff inside them and also pad them up underneath to get a perfect, non-slip cheek weld for your favorite optic/mount combo. |

The rear sight is horrible, I mean really bad, so the TechSight upgrade is necessary. The only other mod will likely be the side optic mount commonly found on many AKs today, then I can put a Primary Arms 1-6x 7.62 ACSS scope on it. |

So far in the thread we've had AR-15s with a traditional stock, and an AR-18 and an AK. Now we just need to find someone making a V-58 with a traditional stock. That'd be awesome.
I'll probably just stick with 5.56mm for simplicity and because I have a good amount stocked up, but the big-bore options (.458, .50) are pretty cool. I actually almost bought an old Ruger Deerfield .44 Mag semi-auto rifle as my DC-legal household gat, but dropped all other ideas when the SCR showed up. While maybe a used Deerfield would be a little cheaper, the versatility of the SCR is what sold me. If work stuff hadn't changed, I might've been the first guy to register one in Washington DC (in DC all firearms have to be individually registered with Metro PD) since I was on the waitlist, but I couldn't buy one because leaving the country, but I understand at least two people (at least one an AR15.com member) have legal SCRs in our nation's capital currently. |

We've been getting steady requests for gas piston compatibility with the ARES SCR, so we're bringing a kit to market that will fall within our patented GXR Gas Piston Retrofit Kit product line and that will readily install in about 10 minutes with no gunsmithing required. The GXR kit is carbine length and is compatible with many handguards including Daniel Defense Gas Piston Omega Rail, Midwest Industries Drop In carbine handguard, Magpul MOE, Diamondhead rail systems, Bravo Company Keymod to name a few.
These will be going on sale within the next 2 weeks. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek from part of an endurance test of the ARES SCR with an ARES Defense GXR gas piston retrofit kit installed for the piston fans in the crowd. Enjoy!

Yes, they should begin shipping by Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week and include a sling swivel that's part of the front sight housing. We'll keep you posted and try to get some pictures up tomorrow that will show mounting details. Thanks. |
