The ARES SCR
I had been thinking about buying a Beretta Rx4 / Benelli MR1 at the ridiculous post import mark up. Cool rifle, truly but I'd never pay the $2k for it that people think they're worth. Then I discover the Ares SCR. 
This is the creator's personal SCR, from what I gather. I don't even live in a ban state. I live in Alaska. I'm certainly not over the AR15, but I've been wanting a traditional stock on a semi auto rifle for a long time, but I refuse to buy a mini14. Never owned one. Im not hating on them, I just don't want one. I just NEEEED one of these. I figure I'll just buy the lower, since they sell them with the bolt for like $500. Anyone else not in a ban state just love this thing? Anyone shot it? does the recoil feel any different? Also post pics if you got em. |

Is it made from gold? Also that doesn't seem very secure. How well does it stay attached? The price is a reflection of it being designed and made in the United States of America, from American materials, by American citizens; -just like all ARES Defense products! Sure, if we outsourced our products to China and other places like many other companies in the AR business do, then our prices would be lower. -But then again so would our quality and that's just not our American style...

I think the prevailing question is, why is the BHO not included, as the vast majority of buyers will want it? I understand that the design of the rear of the lower may prevent the standard aircraft drill operation for the BHO roll pin, hence the modular design, I think some people are just feeling like they are being nickeled and dimed for features that are included on every other lower out there. |

I hope the forum rules don't nix outside linking, as I thought it might be prudent to share a link to our Facebook page (from 9 months ago) which details some of the reasons why the ARES SCR bolt catch is optional. I could copy the text herein but it might be a bit lengthy and wouldn't include the pictures. Everything's done for a reason and it's not all profit driven...

ARES SCR Bolt Catch details All good points, I've read that post previously, it should answer some others' questions here, it just seems that the answer to the rest of these questions would be to include the BHO and the plug in the base kit and let the user decide without having to order a separate component. I'm sure some would also like the option to lock the BHO into the lower with a pin or a set screw to prevent it from falling out during cleaning or when packed up while broken down. You don't want to have to go digging through the bottom of your backpack for a gun part every time 
I hope you take these suggestions as constructive feedback, I love the concept and I'm sure I'll end up with one at some point. |

Yeah you remove the two screws in the buttstock and then remove the "cap" on the buffer tube. It was on there so tight I almost had to use a breaker bar to get it off.
After the cap is off the butt stock just slide off.
ETA: For those interested, you need a 1/8 allen wrench to remove the butt pad, and a 3/4" socket to remove the buffer tube cap. |

@gadgetguy1288,
how well do you like the height of the scope on yours. It looks like you've got it as low as possible. Can you get a decent cheek weld like this? It seems the standard-height AR-15 mount is about 3/4" too high for me. |

@gadgetguy1288 and others who may be considering installing a spacer between the butt stock and receiver,
The ARES SCR recoil system is designed to bottom out the recoil guide rod into the stock tube nut that holds it all together. This approach minimizes the effects of the carrier coming into contact with the inside face of the lower receiver during full recoil. By placing a spacer such as a sling adapter between the receiver and stock, it will space the stock tube nut further out by the thickness of the spacer and the carrier will accordingly end its rearward recoil travel directly onto the inside face of the lower receiver. We can't guarantee what long term effect this alteration may have or any potential damage to the lower as it wasn't designed and intended to be fully loaded in that fashion, but we wanted to inform users of the potential consequences of altering the recoil design in this manner. I'm obliged to say that we don't recommend altering the recoil system that way and at minimum, we would expect finish marring. Otherwise, great looking rifle and thank you for your business! |

Giving this thought because:

Yes, I definitely want a lower. I was slow to like the AR platform because of its setup...all the ergonomic features actually felt odd to me and I still prefer a standard rifle. This might be just the ticket. Gets me a standard style rifle in .223 without getting a mini-14. |

The Mini-6.8 was shortlived and there's no Mini-6.5. There's a brand-new Mini-300, but if you pick that one there's no easy way to change chambering. Not to confuse y'all with the "other Ares", but any thought to offering 80% SCR lowers? For folks who both want privacy and also live behind the Curtain? |

@factionfx The scope works perfectly for me. I am using the Larue Tactical Low rings(I believe they are the 719). They are the perfect height.
@Ares_defense I hadn't thought about that but I guess I'll go ahead and order the IWC QD socket and get that installed, while I am waiting for my BCG to get back from ASA. |

I really don't see this as a gimmick product for ban states, although they have got to be crazy to get a mini-14 over this. Put another way, already in the first year of production we have folks in non-ban states buying these, but how often do you ever see folks in non-ban states buying things like BulletButton, hammerhead grips, those weird bent-angle non-PG stocks, or the Kydex wraps that block your grip? The latter things are all clumsy compromises that people really only use to get around an unpleasant law, while the SCR gets around the law but also has some virtues and appeal of its own. I fully grant, the BulletButton and some of the weird grips have an advantage in that they allow the user to base the rifle on a standard AR-15 receiver, which is cheaper and has way more aftermarket compatibility than the SCR, so those are awkward but not necessarily illogical choices. Just that nobody is using those devices because they actually enjoy their inherent qualities. |

The latter things are all clumsy compromises that people really only use to get around an unpleasant law, while the SCR gets around the law but also has some virtues and appeal of its own. If the first bolded part is in reference to the FRS-15, then it is by no means an awkward compromise. Sure, the first time that I saw it all I could think was "UG-GLY" and the first time that I held it I thought that it was odd. However, after using it for about an hour, it was totally comfortable to handle. The thing is just fine as a tool ... but definitely not pretty. That said, I have been interested in the SCR since before it came out and not just for compliance. There are a lot of interesting rifles that can be built with them, all while maintaining most of the modularity of the original system. Once they are popular enough that companies develop stocks and triggers to swap out, they will add their own bit of modularity. |

You'd probably be stunned if you knew just how many folks in your state (TX) are buying this rifle... But all that Ford vs. Chevy, Right vs. left type stuff notwithstanding, a very large segment of our customer base for the ARES SCR don't live in any ban state, they just prefer traditional stock over pistol grips. Then there are those who travel over the road a lot and they can take the ARES SCR virtually anywhere they go without giving up performance, risking arrest or having to rely on a less capable rifle. DC and NYC to name a few of the cities where these are reportedly sold, kept, and traveled through. And most folks haven't yet figured out a way to drive to the free states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc. without going through New York, New Jersey, Canada, etc. to get there... |

Also, you can move it from rifle to rifle. And on my A2 stocks, it makes them very, very non-slip. I have their small size one on a .44 Mag. lever action with a steel butt-plate, and the slip-on helps make this a sweeter shooter. |

So. Any plans on a .308 version? Would love this for my PA-10. Maybe not enough uniformity but it's nice to dream.

Just kinda pondering the arguments both ways. |

Since the stock is supposedly a modified remington stock has anyone tried the Remington supercell pad to see if its a direct fit? Standing by...not a fan of slip-on pads, and would rather not have to grind a pad down. |

Any word yet on availability of wooden, or other, aftermarket stocks? Any rumbling yet of an aftermarket developing now that the rifle has been out for a year and appears to be selling well? Though given, most aftermarket AR stuff applies without modification, so I suppose it's mostly trigger options, stocks, and a few other small bits that call for a specifically-designed part.
That reminds me, does the SCR use an AR-standard trigger guard? Will aftermarket ones like Magpul just drop right in? |

I would love to see a wood stock as an option for the SCR. Pair that up with a flat-top AR-15 upper with the wood A1 style handguards, and I'll be doing this...

From the pictures in this thread, it appears the trigger guard is integral to the receiver body. It looks more like a conventional (non-AR) trigger guard found on bolt action rifles or shotguns. |
