Didn't realize these lowers were now available instead of full gun ($460 shipped via gun broker).  A CT option for those that don't want to pay more for a pre ban?

Anyone try one yet?

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?

Sounds good to me.  I'm leaning toward SKS trunk gun but  also curious to hear what others think about this idea.

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

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.

Sorry!  You are correct. I stand corrected. I got lazy, and just cut and pasted out of another post.

The section of the law that would come into play is:

(E) Any semiautomatic firearm regardless of whether such firearm is listed in subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of this subdivision, and regardless of the date such firearm was produced, that meets the following criteria:

I am in a hurry to go to work right now, and I didn't find it, but I distinctly remember Sbhaven referring to the fact that the new law stated firearms also had to comply with the old AWB, so bayonet lugs and threaded barrels are NG. I believe it is in the amendment that did away with full-featured rimfires.  Sbhaven, help me out here!

I also have a pretty good feeling the state would argue an SCR with a full featured upper would be an AW under this section:

(B) Any of the following specified semiautomatic centerfire rifles, or copies or duplicates thereof with the capability of any such rifles

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:
  • Folding or telescoping stock
  • Any grip of the weapon, including a pistol grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other stock, the use of which would allow an individual to grip the weapon, resulting in any finger on the trigger hand in addition to the trigger finger being directly below any portion of the action of the weapon when firing
  • A forward pistol grip
  • A flash suppressor
  • A grenade launcher or flare launcher
The Ares SCR cannot be a semiautomatic, centerfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the ability to accept more than ten rounds.

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:
  • A folding or telescoping stock
  • A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon
  • A bayonet mount
  • A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
  • A grenade launcher
So if the Ares SCR or any other semiautomatic detachable magazine rifle gets past all that "common sense gun law" language then its legal to; buy, sell, possess, transfer in Connecticut.

Since it doesn't need a traditional AR buffer tube set up, could an ARAK 21 upper work on the SCR?

Yes I am interested in this but have yet to touch one. If my math and assumptions serve me, a scr complete rifle has a 16" barrel and is 37" in oal. That means the lower is 21" and you can throw on a 9" .300 upper on it and rock n roll while flipping the bird to Malloy. Just need to have JoJo's pin on their old muzzle break. Am I missing anything?

That would need an SBR stamp right?

Can anyone have an SBR tax stamp as long as they have a permit or is it just for FFL's and LEO/Military?

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.

So I wonder how long it would take to prove to the ATF that you don't need a COP (no matter what the law says)?  The whole pre-ban needing a COP to SBR it is a concoction of the ATF, so trying to get this to fly may prove interesting.

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.

Yea I was thinking 9" with pined break to get me to the over 30" mark. 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.

Yes even if the overall length is over 30 inches. If the barrel is shorter than 12 inches the idiotic definition of a pistol for CT states its a pistol. We've had this discussion numerous times on the fact that a rifle or any other "firearm" can indeed be a pistol at the same time for the purposes of CT statutes.

The definitions: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_950.htm

(15) “Machine gun” means a weapon of any description, irrespective of size, by whatever name known, loaded or unloaded, from which a number of shots or bullets may be rapidly or automatically discharged from a magazine with one continuous pull of the trigger and includes a submachine gun;

(16) “Rifle” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger;

(17) “Shotgun” means a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shot or a single projectile for each single pull of the trigger;
