Ares-22RCU

It never fails, when I'm least expecting it something interesting comes across my desk. When I worked in retail, one of the best selling semi-auto handguns in .22LR was the Ruger MK series. They’re reliable, and they look and shoot great. 


Ever hear of a company called Ares Defense Systems? Yeah, I hadn’t either until today, but after seeing one of their products I'm definitely going to get to know them. They make an upper receiver assembly for your Ruger MK-1, MK-II, MK-III or 22/45 pistols.  Basically, it turns your handgun into a sweet little carbine, the Ares-22RCU, with a full tac-rail and comfortable grip. This thing is a neat little plinker. Watch me prove my point here.


I went on their Web site and looked for more info on the gun, but the only thing I came up with were big red bold letters saying, “Coming Soon.” I’m not sure what the retail price is, but the fun you can have with this gun is priceless. When I get some more information about the company and the conversion kit, I’ll let you know. 


This is my Job

You have to be kidding. Do a Google search on "Shrike" and see how he has deposits for nearly 10 years on these things and has only released a handful. You will find some good things about some of his products by Geoff's character (the owner of Ares) isn't one of them.

James, the optic is the Trijicon RMR. Check out this link http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009/01/18/trijicon-rmr-ruggedized-miniature-reflex/

Tyler, What type of optics are you using on that setup in the youtube link? It looks like a Docter or Burris fastfire with some sort of specialized mount. Thanks.
