Zeus Arms ARES Rifle 5.56/.223 16"
Our ARES Series is made to go toe to toe with the BIG Manufacturers. While we believe some of our less expensive rifles out perform many of the big name brands the ARES series was built to mimic some of the top AR's in the industry and proving you can build the same gun at a cheaper price when your not paying for the name behind all of the advertising. This series features a Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, Competition Drop in Trigger, Billet Receiver Set, Full Magpul furniture and vertical grip, Ambi Safety, Curved trigger guard, Lightweight QD Compatible End Plate, and an Extended Flash Hider for increased Performance. We built this gun to prove we can be $500 cheaper and better than the top guns in the industry. This gun holds the Nickname "DDK" in our shop... We will let you use your imagination for what it stands for.
