Product Description
Zeus Arms ARES Pistol 5.56/.223 11.5"
Our ARES Series is made to go toe to toe with the BIG Manufacturers. While we believe some of our less expensive firearms 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, Magpul furniture, 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.
