ARES 15 MCR Magazine Belt Fed AR15 Upper
Once again browsing Brownells “New Products” I happened across one of the most interesting and expensive AR-15 UPPER RECEIVERS I have ever seen. The ARES 15 MCR Magazine Belt Fed AR15 Upper Receiver. The ARES 15 MCR Magazine Belt Fed AR15 Upper Receiver is an AR15 upper capable of using standard AR-15 magazines or being belt fed. Did I mention “Full Auto” belt fed?
