Hiring Manufacturer Rep Group for TALO and Western Regions

MELBOURNE, FL - ­ ARES Defense Systems, the country's leading manufacturer of innovative, mission-configurable firearms, parts and accessories is continuing its sales organization expansion throughout 2015 and is looking to hire manufacturer rep groups to cover key distributors and retailers in the TALO and Western regions.

In addition to sharp sales expansion of its well-known premium rifle line MCR® (Mission Configurable Rifle), ARES Defense also introduced its innovative ARES SCR™ (Sport Configurable Rifle) at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis last year which has become a favorite seller for Distributors, Retailers and Box Stores.

The MCR® vastly improves upon the legacy AR-15 family by offering exceptional flexibility for users with its dual-feed capability and quick-change barrel. This flexibility, combined with other unique features allows users to instantly customize the MCR® without tools for virtually any use.



First in its class and setting it apart from other modern sporting rifles, the standard magazine-fed ARES-15 MCR® is upgradeable to a dual-feed design with the purchase and installation of the optional Belt Feed Conversion Kit. The MCR® also features a (3-second) quick-change barrel, which allows users to configure the ARES-15 MCR® in seconds without the aid of tools. Barrels are available in 12.5" and 16" lengths. Furthermore, the MCR® features gas-piston operation that provides greater reliability in extreme conditions, and is cleaner, cooler and more reliable in adverse conditions than the legacy direct-gas system.

The innovative and patented ARES SCRä (Sport Configurable Rifle) is the first of its class of firearms that is not only legal almost anywhere in America, but is the first rifle to successfully combine the traditional lines of a hunting pattern rifle with the modularity of an AR-15 rifle.

The ARES SCR™ blends strength, reliability, accuracy and rugged all-weather characteristics of America's longest serving infantry rifle with the classic lines of an American sporter. Lightweight, accurate and featuring a MIL-STD 1913 flat top upper receiver that accepts most modern optics, the ARES SCR™ is designed to perform under the most demanding field, competitive shooting or tactical conditions. The multi-caliber, modular design permits the operator to instantly change calibers in the field by simply pressing two pins and exchanging one upper receiver assembly for another.

Designed for optimal configuration, the ARES SCR™ accepts most Modern Sporting Rifle accessories and parts including magazines, upper receivers, barrels, bolts, handguards and optics, so it can be easily and effectively reconfigured for each individual shooters' style and activity. Supported by a full line of performance accessories and manufactured of the highest quality aircraft grade alloys by American craftsmen, the

weatherproof and dependable ARES SCR™ will provide a lifetime of accurate shooting pleasure for all Americans.

"ARES Defense has a reputation for designing and manufacturing quality products that bring game-changing capabilities to the table. Our MCR® rifle line has become a favorite choice for experienced tactical shooting professionals who can't gamble with inferior hardware; and they know that they can bet their lives on our products" says Geoffrey Herring, President of ARES Defense. "And when we introduced our ARES SCR™ last year, we knew that we were onto another very successful trajectory with this rifle design too. The product reception in the marketplace has been very strong, not only with consumers in states like New York, New Jersey and other places where pistol-gripped tactical rifles are restricted, but also with folks in states like Texas where they often just prefer traditionally patterned rifles. It's a very handy rifle at 5.7 pounds and is a natural pointer with excellent ergonomics. And it can be put in the camper or car on a road trip with the comfort that you don't have to give up your rights to protect yourself or your family just because of a politician's misguided policy."

This official solicitation for rep groups is now open for groups that currently cover TALO and the Western regions. ARES Defense is dedicated to innovation, technology and quality manufacturing that delivers optimal performance for the shooter, and supports distribution with the tools necessary to move products through the channel.
