What makes the ARES Line chassis unique in its manufacturing process?
The ARES Line chassis is crafted using advanced composite materials and cutting-edge additive technology, combined with meticulous handcrafted post-processing. This artisanal approach ensures precision, durability, and individuality. Minor cosmetic variations from the handcrafting process add uniqueness without compromising performance.
How should I install or maintain my ARES Line chassis?
Install the chassis using only provided screws and a torque wrench set to 18–20 in/lbs, never exceeding 22 in/lbs, to avoid damage like screw stripping. Use a ball-head S2 H4.0 Allen wrench (6 inches or longer) for most screws, and an S2 H3.0 Allen wrench (flat or ball-end) for picatinny button-head screws. Specific screw sizes depend on the chassis variant (e.g., M5 25mm for rear picatinny, M5 45mm for pistol grip). Avoid cross-threading by installing the pistol grip screw slowly. For exact screw replacements or installation details, contact Nxgarms@spcprotectionsystems.com or call 513-532-2079. Improper installation voids return or replacement eligibility.
Can I purchase additional components for my ARES Line chassis?
Yes, additional components such as picatinny or buffer tube rear stock connections, or Pro, Pro II, or Long forends can be purchased separately. Availability of non-stocked components may extend shipment beyond the standard 2–3 weeks. Check availability or place an order by contacting Nxgarms@spcprotectionsystems.com or calling 513-532-2079.
