The upgrade kit by Ares Defense Systems modifies a Ruger Mark III into an "RCU" in .22 caliber with a barrel extension, wire-frame stock and integrated rail system.

For more information on the RCU, read Tyler's entry on his blog, "This is My Job" on http://www.AmericanRifleman.org

  • Where can you get one? I checked online and gunbroker - NOTHING!

  • Your best bet is probably to contact Ares Defense. You can Google their website, they have a sales e-mail listed. Hope this helps.

  • The lower on the Ruger MK I, II, III's and 22/45 are not the serialized/controlled portion the upper receiver is. The Ares 22RCU is registered as a Long gun. No NFA rules ar violated. This was the issue w/the 1911/Glock carbine conversuions odf some years ago. As the grip frame was the controlled part and after conversionwas technically not supposed to be converted back to handgun form.

  • Actually I was wrong. The tubular receiver is the serialized component so the upper is considered a firearm.

  • Pray tell ARES is a Pistol legal in this config.

  • Wonder what the BATF thinks about changing that RIFLE back to a pistol? HMMMMMMMM? The games that get played legally. I know a TC contender pistol that is turned into a carbine MAY NOT be changed back into a pistol again afterwards. At least legally.

  • Awesome.  I imagine that's great for hunting small game like squirrels.
