Noveske Project Ares rifle - $2800 shipped Sold
More Pics
I am parting with a very rare Noveske Project Ares — the only Noveske factory rifle to use a Knights Armament rail and one of last rifles released while John was still alive. I emailed Noveske about some original build info since it's missing the original signed/dated certificate these came with, and learned this rifle was completed by them on 12/12/2011 and the barrel serial # matches their records for the original build.
Original rifle specs:
14.5” 1:7” mid-length gas stainless barrel w/ Mod 0 5.56 match chamber
AAC 51t blackout pinned to 16” non-NFA length
Gas block is pinned & barrel has black KG gunkote finish
KAC URX2 rifle length rail w/ integral front sight
KAC micro 600m rear sight
Noveske-marked Vltor upper
Noveske forged Gen 2 lower
Geissele SSA-E trigger
Noveske qd endplate
This is a gen 1 Project Ares rifle which uses a forged gen 2 lower receiver. The rifle has ~400 rounds through it per the original owner and is original except for the following parts — charging handle changed from Noveske/Vltor raptor to PRI gasbuster, stock changed from B5 Sopmod to Magpul STR and grip changed from Magpul MIAD to Tangodown BG-16. I have fired exactly one magazine through the rifle since I bought it and am the one who swapped out the parts, except for the stock. The rifle is in great condition, mostly showing just normal light wear from use and safe storage. The only notable cosmetic flaw worth mentioning, not from normal use, is where the previous owner tightened down some unnecessary screws in the sides of the KAC rail, leaving marks in the finish of the counterbores for screw heads in the rail (pictured).
Make sure your FFL will accept a shipment from an individual, otherwise you will need to cover the cost to have it shipped from an FFL on my end.
USPS money orders preferred, but I can also do discreet PayPal friends & family. The rifle will be sent via shipmygun.com w/ full value insurance.
