The Sig MCX Virtus is the latest and greatest in rifle designs so it only stands to reason that companies will attempt to copy the MCX’s success by copying the recipe and dropping it into the AR15. But does the Law Tactical ARIC compete with the Sig MCX in terms of quality of design and function? We take a close look at the ARIC and offer our opinion.

  1. Everyone, it takes a while for the videos to appear on Rumble. The first to appear will be this edited video because it's automatically mirroring on Rumble. Later the unedited version will be uploaded, processed and then will appear later in the day. Thank you!

  2. It is not just a matter of spring tension. That design greatly reduces the mass and inertia of the bolt carrier. Also it eliminates any buffer, which would add more mass to help slam the bolt carrier forward. Crazy!

  3. That's actually incorrect sir when it comes to the use of a folding stock. When the marines were in the middle east and going house to house they would shoulder their m16 and twist the rifle sideways with the butt of the gun hanging from behind their neck. They'd have that rifle pulled so far back and the gun stock resting sideways on their shoulder using only the front sight at the end of the barrel because you couldn't even use the rear sights. They have short barrel 'pistol' rifles now so I imagine that changes things. I got this info watching another Youtuber that served back when the marines had to reuse a lot of stuff after the Clinton Military Spending cuts.

  4. Update #2:

    For the 14.5 home defense AR with ARIC-I bolt carrier, I lubricated the bolt carrier per the brownells instruction video, cleaned the chamber. Did not have any failures to lock back but this was with 5 rounds loaded in mag for zeroing purposes. This was with 55 gr FMJ ammo. I had also removed the prior buffer spring and capture rod thingy that got left behind. I was able to chamber the OneStrike frangible ammo for home defense and the bolt seated properly, although I pretty much just let it be after I chambered the OneStrike, I didnt eject the round and mag and try again. That being said, yesterday when I did not remove the vestigial buffer spring and capture rod and I did not have any failures for the bolt to seat, but I did have lots of failures to lock open on empty.

    I tested the 10.5 ADM with ARIC-M with an enlarged gas port to allow for unsuppressed use. This one I also lubricated per the brownells instruction video and removed the vestigial buffer spring and capture rod and cleaned the chamber. No issues seating the bolt or locking open on empty, but this was only with 5 rounds in the magazine for zeroing purposes.

    Bottom line – you have to lubricate the bolt carrier and clean the chamber like LAW tactical tells you to do. It isn't quite plug and play like a standard AR bolt carrier that's decently made. Sure, you should be cleaning your guns regardless, but I don't think I was ever told to lubricate a standard AR bolt carrier to allow it to break in (not military or LEO)

  5. I feel like it says something that my initial reaction on seeing the title card was, "What the hell is that thing?"

    Who even is this for?

    I guess it could be "fixed" by replacing the factory recoil springs with slightly stiffer ones, but….

  6. Everyone just wants a bufflerless operating system these days. Frankly if stoner were to design a gun today with the needs for a compact gun he would most likely figure out a way to make the system buffer less.

  7. I really don't see the purpose of this product. The reason the MCX is good is that it's a slight (VERY slight) upgrade over the AR in every way. It's slightly lighter, slightly easier to take down, slightly more reliable in that it tends to have less malfunctions (primarily around the extraction and cycling). The only real major advantage it has that sets it apart from just being an ar is that when shot suppressed, it doesn't blast you with gas. But this law system is still a DI system, but with some extra stuff in there that makes the disassembly more of a pain. This seems like a downgrade, even if it didn't have the chambering issue. it's still just a worse AR rather than a better one.
