Frequently Asked Questions

How do you disassemble the Law Tactical ARIC?

Disassembly begins by removing the rear cup, then relieving spring tension to remove the guide rods and end plate. The bolt carrier group (BCG) is then disassembled using standard AR-15 procedures, removing the firing pin, cam pin, and bolt.

What are the key components to inspect on the Law Tactical ARIC?

Inspect the internal bumpers in the rear cup for cracks or wear, and replace them with their springs if damaged. Check recoil springs for kinks and the JP Enterprises one-piece gas ring for burrs or cracks. Standard bolt lug and extractor inspection also applies.

Does the standard AR-15 gas ring test apply to the Law Tactical ARIC?

No, the standard AR-15 'gas ring check' (vertical gravity test) does not apply to the Law Tactical ARIC. This is due to its unique design featuring a JP Enterprises one-piece gas ring, which invalidates the traditional test.

How is the Law Tactical ARIC reassembled?

Reassembly involves first putting the BCG back together. Then, the dual guide rods and springs are inserted from the front of the carrier. Compress these components to align and secure the end plate back into its proper position.
