Duration: 20:01

The Law Tactical ARIC bolt carrier system is reviewed as a significant upgrade for AR-15s, aiming to add folding stock functionality similar to the SIG MCX. However, testing revealed critical reliability issues, specifically failures to go into battery due to friction when using full magazines. The high cost of the ARIC system, combined with the necessary Law Tactical folder, makes it an expensive proposition. Ultimately, the review concludes that a factory SIG MCX Virtus offers superior reliability and functionality for a similar price.

Quick Summary

The Law Tactical ARIC system aims to add folding stock capability to AR-15s but suffers from significant reliability issues, frequently failing to go into battery due to friction. Field stripping is also more complex than on a SIG MCX, which offers better reliability for a similar cost.
