My RRA has problems with British Mil-Surp SS-109, it's been flawless with XM855, XM193, Black Hills 68gr HP, and WWB 40rnd value packs.
The only difference I can tell between the two is the barrel profile.
I am curious about the R4 barrel also, whats the point of it?

Barrel profile
GoRon,
The cutout on a RRA Entry Tactical Carbine R4 barrel (as well as models from other manufacturers) is a copy of the M4 military carbine. The reduced barrel profile forward of the front sight facilitates the attachment of a M203 series 40mm grenade launcher to the carbine.
Here is a link to some information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M203

Having pulled a bunch of 203s off of M4s this week I can tell you that forquidder is exactly right.

so I don't know anything about these types of rifles or the ban, but are these full auto? Someone let me shoot something that resembled these and it was full auto in 9mm. It was cool but ate ammo faster than I could buy it. have fun with those.

The AR-15 is the semi-automatic version of the fully automatic M-16 and other "more than one round fired per trigger pull" guns. The Assault Weapon Ban had nothing to do with fully automatic weapons.
As was just said, the AR15 is the semi-auto cousin of the M-16 family of weapons. Basically, it looks like a fully-automatic weapon, but it is semi-auto only. The "ban" in question was the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which banned the manufacture of guns having certain prohibited features (all mostly cosmetic). Notably, full-auto fire was not banned (as it had been banned for civilian manufacture already in 1989).

I've seen them in a few places, only thing I can figure is that you use them to attach to your clothing or something for quick swapping.

mbs,
That's a MagPul. It's designed to enable the shooter to quickly pull a magazine from a pouch, in order to reload faster. They're intended for combat situations, where seconds really count. Back in the day, when I was on active duty, we used parachute cord, run through the hole in the floorplate and tied off, to do the same thing. The MagPul's tend to make it easier to remove the floorplate when cleaning the mag.

Ahhhh, I see now.
Come to think of it I believe I've seen soldiers wearing vests with the things poking out from the pockets...just never drew the connection for some reason.
Thanks.
(I can finally sleep.)
