I'd cancel the order if I were you. It's silly to have to wait that long for a standard AR. Just find one from someone else. Maybe a Charles Daly.
RRA does not use milspec buffer tubes instead they use a cheap Chinese knock off. I have had to replace trigger sets because they failed (most shooters dont know how to use a 2 stage trigger and it makes about as much sense on a battle rifle as teats on a steer so it is wasted on the average shooters).
So do you really think the DEA would put out a white paper advertising this, or that RRA would? Just because I am not going to reveal my sources under any circumstances does not mean they aren't true. But the companies know that I am dead on the money. And those who know me know where I get my info from and what my background is. They also know I bust jibblies of every one of these substandard manufacturers at the trade shows. And they also know that I am happy to slaps some gauges on any of these products and compair them to the mil requirments any time. In most cases I already have they just dont meet the basic standards.
PvtPyle: I have been an armour for several years (military and civilian) and have seen nothing about what your talking about in regard to RRA. I agree the wait is just stupid, but the product is sound. I have access to the .mil documents as well and still have not seen any reports like that. I also work closely with a company that does contract work for military and civilians for overseas jobs and they too have not heard what your talking about (they deal with RRA, Colt, Bushmaster for all AR needs) when they heard about your comments. If your going to come in hear and bash a product, please have proof of your claim or let it go. Don't bash those that doubt you because you brag about your secret squirrel job on the internet. There are a lot of Internet Special Forces Units out there doing the same thing. Look at both sides of the argument and think about which you would believe. A guy claiming to be knowledgable or one who can prove he is. If you are in the know and cannot reviel your sources (due to security concerns) of information, then you should never have even said a word since that is a violation in itself. PM me if you want to discuss further.
No, it has drifted slightly. You ask what my bonafides were and I gave them to you.
You ask what my sources were for my comments, and I gave you some hard facts that you can test yourself, use the manuals and gauges to see for yourself while I gave you some of where I get my info from. And it isn't the trade mags.
I told you where the RRA products were inferior, and I agree. You can ask the end users. Here in the US it is Colt, other countries use the DPMS and BM guns, but the only people thata were using RRA have stopped because of QC issues. Take it or leave it. I gave you the manuals where you could find the correct measurements and specs, I told you what to check to back up my claims that they build and infreior product. The other manufacturers I listed build them as close as they can to MILSPEC and use better components. And there are no companies out there that make MILSPEC AR's for the civilian community. Period. They can't because of the 86 ban. MILSPEC requires select fire. But some come mighty close. Colt is by far the closest.
You ask, I responded. I bet you sell them so you have an emotional and financial stake in this. If they made a product that I thought was of the quality for the dollar, I would still carry them. We did carry them until the started cutting corners. YMMV, but that is just my .02
