i have a rock river upper on a bushmaster lower. i have been very satisfied with fit, finish, accuracy and reliability. i have another upper on the way from them that will finish out an all rock river build and i'll try to remember to post a review when i get it but it could be a while.
 
Pass on the RRA

I bought an RRA and wish I didn't. Immediately after you buy one it will depreciate $100.

Save $100 and buy a Complete STAG lower and STAG Upper, slap them together. Total price = $750.

STAG is made by CMT, who makes RRA.

www.eaglefirearms.net

If you buy the complete upper and lower separate you save the 11% excise tax, and thus about $100.

Good shopping, and avoid Bushmaster as well, their QC is crap.

Do a search here and on Arfcom. Maybe a negative here and there but there are many, many happy RRA owners including myself. I've heard good things about Stag myself but that RRA is a little more "pick of the litter" and I'm not sure if they have the same warranty as RRA.
 
The only problem with RRA rifles is the WAIT. nobody ever seems to have stock.
 
Hey Loadammo,

I believe that you would have the same problem even if you bought a Stag. You're going to lose the value of the gun once you shot it. The best advice about buying is to do your research and find the best price.

I have a RRA Entry Tactical. I have no regrets about buying it. Not many rounds down range, but I've never had any problems.

I was lucky. It only took 3 weeks for my delivery.

Be prepare to be overwhelm with information.
 
i've got two right now. both are outstanding. one's a NM and the other is unique. (i assembled out of RRA parts)
 
I really like Rock River. We completed our RRA group buy, and shipped all of the rifles, and I haven't had a complaint from anybody.
 
my fiance has a stag l/h m4 upper on an armalite lower quality seems to be on par with the rock river. i wouldn't say either one or the other is definitely better.
 
I'm leaning towards an Elite CAR A4. Anyone have one or have shot one?

I have a few thousand rounds through mine. It doesn't like British mil-surp (Radway Green). It has failures to extract with this ammo.

XM193, XM855PD and Winchester White Box 40 round value packs all have worked flawlessly, as in zero issues.

I had a little costumer service issue that was resolved eventually, growing pains combined with a pain in the a@@ costumer:evil: .

All in all I love my RRA.

I recently built a mid-length carbine from all RRA components, some of which I bought at Coal Creek Armory, and some of which I mail ordered, both RRA direct, and through Pete at Legal Transfers. (Yes, I could have just bought a complete rifle, but I wanted to put one together, and RRA had all the features I wanted.) I knew there were lighter barrels available, but I opted for the 16" stainless heavy "match" barrel, because I wanted to try the 1x8" twist, and the .223 Wylde chamber, and I knew the extra weight wouldn't bother me much, especially with the A2 buttstock I'd be using (the first decision I made for the build). I also opted for the RRA Dominator Eotech Mount, which is an Eotech-specific riser with an integrated A2 rear sight. The only non-RRA parts on it are a YHM Phantom flash suppressor, and a Magpul MIAD pistol grip. All the parts are very nice, as AR parts go, and, though it annoyed me to wait 9 weeks for the stainless barrel, I'm very pleased with the assembled rifle. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but I like the quality of parts, and the configuration of the build so much (heavy barrel included), that I went ahead and disassembled it, sand blasted the stainless barrel, and coated nearly every part with a thermally cured ceramic finish - major components in matte black, and small parts in matte gray. Thus, a very nice rifle now looks even nicer. I can't wait to get it to a range.
 
RRA elite car

just got mine yesterday via trade of my smith and wesson mp15a..I'm not an expert on AR but after shooting my new RRA i have to say it feels better than my MP15a..

I have a RRA NM A2 with >1000 rounds through it. The trigger breaks cleanly, it's never had a jam or a failure to fire, and (for me) it's scary accurate. I'm sure there are better ARs available, but for the money I've been very pleased. I'd buy another without hesitation.

I got mine through "Ton80" at www.gunbroker.com ; he was great to deal with and seemed to have good levels of inventory at a time when many other dealers were out of RRA product.

Hope this helps,

PG
 
I have a RRA 20" varmint that i put a super sniper scope on with badger rings, I pla on putting a hogue grip on it and changing the buttstock on it but other than that its damn near perfect, 100 meters, prone, bipod firing as fast as i could get back on target, all 30 rounds, 3" group, with cheap wally world ammo, works for me.
 
I think with the constant reminders to "use the search button", new members often will post in a thread that has the same topic as their questions or concerns rather than make a new thread.
 
The wife and I absolutely LOVE our RRA Entry Tactical .223,we havent shot it that much yet but planning on trying a little distance/accuracy firing with it in the next few weeks!
