Hello All,
I am leaning towards the purchase of a new RR Arms Standard A2 (obviously 20 inch barrel and not 16 inch). Thoughts in my head for this particular maker and model are as follows….
- RR quality per price is second to none from what I have found in my investigation this year.
- I already own a very handy AK-47 with 16 inch barrel and front handle that I could consider my close quarters weapon. In my purchase of the 20 inch barrel RR Arms Standard A2, I see it as my 100+ yard field long rifle, if that makes any sense. And hey, I can always get a 16 inch AR down the road if I need be.
- The 20 inch barrel will help increase fps to aid in fragmentation at longer distances on average compared to 16 inch barrel from what I have read.
- The 20 inch barrel will help in accurate shots at farther distances ( 100+ yards) on average compared to 16 inch barrel from what I have read.
- handled both 16 and 20 inch and both felt good, 20 inch felt a bit better since I have long arms
Any thoughts or comments about the above would be appreciated. Would not mind someone trying to convince me differently about the above or have me think about some other points that I have not thought of yet.
Also, I have some questions that I need help answering…..
- “223 Wylde Chamber” can handle .223 and 5.56, right? Anything it can not handle?
- the default barrel is “Chrome-Moly” with 1:9 twist, can pay $65 more for “Stainless Steel: with 1:8 twist. Should I stick with the Chrome-Moly or get the Stainless Steel? What are the pros and cons from material and twists? From what I have read the Chrome-Moly can soak up a little moisture and the Stainless Steel will not, but not sure.
- were is the best place to buy the RR gun, online from their website or somewhere else?
Thanks much for your time and info, I appreciate it.
