If yu see 6.8 on the shelf, grab it. The small quantities I've seen are selling for about 50% over MSRP.
Good luck. Steve/RRA |

You can buy all of the 6.8 ammo you want from Silver State Armory -silver state
All I need now is a RRA 6.8 upper  |

Glad to see you on here.
I buy RRA lowers very regularly to sell in my shop. I've heard nothing but good things from my "build it myself" customers about RRA Lowers and LPK's. I'll continue to purchase through you. |

Just came back from scheels who had 4 boxes of 6.8 on the shelf. I cleared em out. . Picked up a Stripped RRA upper from my favorite gun shop today to begin my 6.8 project. I figure this way I can just swap the uppers onto my RRA lower for whatever I want to use the rifle for and still have the nice fit with both. I still could not find any .458 Socom though. Still the same look when I asked about it. I wonder if this may be a region thing because as popular as that stuff seems, I cannot find it anywhere around here. Does Cor-Bon have a link somewhere so I can see what the different loads are for this ammo? Or any type of link at all? I would like to see what the different loads are. My searches always turn up zilch.

Hit Corbon's web site, then into the online store. It's been awhile since I was there, but I think the 458s are listed with the hunting ammo.

Hi Steve!
Just found the RRA forum here! Neat, thanks for doing it. I'm the pain in the neck that you put the NM float tube in the mid-length for. I think we have talked on the phone before. Cheers, Phil |

Steve,
I just found the forum and like so many other members here, I am very happy to see Rock River Arms participate on Arfcom.  I have 2 of your fine LAR-15 products. Having experienced the quality of your company's products, I will no doubt be a return customer. Thanks for joining our website!Big_Cheese P.S. This may be a dumb question, but is there any chance that RRA might ever have an offering chambered in the .50 Beowulf? |

Hmmmmmmmmm.... A .458 SOCOM upper huh? I asked about the Beowulf chambering mainly because I'm interested in using my LAR-15 for Deer/Bear hunting next season. I want an upper in a chambering suitable to that end. As far as available components are concerned, do you feel that there are more bullet styles available to the SOCOM? There are so many plusses involved with the AR's modular design, that would allow me to tailor one to meet my personal criteria as a big game hunter. There's an opportunity, I believe, with the many new cartridges available to the AR-15 platform to consider promoting it among big game hunters. Maybe RRA could make some special 4-round mags (or limit-type followers) for hunting in states with magazine capacity restrictions? What say you? |

Lots of variety in .458 bullets. In the SOCOM, I've seen everything from 250gr to 600gr. CorBon has three factory loads right now, and there maybe othermakers coming on-line soon.
The SOCOM fits approximately 1:3 to 223 , so a thirty round mag holds approximately 10 rounds, a twenty-round mag hols approximately 7 458s, and a ten round mag holds three or four, depending on the mag. Steve/RRA |

You should always have that sound in an AR-style rifle...it's the buffer moving backwards into the action spring, collapsing the spring to it's collapsed length, and then rebounding forward. The rifle won't function without it. It;s a little more pronounced in a carbine extension than a rifle, but it's always there.

I am looking to get another AR and am looking at the Elite Car A4 and the Elite Car UTE2. Other than the rear sight system, is there a difference bewtween the two rifles? Which do you recomend? I am thinking about getting a Daniel Defense 9.5FSP and a winter trigger guard installed on the rifle. Can this be done at the factory when the order is placed. This will be a duty weapon primarily (Police). Do you recomend the chrome molly barrel or the chrome lined barrel? What is the difference between the standard A2 flash hider and the Smith vortex flash hider?

Only real difference is the upper receiver.
We can certainly install the parts as substitutions (for additional charges, please see our catalog or web site under the specific models) when we build the rifle. You would want to use a DD 9.5FSPM, as either rifle has a mid-length gas system. The A2 flash hider is your basic flash hider used for about twenty years. The Smith Vortex is a very innovative design that is both helically ported and turns gasses in on themselves (if I understand it the way Ron Smith explained it to me), virtually eliminating visible flash from the muzzle.

RRAMODERATOR good to have you here! I am new to the AR scene and have heard nothing but good things about RRA. I am hoping to make a RRA AR as my first purchase when I return from Germany in september. I am intrested in .223 w/ a mid length grip and am wondering about the Elite CAR UTE2 and the Elite CAR A4. I had a chance to hold both @ the local shop. recomendations for a first time AR buyer?

Only real difference is the upper receiver and the mount on the A4. Becomes a matter of personal preference and intended usage. The A4 is more versatile, as you have an entire flat top receiver to work with, including for mounting magnifying optics...but the UTE-2 has a permanent rear sight and works great with red dots and others that use co-witness mounts.
