Was wanting to know about lead times on complete uppers and if RRA will sell a bolt and barrel separate.

For the 16" barreled models with CAR gas systems, not long at all.
We used to sell bolts by themselves, but haven't had enough to do so for years.

How about an upper with a shorter barrel? Maybe something around 10.5".

We used to do 10.5" uppers...demand was pitifully low and we discontinued the barrel. We still have 14.5" (primarily for the Beast carbines, but can be ordered on either of the CAR uppers as a sub/upgrade. I don't recommend it for a pistol build, but that's just my personal opinion.

Steve,

I was told that RRA is currently making a run of the X1 rifles. Is this correct? I have one on order from Class 3 weapons and was wondering if they might be getting it soon. They made the order in April. I do believe that it was the Tan color. Thanks for any info that you can provide.
