It seems that both RRA and Springfield Armory colluded with government officials in Illinois to help push more gun control laws for special favor full article is here:

@RRAMODERATOR
I always recommended your products to friends and coworkers. Always thought you were a stand up/innovative company as well. I remember meeting one of your reps at a hunting/outdoor show in Yorkville IL and I was impressed. But now I am just very disappointed at your stance on the matter. I know you are part of this organization and it is not your official response. I will reserve judgment until the official response is given. But I am sad to see you as a party of this none the less. I was saving up for one of your LAR piston carbines but now I feel as if I'll be spending that money elsewhere unless this whole ordeal is cleared up. If this goes south I'll have to tell mentioned friends and family about your competition that respects the 2nd Amendment. I'm pretty sure certain departments wouldn't mind dumping their RRA rifles for DSA. @ mods, I'm not trying to do a call out, but I do want to make my voice heard. |

Hope you aren't holding your breath for an answer.

If memory serves me right they also did a contract with the NYSP Post-SAFE Act. They also won't ship anything to NY gun shops, even compliant barrels, BCG, FCG. They are dead to me.

I look forward to the rest of the details and RRA reply (be it in this thread or any other announcement method) during business hours and sufficient response time is given, before passing judgement.
Though I will gently remind, that a lack of a reply, is a reply. |

Dissapointing. Self preservation over the collective good is the wrong move in my opinion.
I won't support companies that smile at my face while stabbing me in the back. |

It passed by 1 vote.
RRA, you'd better have a good explanation or you can look to enjoying the 1990s S&W treatment. Awaiting a response. |

I was looking at another stripped upper from you guys but now I'm not so sure.

Mods need to lock this thread,, everyone knows RRA is probably already bankrupt with their failing business,,, go after the company that could actually hurt sales (Springfield Armory) I dont think their are any sales in RRA to take away from.

Interesting indeed.
I believe they (RRA / Springfield) are at the NRA convention right now. I doubt they are looking at the forum much right now. The show runs through Sunday. The article shows they donated to the IFMA in 2014. Anything since then? What was the IFMA lobbying for in 2014? This? (I have no idea how lobbying really works, so I don't know if 3 years is what it takes for a bill, or if 3 years would be ancient history.) Tagging for an answer. |

SA and RRA will not be getting my money anymore. I have 3 rifles/uppers and ton of the triggers. Very disappointing that traitors still are among us.

I bet the owner is probably biding time so he can concoct a lie to tell those of us in the community for their bad mistakes, but I am willing to hear them out.

Not good enough. If you even get a whiff of your company's name being tied to something like this you better get a press release out immediately explaining the situation. My 2 RRA lowers will be sold and there will be no future purchases.

wow, very disappointing.

I propose they change their name to Sell you down the river arms.
I haven't bought any of their shit in the past, and won't be in the future. Springfield is dead to me too. Oh and fuck the State of Illinois. |

To be quite honest I don't think I've seen anyone I know even buy anything from them since probably 2007. So nothing will really change for me or anyone I know.
