I, like some many others want to buy some basic parts like BCG's for backup but Rock River does not sell parts for their guns. They are getting a lot like Sig Saur selling guns but not letting customers buy any parts for spares. What gives. This may be why a lot of gun shops in my area aren't selling many of them. My favorite LGS said they have a few and will not be ordering any more. Not selling.
A few years ago I could go to any gun shop in my area and they has walls of Black Rifles and most were Rock River. Now they still have lots of black rifles but very few Rock Rivers on the wall. |

We will.
On a model like the LAR-47, the unique parts are just that...unique. They are not the same as other 7.62x39-specific parts for another company's product any more than that company's proprietary parts are interchangeable with even more manufacturer's non-standard components.. Our primary concern is safety. While you may only want the parts as spares for your LAR-47, which we are fine with, we have others who do not have LAR-47s and want to buy parts to try to "hybrid" builds with LAR-47 parts along with parts from any number of other suppliers...most of which will not work with one another. Sometimes they won't fit together and the rifle can't be fired. That's a best case scenario. Sometimes they will fit together but the resulting rifle is unsafe to fire, but they'll try it anyway. The way that works in America today is that it doesn't matter if we had no idea that they had no idea what they were doing, even though we warned them in writing etc...our selling them some of the parts that they used in a rifle that they assembled and which catastrophically failed omehow makes each and every manufacturer which sold them parts civilly liable for their injury, maiming, and/or death. There is a balance that has to be struck between customer service, customer safety, and mitigation of risk. We're working on all three, and when that balance is achieved, we'll make just about everything available. Thanks. Steve/RRA |

| Total BS, I called today and still get the same BS from Rock River. No parts available for the LAR 47. Got screwed by Rock River and will never buy another. The real strange thing in my area is that two of the biggest gun shops in my area used to both be big Rock River dealers. Now they only carry a few 5.56 carbines and they both told me they are not going to be carrying RR much longer. |

What parts are you looking for?, Receivers are probably out. Just about everything else (there aren't that many LAR-47 specific parts...most are standard AR) CAN be made available, but aren't being posted for general sale. Of the specific parts, most will only work with an LAR-47, so if you do have one, we're not averse to selling you the means of maintaining it.
If you want to shoot me an e-mail ([email protected]) I can see what I can do. Steve/RRA |
