I have a question. I have a rra std a2 that I love. I now have a RRA lower that I am going to build up w/ a parts kit. I look around through snotgun news at all of the AR parts kits ads.
.. It seems to me that MANY of the parts kits are EXACTLY what is sold as complete rifles by a few compaines, specifically RRA!!!
Example: M&A parts ad, ALL of their 9mm upper stuff is the SAME AD as RRA!!! It is the same font! Same ad placement!!!
Example 2: Dalphon pistol caliber upper vs Olympic pistol caliber upper... same dang thing!
Example 3: I called RRA and ordered 2 empty lower receivers. "There is a 3 wk wait. They are currently out of stock"... WTF? Cast or forge more! (Ahhh,,, they DON'T roll their own!)
MANY compaines use "Wilson barrels". Who is wilson? Not wilson combat, I presume.
I'm not sure where I am going with this. It just seems like any "Brand loyalty" is loyalty to an assembly plant anymore.
Eagle arms is a company that bought the Armalite name and all the recigonition that comes with it. Now it sells Eagle arms ar's as a bargain rifle...
RRA, that has incredible quality, fit, accurtacy, and finish, seems to be an assembly plant. I am investigating whether or not their 2 stage trigger is their own or another aftermarket goodie...
