Well, after reading many of the posts on this forum and traveling all over Houston handling different guns, I walked out of the door with a RRA Entry Tactical. Personally, I was very impressed with how tight everything felt and the finish of the gun itself. Also, I was kind of surprised at how loose many of the more popular brands were. I am sure they are great guns as evident from reading this forum but just didn't have that solid feel for me. The only problem is that now I have been afflicted with "the disease"! I find myself surfing the internet for what others have done and recommended. I have been shooting it open sights but am quite certain that I will be adding optics to it very soon (between the Aimpoint T-1 and the new Vortex when/if it arrives in July). Also, the Commander in Chief (AKA my wife) has given the green light for a .458 Socom upper. So I may have to try and get one of those prior to hunting season! Any how, I just wanted to say hi and thank you for posting all of the helpful topics. I look forward to being a member of this forum. |
No "porn" yet! houldn Right now it is 100% stock with the tactical carry handle. I am having a blast with it just the way it is but I am sure it won't be long before I start "tweaking" it. I have seen where a lot of the guys are having to wait a long time to receive their RRA guns. While that is unfortunate, the wait will be worth it. I really didn't expect to see much of a difference in construction between each brand when I set out to find a black gun but I was wrong! These guns definitely had the best feel in my hands compared to the Bushys, S&Ws, Stag, DPMS, Remington, and a few others. I actually thought that I wanted a Bushmaster until I had it and the RRA in my hands together. It was an easy decision at that point. |
makes it even more encouraging while i wait :) im one week 3 of... who knows. lol. but you got bare stock the way your talking. I decided to get every option i would want, becuase. it would cost me more in gunsmithing in the future to change front sights, hand guard, etc. when i could just pay RRA to it the first time, dont ahevt to worry about a jack leg gunsmith effin my gun up, and its ALL under WARRENTY :) my entry tactical will be 1:9 lightweight (really gov't profile...) chrome lined barrel, CAA tactical stock, ergo grip, ARMS #40L flip rear sight, RRA flip front, Vortex flash hider, and quad rail. Its gonna be sweeeeeeeeeeet. Ill top it with a EO tech in the near future after i get it, and a CAA FGA (flashlight grip adapter). get some pics, now! |
but it shouldn't be long!

Yeah, I ordered mine chrome lined, with the quad rail, and the winter trigger guard. Plus, because I'm in NY, I have to have a muzzle brake permanently attached so I ordered the tactical muzzle brake. Also, no bayonet lug, and a fixed stock. Think I'm gonna get a magpul ctr and permanently pin it once I get the rifle. I've already got a MIAD grip, a Troy BUIS, and a LaRue FUG here waiting, and I just ordered a Larue offset light mount for my Surefire. Hurry up with those pics! LoL. |

Yea I think that RRA definitely makes some of the best AR's out there. I bought an Entry Tactical about 2 years ago and havent any problems with it at all plus their prices are more reasonable that other maufacturers. Bought it stock new at CALIBERS w/ chrome lined barrel, ergo grip. Finally Got a CTR stock & MIAD grip MI quad rail w/ Aimpoint Comp M2- It definitley is an "addiction" Congrats on the purchase! |
