I am sold on RRA, my entire collection is RRA, I have shot or handled most of the other rifles and they are all great, I just do not see a step change in the difference...JMO We are comparing Chevy to Ford to Dodge, to each his own, there are pros and cons of each....All I can say is my RRA's have never failed me, never jamed, never mis-fed, thousands of rounds thru them... My 16" Varmint wil shoot 1 MOA all day long and I am not a good shot.... 77 |
| I had a Smith and wesson MP15T, but it was an early one and had all kinds of issues, FTE, FTF, turns out the gas tube was completely loose. Well I traded it in for a RRA LAR15 Entry Tactical and couldnt be happier. Went to the range and 300 rounds without a hicup. Very well put together and had an excellent shot group. I am totally a RRA lover now. ANd it accepts PMAG's. Love it. |
| I'm a little biased living 10 miles from Colona, IL. (and 10 miles from Milan, IL - Lewis Machine and Tool), but I have found that RRA is right up there with everyone else. There are some nasty rumors out there right now (that RRA is so busy counting money that they aren't paying their suppliers, etc.), but the quality remains mil-spec and the DEA contract still has a few years left in it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another, and will probably be ordering - at least - a varmint upper sometime soon. |
90% of stats are made up! =) I had to throw that in there as an RRA owner!

RRA is GTG. So is just about every other brand name you recognize. They all have some mass production quirks. Not every rifle from any manufacturer is perfect. Some have procedures that minimize the number of defects. Some are small shops where every rifle is personally inspected by a really smart guy. If you want a rifle that will work right out of the box, buy it from a qualified AR guy who can give it a good once-over to make sure everything is in order. Try PK Firearms for RRA and ask him to inspect it for you. There are only a few that are REALLY noticeably better than RRA, and they're a few hundos more. |

got my first ar15. I was choosing btween these..... bushmaster RRA stag m&p sabre I went with the RRA. I love it. Now I just got to get a scope. I was shooting it a lil over 100yds with iron sites and nailing the bullseye every shot. I am blind as a bat too. I love it!!!! |
| Call Pete @ Legal Transfers. My second AR was a RRA from him and it is GREAT. He will tell you everything you need to know (even if is means that he loses the sell). You will not regret making the call. Pete @ Legal Transfers |

When I install a RRA upper to a RRA lower, I really enjoy it....front pin first, hammer back, generous amount of Mobil 1 grease on the back lug, rubber hammer with cloth pad and tap, tap, tap, until the fit is there....and they stay that way after many, many rounds, tight fit.... Like I said before, that is all I have in my collection....including 1911's... If I were to deviate from RRA, I would more than likely go with a LMT or one of the outstanding JP's....I would like to get a HK416, but cannot find them |
