| Looking at getting my first AR. Leaning hard towards Rock River My goal is a light weight all around carbine for SHTF,Home defence, plinking {haven fun},and small game,maybe even 3 gun someday. Hears my questions. I think a mid length light weight barrel with a low profile gas block to start. I hear chrome is the way to go but could affect accuracy? Plus the L/W barrels supposedly heat up to quickly? As for a hand guard, I want a free float full length or mid tube; but not sure what to pick.RRA does not have what I would like,V-TAC,except for maybe there half quad. I dont feel full rails are a nesescity for a non combat or full tactical rifle.Plus if it wont make a big difference in accuracy or weight the standard plastic mid hand gaurds look fine to me. All I plan to hang is a light and or vertical grip,maybe a combo like surefire offers.The RRA operator car stock,RRA tactical break or smith vortex seem like good choices. RRA is offering a free upgrade to a chrome bolt carrier group,sounds good also.Does this seem like I''m on the right track . I am planing on a scope and mini red dot setup for sights no irons planed dont want the weight if they will rarly see use.Lastly hoag or ergo grip is there a big difference? Looking for addvice. |

RRA makes good stuff. I'd just buy it with the normal plastic handguards and then try this:
Troy TRX It will extend past your low-pro gas block. Like this:

Like this: http://i27.tinypic.com/2ikdszp.jpg the only issue with this is the fact that RRA does not offer a OR setup yet so you would have to knock off the Front Sight/GB assembly just to put that rail on or almost any 1 pc FF HG... Not a big deal, but if its his first AR then i doubt he will have the tools to do this... |

Get a carbine with iron sights and learn how to use them. Chrome lining in barrel won' t matter either way for what you want, I would get it. Chome bolt carrier is a waste of money Adco sells rra, they will install any handguard you want, if you want one of the tube style with small rails for a light, that will be fine. I would not buy a rifle rra direct, rra charges ridiculous full retail |
