I have that exact combo (RRA heavy barrel upper/ASA lower) and it fits perfectly and the color is an exact match. It appears as though my ASA upper was made by RRA, although I don't know about earlier ones. It looks identical in every way, including the shallow shelf in the area where an accu wedge is placed. If the guy I bought has another, I'm getting it for my next build, although I won't touch their other stuff.

One minor issue is that RRA purposely makes their takedown lug slightly wider than spec. This is supposedly done to ensure a snug fit, but as many folks can tell you, it can be REAL snug, depending on how close to spec your lower is.

The problems associated with the ASA products, are NOT associated with their lowers. I have shot, owned, and assembled some weapons using ASA stripped lowers. All of them were first class in fit, finish, and function. I wish that I could say that about the rest of the ASA hardware that I have seen. Your going to be fine with the ASA lower. Your resale value is going to take a huge hit, but your weapon will be good to go.

Thanks, gentlemen. I will then go forth and place my order for the RRA upper!

You have the right idea in avoiding ASA uppers like the plague.

I have that combination and it works great. The ASA has a smoother texture than the RRA, but the color is very similar.
