Well I am finally picking up my rifle this weekend. I a getting a new RRA from a friend of mine who is a FFA and he is giving my a great deal. I know many people look at RRA not holding up to some of the other high end brands but I have a couple friends who shoot them and really like them. Keep in mind this is going to be a range gun mostly. I see my self shooting 1000-2000 rounds a year.

I plan on going to the range and shooting a good bit before I change anything but I have been reading and thought I might change out some parts to make the gun more reliable here was my thoughts for changing a few things out after I shoot it first.

1. Spikes or BCM Bolt carrier group
2. BCM charging Handle
3. mil-spec stock with h1 buffer


Is there any thing else I should do or is this a waste of money?


Thanks

I would leave it alone.  None of the items you list will affect reliability.

You didn't say what type of rifle/carbine, but it it is a carbine the only thing I might consider is a BCM SOPMOD Bolt Upgrade kit...to be kept for spare parts when you need them.

If my BCM charging handle you mean the Gunfighter, it is stronger than a standard CH but most people will never abuse their rifle enough to warrant one.  It will make manipulating the charging handle easier.

Thanks for they reply. It is a carbine length gas system in a 16" barrel. and you assumed correctly about the bcm charging handle.

Thanks for the information.

If you want an upgrade to just help reliability I would buy an enhanced bolt.

If you're looking to put some money into it to make it funner to shoot. I would start with an optic and a upgraded trigger.
