Trying to convince my department to buy Bushy's over Armalite but hearing you guys talk about the RRA's, I might have to rethink this.

Convince me, oh RRA fans and show me the way...

Does RRA make an M-4 version with telestock, 14in barrell and the whole nine yards?

Finally, what is the price differance?

School is in session, the student is seated.....

Id have to ask who is most likely to be arround in the future to warrantee the weapons if the taxpayers are picking up the tab..hard to beat Armalites service and response Bushmaster is right up there to..cant speak for RR dont have one ..Yet
but they are certainly worth consideration ..If I were buying one for just me I wouldnt hesitate to by RR especially if Donny at Sable Co. were involved...give him a call good man for advice as well [email protected]    phone (309) 496-9456

Here goes...Was looking for a nice DCM rifle..Looked at the armalite[cost was a factor here],bushmaster[quality] and Rock River..purchased the lower and DCM upper seperately.This company is GOOD.... quality is great...Have owned three colts...the rock holds its own...THIS THING CAN SHOOT AS WELL..give donnie at sableco a call..or just give the fine lady at Rock River a call...bill

I ordered a 20" stainless freefloated varmit upper and a set of green furniture from Rock River Arms two weeks ago after reading in American Rifleman and here about the good things dealing with this company.  I was told all items were in stock and ready for shipment the following Friday......never received any of the items, credit card has not been charged....sent an e-mail asking if there is a problem with the order.....no response...I really want these items which seem to be a good value...if they were in stock I wonder what has happened....you can't build a business by not following through with an order....I will attempt to give them another chance with a follow-up call but then they will lose my business if the items are not shipped...Bushmaster and DPMS always respond to calls and e-mails...

L&L I ordered an upper about the same time and I waited for awhile. When I called the word I got is that they were building a batch of uppers. I said ok and I waited another week. I called them again and I was told that they would finish one headspace it and test fire and get it shipped the next day. It arrived exactly three days after my second phone call. My point is sgive them a call let them know whats up. they will take care of it. And you will be happy.

Yes,they can be a little slow,but trust me...the product is worth it.They are a small operation and test fire every upper.I am very please with my DCM rifle.Can't wait to smoke the armalites and bushmasters....

I received a reply yesterday that my new upper had been shipped on the 11th.  They stated that they did not have the upper in stock, but it was now built.  I should receive it Monday, will mate it with one of my lowers and hope to test fire it the following weekend.  Hopefully it will live up to expectations.

I own a PWA commando and decided to put a telescoping stock on it and looks and fires great.  I also recommend thermold magazines if you want a reliable mag.  The gun is very very accurate.  I will probably put a trijicon scope on it as well. I recommend it.  It has never let me down.

My experiences with RRA.

Very helpful and knowledgeable sales people.

Shipped the parts I ordered VERY quickly.

Their national Match trigger is well worth the price.

that's all.

I don't own a RR AR15 yet, but it will be my next post-ban purchase. I do have one of their 45's and it is better than anything at anywhere near their price range, and there just can't be any better customer service anywhere. These are great folks to deal with and they believe in quality.

Well, I received my order from Rock River Arms the other day.  With all the articles in American Rifleman lately and elsewhere I was expecting a great product.  I mated it with a Bushmaster lower and the fit was fine, Quality of the 20" stainless varmit upper: The stainless had some machining marks which should have been buffed out, I can live with these, the freefloat tube had what looked like solvent stains?  Could not remove these stains, don't know what they could have got on it while building the upper.  Took the gun out yesterday after cleaning and oiling and mounting a 6x24-50mm scope and ASA mount and Harris bipod.  With no sighting in and an abbrieviated barrel breakin the gun shot sub-MOA with S&B 55gr ammo (brass cass). I was impressed.  I didn't bring much S&B ammo so I switched to South African military ammo, failed to function.  Switched to PMP commercial, failed to function, Hmm?  Went home and cleaned gun.  Bolt was almost impossible to disassemble, tolerances were tighter than any of the other 4 bolts I own.  Took all AR's out today and the RRA upper functioned flawlessly with all ammo.  Had super lubricated the bolt and carrier this time with telflon containing spray lube instead of break-free CLP.

Other AR with titanium DPMS bolt and carrier failed to function.  took out bolt and carrier, cleaned and lubed and still would not fire more than a few rounds at a time. Hmm, thought it was the same problem I had with the other gun. Guess not.  Put an ASA chrome bolt in and gun functioned flawlessly.

One other problem I had with Rock River Arms products.  I purchased a set of green furniture for my Colt 6601 and installed everthing but the pistol grip.  It would not fit the Colt Lower, it was to tight to slip on?  I tried to put it on a Bushy lower, still wouldn't fit? Aren't all pistol grips made to the same dimensions, can't believe it would not fit.  I got out my Dremel and it now fits.  Best little tool I ever bought.  Come on Rock River Arms, your prices are good I admit, but pay a little more attention to detail.    

I'm not positive but I believe someone else is manufacturing the green furniture.  I've come accross other p. grips that have needed adjustments like minor trimming or enlarging of the detent spring hole.  These things happen when dealing with plastics.
