All of the other major players are represented even some of the small fry , but there is no RRA forum?

Most likely because they haven't paid to advertise yet.

Rigtheo, "industry partners" get the forum and a banner ad. click on "about us" up top and you can read a little about our advertising. RRA isn't an advertiser, hence no industry forum. On the other hand some of the dealers here sell a LOT of RRA so I guess indirectly the site derives income from RRA, sorta kinda.

RRA used to have a forum here. They rarely answered questions, and unfortunately spent most of what time they did spend deleting threads they didn't like. Then there was the whole "our out-of-spec uppers are really a new version of the Mil-Std 1913 specs that no one else knows about"
 fiasco. Once the SHOT Show happened and they were called on this BS story, they admitted their uppers were out-of-spec, and requested that their forum be removed.In the interim, an Industry Partner program has been created, but that's not why RRA isn't here. Really, they aren't here because they're a small company that has enough trouble meeting market demand without having to have a company rep monitor the forums here, so they don't. They prefer to let their retailers handle the user-level questions (which they generally do VERY well). -Troy P.S., Colt has a forum here because they are Colt; it would be difficult to justify not having COLT on an AR15 website, even though they've never participated. |

I believe (but am not certain) there is some sort of barter arrangement in place with Colt. 5sub |

Well, it helps that I've been here on a nearly daily basis since the site opened, and on the mailing list before that. I know the history of this site well (but I'm far from the only one).

haha, that's cool-it's just anytime there's a not-so-simple to answer question-there you are. you're like "old faithful" or something. i'll read a subject line and be like-"yep troy will be in there"...and there you are!!! just messin' around-i'm excited right now cuz i got the call that my first ar should be in tomorrow. it's an rra tactical entry. it only took 'em 4 weeks and a couple days. that's funny because troy said to double their "in four to five weeks" they told me. that's the first thing i've ever seen troy wrong about-lemme tell ya i'm glad he was. thanks troy for all the info you give us, and i'm sorry for hijacking the thread. it had to do with rra slightly though....

Nobody's going to ask why Olympic doesn't have a forum in the industry section?

because if they took time to follow threads here, it would take even longer for them to get stuff out....
I know some RRA employees are regulars here, and they do answer RRA questions quiet often. |

If I was in the AR manufacturing (or assembling) business, I would damn sure have representation in the Industry Forum. This place, AR15.com, is not only about selling but there is too much good informational feedback to be absent the Indusry Forum.
