RRA 40cal carbine

[MiggyE]

Hello guys! While surfing this morning, i found out that RRA had just rolled out a 40cal carbine system, as well as an upper. has anyone tried this? is it any good? after all, the only other 40 around is an Oly.

I know nothing about them. But you have just peaked my interest.

The local IDPA club only allows pistol caliber carbines in their matches. So I am excited to hear what others have to say about these.

Someone should order one of these. Then *next* January we can discuss when it might actually be delivered.

wish it could be that easy here, but the local distributor of RRA is in hot water with the local cops and the Dept. of Def. seems like one of the M4s he was supposed to have in his warehouse ended up in the hands of a known felon wanted for 2 murders. the guy ended up using in on two federal agents sent to arrest him.
now, all RRA importation is on hold! but this product shows lots of promise

Quick question. Wouldn't the lowers need some kind of .40 S&W hammer and a .40 buffer or something? Just like the 9mm.

from what i know, that's a correct assumption

I've been looking at these ever since SHOT show. I would like to get one of the uppers to pair with you my Lone Wolf R&D 9G lower. Then I could use Glock 22 mags.

I wonder what kind of "thump" you would get from the .40 S&W cartridge out of a 16" barrel?!

Just completed my Oly 40SW AR-15 pistol.

And they will have 40SW magazines in two months. 9mm mags now for sale.

Olympic Arms is a different company now from 10 years ago. I've been able to by a 10mm rifle, 40SW AR-15 pistol and the parts I need to complete my 45 ACP upper.

If you are really looking for a 40SW rifle, Oly wants your business and they are coming out with these:

I am not the biggest OLY fan, but that looks pretty cool~!
