Got a screamin deal on a RRA today...

[nationwide]

At the gunshow today, one of the local dealers had a stack of Rock River AR's cheap.

I got this 16" A4, for $695 OTD. MSRP is around $950 according to the Rock River site.

I immediately added the following goodies:

Aimpoint CompM2 4moa, Magpul CTR, Swan Sleeve with BUIS (medium lentgh).

I'm going to add a Magpul MIAD grip and trigger guard when I can get one.

Good deal, but that a Magpul CTR, not UBR.

Check the gas key staking.
Adjust as necessary.
Upgrade the extractor spring to a wolf and use a black extractor spring insert.

Is that a chrome-lined barrel version?

If so, I actually think that $700 is right about where the RRAs (and Bushmasters actually too) SHOULD be priced. I would suggest them to people all day long at that price.

I checked the gas key pretty much out of habit when we were doing the 4473...

Thanks for the reminder on the extractor spring. I need to order some from Brownell's... But I have some #60 o-rings floating around, I'll throw one in for now.

Nah, Wilson chrome-moly barrel.

I noticed that a vendor was selling Olympics for $699... +tax. I laughed, and I don't think I was quiet about it either. Knowing what I know now, I would have never bought my Oly... but they were new to the dealer, and he knew I shot... so he gave me the gun for like $725 (during the ban, when prices were a bit higher) and told me he'd throw in a "money back" guarantee... All I have left from that gun is the lower, which is my out of spec registered SBR lower :rolleyes:

ETA: There were lot's of Colt's at the show (Big Town in Mesquite, TX), in both LEO branded and plain Jane variety... all starting around $1050...

I totally agree Rob. They should be priced around $700 as that would be a fair price for what you get.

The bigtown Gun show was alright this past weekend. I picked up a smoke grenade for 40 bucks and a few glock mags.

GREAT DEAL ON the RRA though.

Sure did! Although for a manual, they ship the USGI one! :eek:

Ok, changed my optics around and picked up some new magpul furniture at the fun show today. It's nice having them so often here! :D

I've been looking at lots of Mk18 Mod 0 pics lately, so I put the Aimpoint in a Midwest Industries standard mount on my SBR, and move the Eotech to the Rock River...
