    I'm glad someone else mentioned the car thing, because I used to use that example all the time when I worked in a gun shop. A customer would come in and flat insist on one make/model of gun because his brother's wife's cousin was a cop and he had one. I always asked to see their Crown Vic parked outside and they never got the joke.

    Did they mention what makes the RRA better? Not knocking RRA, but a Colt they are not...

    I like the patrol car analogy......very good!

    Yes.
    1:Fit and finish is much better therefore the quality is also.
    2:The DEA buys only the best.
    3:No malfunctions ever.






    Don't get me wrong.... I am in no-way knocking RRA. They are what they are.

    But this group of guys are not what one would consider to be "average".
    Most have military backgrounds with excellent "real" credentials.
    That's why I'm "baffled". These are not guys who never held a gun until they were in the service or became LEO. These are guys who grew up hunting and shooting.
    Hope/Pray for the best, be prepared for the worst... but when the ball drops... go barbarian.

    They probably went with RRAs because Rock River could deliver them in a reasonable time frame and they were significantly cheaper than Colt. The DEA contract really brought RRA to the mainstream, after that people began thinking they're 'just-as-good-as' Colt.

    With a few tweaks here and there a RRA can be a damn good rifle for 99% of the people out there.

    Hunter, shooter, .mil service, LEO are not good indicators that someone knows what they are talking about when it comes to AR's.

    Most idiotic stupidity re: AR's I've heard has been from cops and guys who were in the Army.

    That being said, the guys I've talked to who have known the most about the platform have also been LEO's and .mil ~ however they were serious end-users.

    Rob- I like that one! That's much easier than explaining it but I'm sure with these rockheads you WOULD have to explain it if you wanted them to understand...

    As someone else put it... Fit and finish is what people talk about, when they have nothing else to talk about.

    LMAO

    3:No malfunctions ever.
    Safe dwellers, then.

    I've seen a bunch of Rock Rivers defecate upon the sheets.

    And every gun will malfunction, eventually, when used enough.

    These are not guys who never held a gun until they were in the service or became LEO. These are guys who grew up hunting and shooting.
    Some of the worst guns and ammo advice I've ever heard was from folks that "grew up hunting and shooting." With some exceptions, the only things they had of use were their bad examples, where to find game, a few hunting tricks, good recipes, and help carrying/loading/butchering.
