Out of the bottom tier AR makers how bad is RRA? I ask this because I have always wanted a Knight Armament SR-47., and I just saw where RRA is bringing out their version of it. It will be called the LAR-47 and it uses AK magazines.

Not trying to start a fight about the quality of RRA, just wondering if this would be a good starting point for a good 7.62x39mm AR15 that uses a correct magazine for feeding this round.

Before I found this site, I bought a RRA 16” carbine. I would never say RRA is anywhere near as good as a BCM, DD, Colt, Noveske, LMT, and my BCM is my go to gun, but I’ve put over 5,000 rounds through my RRA with only 1 ammo related malfunction (crappy ammo). It’s been through multiple classes in multiple weather conditions and has always run great.
Are RRAs tier 1? Definitely not. Would I buy another one? Not with so many better options to choose from. Would I trust my life to mine? Based on it’s track record so far, Yes.
That is only 1 sample size, but I hope it helps a little.
ETA: And I have no experience with their 7.62x39 model. Sorry

Since their standard AR's are mediocre. Why would anyone think that making an AR which is much more difficult in this set up would be good?
I'd stay away from it. And if I wanted 762x39 I would get an AK.

I'm not going to start a hot argument or invite calumnies by stating that RR is an excellent AR. I have one and have seen several others and have seen no reason to question their quality, durability or serviceability. 458 SOCOM is nearing the the top of my "to get" list and it will be a RR.

Didn't U.S. Customs and Border Protection adopt the Rock River as it's standard issue carbine a few years back? I know they had something to that effect in many of their ads for a long time.
I was looking at purchasing one back then. This was back when Bushmaster, Colt, Armalite and Olympic were the big names in AR's. Most of the companies like BCM were not around yet.
I wonder how they got that order.

Nope, that was the DEA. CBP/USBP issues Colt M4A1 carbines.

I hear a lot of people on here say they are shitty, but I have not heard a single person say why.
Seems like there is a lot of regurgitation going on.

Huh?Originally Posted by Wiggity
Might want to do a little more research before you do any more regurgitation of your own...

Not exactly "shitty," but for the same money there are much better options these days.

Why did you just reply with a link that has absolutely nothing on RRA?
Did you even bother to read it before you posted it?
