Rock River experiences?

[Texas Solo]

I've decided to get a 6.8 SPC upper for my Colt lower. Other than a custom build, Rock River is the only manufacturer that offers what I'm looking for and in my price range.
The RR complete upper, with additional charge for free float tube = $660.

Can anyone share their experience with Rock River? Quality, accuracy, customer service?

I bought the r3 almost a year ago. RRA costomer service was great from a dealer standpoint. Very friendly and easy to get a hold of. I have no complaints of the rifle.

Will know about the shooting later this week when predator gets here, their CS was very good and quick shipping. Been sitting on the fence too long, glad I got something put together off the shelf. (Field and Stream has interesting online pictures/article about RRA).

I have been real happy with the RR's that I have shot. Really like the RR 2 stage match trigger. Expect MOA or slightly better with good ammo. With American Eagle FMJ ammo expect MOA or slightly worse.

My experience was is like everyone else's, very positive. Quality was great and accuracy was superb. Both of these are 5 shots at 100 yrds out of a 24" Varminter model. It is hard to find a better AR especially in that price range. These were 55 grn BTs out of a 1:8 twist.

As long a you're getting something that is actually in stock, you should be good to go. If something is out of stock, or a new product, their published wait times are usually about 20% of reality. I've had good experiences with their customer service, and the quality is very good.

Read the barrels don't need break-in, haven't seen that in their manual. That's good shooting, hope this one does anywhere near that.

Both my Service Rifles are RRA NM........zero complaints.

One arrived with a charging handle damaged in shipping, I had a new one at my door the next evening.

Delivered a week ago, tried only cheap 55gr ammo in 8 twst/20" varmint barrel. Fit and finish is good, CS is great, shipping was fast. Used a scout rail to get the scope forward. Shooting tight groups at 100yds, tightens up at 200yrds, don't know why. Always a flyer or two in 10 shots, but groups are consistantly tight. Have some 69, 75 & 81 grain bullets to load and see what it will do at 200/300yrds. Folks at the shop had good things to say when inspecting it.

I've always had very good results with my RRA 20" Varminter and the 458 SOCOM that I recently sold. Both rifles will shoot sub-moa with handloads everyday if I did my part. I have never had any problems from a RRA product,so I don't know about their customer service.

i have a match ar built by rr and i love it.

[Appleseed]

This one shoots 20 rounds cheap ammo thumbnail size at 100 yrds. Haven't botherd to clean the barrel or load any ammo yet, I'm impressed.

My wife's RRA Operator 20-round rapid fire at 100 yards with cheap 55gr PMC ammo ...

I just have one question, does your colt lower have the larger take down pins and how do you get around that if you don't mind explaining?

I just have one question, does your colt lower have the larger take down pins and how do you get around that if you don't mind explaining?

Take down pins are the same on Colt as any other AR15. In some cases, the trigger pins are different.
I ended up building an upper (this thread is 2 months old) and had no issue with assembly onto my Colt lower.
