Impressions

Also unique to this rifle, a new muzzle brake. This brake is promised to pull the gun down and forward, negating the effects of recoil. The trigger guard is oversized, to accommodate gloved hands on winter days. Out of the box, this rifle comes with a 6 position collapsible stock, designed to fit any size hunter. The trigger is a two-stage match, which is a great help on difficult shots.

    Go ahead and buy one, then when you need a part, RRA will tell you, NO, buy another complete upper or lower to get the one part you need. Crappy company !!!!!

    Just built one like this for the Mrs. Light bbl, went light all over. Shoots very well, (223 wylde, 1×8). Cost $400 to build. Even ceracoated it stainless on the upper and lower.Could build 4.5 for the MSRP of this one. Come on folks, get real. Sandy Hook days are over.

    The device on the end of the barrel is a muzzle BRAKE, not a break. Spelling does matter.

      Don’t need 400.00 dollar barrel and 200.00 trigger to make AR shoot 1/2 in at 100 yds polish your own trigger don’t get me wrong it’s a nice gun and have nothing against Fred just little high priced for some people

  • Hill Creekmore February 14, 2018, 9:04 am

    1800.00 Don’t think so you can build one for a 1/3 of that easy as Legos
