I think I've figured out which upper...

[Gman]

...to add to the lower that I built. I'm looking to pick up a RRA 16" CAR A4 Mid-length. Do you guys have any experiences that may cause me to change my mind?

[Asha'man]

I just got the same exact upper, and it's been good so far (for a week of handling and one quick strip/lube). :lol:

Mine runs flawlessly and, other than my varminter, is the most accurate AR I own. It outshoots my Colts and Bushmasters.
Be sure to get the chrome lined bore.

Chrome lined chamber and bore is a personal requirement. This RRA upper has them.

I have no experiences that would make you want to change your mind. I've fired RRA's several times, and I just picked one up and took it out yesterday for the first time. I grabbed up a 16 inch middy A4 and added a Troy BUIS, CL Barrel for longevity.

One nice thing was that the turn around time for complete rifles is listed as quite a few weeks. I ordered mine on Oct. 20th and picked it up on Nov. 7th. Sounds like you are only looking for an upper so the wait times won't be a factor for you, especially if you do a FTF. I just thought I'd add my two cents worth.

You will be pleased with the decision to go w/RRA in my opinion. :cool:

I pulled the trigger today and ordered the upper. Due to backlogs at RRA, I should have it by Christmas but probably won't have it for the next shoot.

[Asha'man]

Who'd you order it from? I called Pete at AR15sales.com (Legal Transfers) on a Wednesday and had the upper in my hot little hands the following Monday. Or Tuesday, I forget. Either way, it was fast.

[Gman]

I also ordered from Pete at Legal Transfers, L.L.C. He has to have it direct shipped from RRA. Looks like these uppers at that price are fairly popular.

[Asha'man]

Damn, that sucks. Guess I caught him at the right time.

I can wait. I have something else to shoot in the meantime and I've got a little BSA holographic sight to play with, too. A guy I know via the Smith & Wesson forum says it's a good toy for the money. We'll see.
