Anyone know what Rock River Arms' policy is on shipping international? Furthermore, for an item such as an AR15.
Also, anyone dealt with them before? Friendly? Easy to work with?
 
Questar for Rock River

+1 to what Traskj said, Questar is the place to get RRA in Canada.

The paperwork isn't worth the hassle to do yourself when you can deal with a great guy like Mark.

Save the headache of dealing with CCRA, just give Questar a call instead.:)
 
I just bought a RRA carbine off a friend in the US. He shipped it out to Questar's US FFL on monday, it will be on the truck to Canada this weekend. Now that is service!
 
what are the triggers like? does the rail line up properly on the flat top for an Eotech?
 
while the trigger is good, i think it depends on what kind of application you want to use your gun for. I think a the Tac Response course, i've heard there were problems from those CGNers that had the RRA triggers (you'd have to ask around, but i *think it was something like they took longer to reset than the std triggers)

No problems like that on the advanced course. I've been running RRA 2 stage triggers in a couple of my rifles for a while now without any major glitches. I got a bit of junk stuck in one once and it wouldn't reset properly. A good thurough cleaning fixed this. The only real problem that I have with them is transitioning back to the RRA trigger afer using normal ones. I usually end up prematurely popping a round off or doubling because of the much shorter trigger pull.

How's RRA's quality compared to Colt, Armalite and Bushmaster?


A mil-spec Colt is probably the top of the heap. Their non-standard pin sizes and gimped up bolt carriers in their civilian models are deal breakers though. If I was getting a new rifle, I'd probably get a Stag, but there is nothing really all that wrong with Armalite, Bushmaster or RRA rifles.

What makes them deal-breakers? Is it just an ease of maintenance issue? And what's a gimped up bolt carrier? As you can see, I'm no AR expert.
 
The big thing going with AR's ar their modularity. Colt makes a mess out out their civilian models by using non-standard pin sizes so you can not use standard military or any other parts in their rifles without having to get silly little adapters. The bolt carriers on the civilian models are usually chopped and altered to prevent them being used in select fire rifles. They also remove the shroud from the firing pin with ends up causing unreliability and excessive wear and tear on some parts. One thing Colt does have going for them though is that their parts are MP tested, but so are the Stags.
