Well considering those look liek airsoft versions of a COlt M4A1 -- no.

But the lower one John Hipwell could do a version for you - as he is the ARMS and PRI distributor.


I personally recommend the Armalite 16" midlength as the perfect do all gun for people. (or anyother midlength other than RRA -- I have a hate on for anyone who blows a spec and then lies to cover it up calling it an "upgrade")

They made out of spec uppers -- and then tried to hype them as the "new and improved" M1993 spec (yeah sure)

Then would not replace them when shown they ####ed up.
 
I followed the advice of KevinB and got myself a 16" midlenght light-profile Armalite flattop upper from Wolverine Supplies... my lower is a Bushmaster and fits well with the upper.
Perfect setup, from service rifle shooting at 500m down to CQB type rapid snaps at 25m...

Stag Arms are supposed to be good, as they are made by a military contracter. They just don't have any 14.5" or midlenght barrels.
And please, don't buy any HBAR (heavy barrel)... useless weight... far away from the "true" military configuration.
 
I started with a COLT LE CARBINE from Al Simmon's gun supply in Hamilton, On. Its not as cheap as Armalite but I like having the real deal. Then I got all the extras through Pat at Wolverine Suplies...
Daniel Defence free float handguard
surefire tac-light with pressure pad
Eo Teck 551.A65 holographic weapons sight w/night vision capability
A.R.M.S. flip-up front and rear iron sights
Tango Down verticle battle grip w/ pressure pad pocket
accu-wedge

Now the carbine looks awesome and is more accurate too!
Im still debating whether or not to get a 2-stage trigger
 
i had colt, bushmaster and stag arms all 100% all very high quality. i have no doubt that RRA is also very nice just never had one

Well that's great news.... Just ordered one of their A4 Upper recievers hoping it would give me something close to the standard issue M16A4 (well, apart from the HBAR profile barrel on the RRA). Kevin, does this issue persist with Rock River, or was it just a flawed isolated batch with the huge demand for these uppers lately? They seem to have a great opinion on AR15.com.

I asked him the same question as I also ordered an RRA. The problem was a few years ago and they have corrected it.

I'm curious as to whether the alleged "dremelled" M4 feedramp cuts (after annodizing) are showing up on any of the newer production receivers??? BTW, I've never actually seen an RRA upper, so all I'm going on is what I've read over at ARfcom. Anyone with a current RRA upper able to comment on their personal findings?

hsld.
 
Mine was delivered to my house today... but I was at work :(
I could post some pics tomorrow when I get it :D

RRA Standard 20" A4 Upper
 
RRA seems have more choices
Stag seems have better quality ( from pictures... -_- )
