My new RRA
Aside from the handguard (17oz's!), I really like this rifle. The fit and finish are perfect. Much nicer than my dpms.

That was my impression of RRA when I bought one back in January of this year. Compared to similar priced weapons, the RRA had a high degree of "fit and finish". The trigger was better than any of the others at that price point as well.

Is that the Elite Operator droptrd? What do you have on there for optics? Looking for ideas for my own. I've already ordered a 2nd RRA, because I like this one so much.... and not sure what's going to happen with these ARs if Premier Obama is re-elected.

yeah thats the elite operator II. With the 1/2 quad rail system and the dominator 2 rear sight. The Optic is a Vortex Strikefire red dot.
I have the vortex mounted to the dominator. Ive taken the entire thing off and put it back on and it holds zero very well. |

Great buy! I am surprised as to how accurate RRA make their AR's and guarantee them with 3/4 moa. For the price point RRA will always get my vote.

Mine is a 16" mid-length gas system, I think it was called the "operator II " or something like that.
The one thing I would change on mine is I would prefer a lighter weight barrel and handguard. The HBAR barrel is heavy, and so is the half-quad hand guard. I love the performance, but I think the rifle is about a pound heavier than it needs to be. It does shoot sub MOA however, so I can't complain. As shown in the photo is was just under 8 lbs. After removing the rear sight and attaching a scope, it is up to 9 lbs. Last edited by btmj; September 16, 2012 at 12:20 AM. |

I have a RRA Elite Operator as well. Great rifle. The only thing I've done to mine is change the muzzle break out for a Vortex flash suppressor.

Shhhh! Ya'll stop sayin all that out loud- all that about how well your RRA's work and such. Nobody'll believe anything less than $1800- $2k will fire more than once before it blows sky high!

I'm about to place an order for one, and was told to expect about a 4 month wait. I can get a Stag right now, but I feel the RRA is worth the wait. Let's hope a ban doesn't go into effect after the election...look's like Obama will be getting a second term.

It's worth the wait. The trigger alone is a selling point for RRA.

I got lucky and was able to find a RRA lower last week online so I jumped on it. I want to start buying parts for my upper soon.

Does anyone know how to hook up a 1 point sling to a RRA Opertor CAR Stock.It's the butt stock that comes with the Elite Operator 2.Pic's would be nice of different ways.

I think you can loosen the butt stock nut and rotate the sling attachment out to where you want it. Youll need an AR armorers tool for that. Is that what you are asking?

Do you think it would be ok to use a Heavy Duty Flush Push button Quick Detachable Sling Swivel 1-1/4" Steel.They push in the holes of the butt stock.

Just bought the same rifle on Saturday. Absolutely love it. My first AR and I couldn't be happier. Luckily, they had a few at the store I got mine from, but they said they are one of their best sellers there.

That is very nice! It was between the RRA Operator and the M&P VTAC for me. I decided on the VTAC because it was lighter and non-proprietary magazines.

Sorry but the RRA LAR-15 Operator does NOT use proprietary magazine. Don't know where you ever came up with that? T. |
