RRA LAR-47
Rock River has come out with an AR in 7.62x39mm. Most well-studied AR gunsmiths know that the AK round has a taper that doesn’t function well with the AR magazine design. So, some bright spark at RRA went : Thereifixedit. … Continue reading
Super-cool: Polymer 1911
From Rock River Arms. RRA used to make both nice 1911s and ARs, but had to drop the 1911s in 2008 when the AR explosion hit. Obviously, they are re-entering the market with a bang! The frame is polymer, which … Continue reading
