Im gmost troops in the Army only handle their rifles during basic training, and every 6 months at their rifle qual. range. The troopers pre service experince with traditional rifles and lack of "hands on time" comes into play in situations like Iraq where non combat arms troops are in frequent contact with the enemy. As to experince I am not refering to the actually aiming & squezing but rather the troopers overall comfort with the weapon in the high stress of combat. In the Army their are many more non-combat arms troops as opposed to combat arms troops. This is probably also the case in most armies around the world. If you can still follow my idea apply it to the whole Army and the rest of the armed services 1,181,613 per http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/ ... st0309.pdf .
In addition to my theroy of experince dovetailing with training in certain case figure in parts, and magazines, ammo, as Paco sited above you begain to see how big of a task that truly is. Semper asked what is the advantage of traditional rifles vs bull-pups for the US? I am not saying that a bull-pup is not a viable weapon system for the US, it is how ever a huge task change over.

Joey, the stock is held on by the large screw at the top of the butt plate, make sure it's tight.  If it is tight then your buffer tube might be loose.  Take the screw out of the butt plate and slide the stock off.  When you're doing this keep the muzzle pointed down or you'll lose the little spring for the rear take down pin.  Slide the stock off and set it aside and maintain holding the rifle with the muzzle down.  Try twisting the buffer tube with your free hand.  If it is loose you can tighten it with a wrench.  There will be a 1 inch extension on the end of the tube that will slide right off, set the aside and you'll see the end of the buffer tube has a square head on it.  Use an adjustable wrench and see if you can tighten the tube down some more.  Then reassemble everything in the reverse order and you should be good to go.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this earlier or not (I may have missed it), but the DEA just picked up a contract with RRA, so they seem to be doing rather well. I've got an RRA upper in mind for when I build my AR. Good luck!

I might be a little late to reply to your topic. But my shooting instructor owns a Rock River Arms AR rifle, and they are supposed to be a really nice rifle(s).

Allright, how do I get the stock off of this thing.  I read on AR15.com that it is a self locking screw, and I cant figure out how to get it out.

It has locktite on it Joey, you just need to use a little elbow greese, (get a big screw driver and a little muscle behind it).

What color locktite?  I tried my ass off last night.  I put the lower in between my knees, and got a huge screwdriver to fill the slot, and gave it all I got, I couldnt break it, and ended up slipping and messing the scew up just a little bit.

I suggest then before you do any serious damage to the gun that you take it back to the shop where you bought it and ask them to tighten the stock for you.

Can I use a DPMS gas block on a bushmaster?  I found one on ebay for 40 bucks, which is alot cheaper than a bushmaster block.

As long as it's the correct diameter for your barrel.  There two or three different sizes.  You'd have to get the diameter of your barrel (which we can't help you on since you are the one that has the rifle) and then make sure the gas block you're bidding on is the same diameter.

Yea, I figured that out.  I just wanted to be sure that everything else is made to the same specs.  Thanks

Rock RIver Arms
« Reply #43 on: April 19, 2004, 04:31:51 PM »
I recall hearing someone say that Rock River Arms made a nice AR.  I checked out their site, and am ready to buy.  I've never even shot an AR, and know nothing about them, other than how to operate them.  What do you guys think of RRA?  I like the fact that I can get a removable front site.  Id like any opinions one what brand to buy.  I know its a touchy subject, but if you were going to buy an AR, what kind would you go with?

Scott, Id like to hear what you have to say.  What brand did you have?

Joey
