I like the Ruger. Don't care for uppers that don't have the forward assist.

Strange to not see any specs provided for the barrels.

I certainly won't be in the market unless and until things settle down, which may not be for another 3 years, unfortunately. I think after yesterday's results, gun grabbing and gun banning by Congress is a dead issue, so availability shouldn't be the problem, the problem is pricing. |

Can't remember needing forward assist. I press on it regularly but it's just for reassurance. My brass deflector is functional but no idea if that's a necessity since I've never shot a 556 without one.
That aside, I'd say if you plan to shoot heavy bullets the Ruger is the better choice (1:8 twist). The bullets I've always used are more suited to a 1:9 twist and I'm fond of an HBAR (heavy barrel). Chrome-moly bore should enhance longevity. So I'd give the RRA a try if it was my choice. |

Yeah, the barrels are way too long. 10" is more than enough, for .300BLK anyway. Plus 10" of suppressor. That reminds me, deer season starts this weekend, time to kill a couple with my 'assault rifle'.

Buy this upper for $300
https://palmettostatearmory.com/blem...t=51655111124B and this matching lower for $140 https://palmettostatearmory.com/blem...ent=516445843B Put two pins in and it's ready to go. Palmetto State Armory is a manufacturer so you get better quality for less money. Both items are "blems" but they are fussy as can be and you probably won't find the defect in the finish. |
