Thank God we have a Rural King now here local. This is a digital day/night scope. Great gun. Down side is nobody making spare mags for it yet other than Hornor Defense. Going the other direction nobody would move. Seems like a stand up guy to me. After further review, Rock River Arms, Inc. (RRA) is immediately severing all ties with the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association (IFMA). We feel that IFMAs integrity is compromised and we will not be a part of the organization. Rock Rivers AR builds are superb, and they come in at a price thats quite reasonable (starting at $1,585). Bill Ruger retired from the company in 2000 and died in 2002. 2) One of the Resses got caught doing something bad again, and a deal was reached to help anti-2nd forces in exchange for an investigation going away. This story is libel. I own or have owned a number of AR's, including a couple of LaRue's, a KAC, a PWS and a POF.

If for no other reason than as a cautionary tale to other would be future sell outs. If you dont support Ruger you dont support American ideals. Your Price: $744.13. THEY MUST BE BOYCOTTED INTO BANKRUPTCY. Obviously Springfield and others have not learned this lesson and are going down the same road. They will now go to the top so I can wear them out and use the warranty. Im not buying a damn thing from Springfield and there is NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THAT. We feel that IFMAs I can promise that none, and I mean none of my not unsubstantial refund, is going to wind up in Springfields receivables account. is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders. Of course lobbyists have the highest ethical standards, so thats just crazy talk. I know people who continue to not buy Ruger even after his kids made up for the old mans traitorous ways. How many Illinois politicians wind up going to jail? The company SHOULD be boycotted even if they shuffle management. Wasnt sold on DAO until I shot it. Rock River Arms has I hate to say this Tony, but you are completely clueless about lobbyists. In order to try to get a lock on about 1.6 million FOID holders in Illinois, Springfield has angered the other 80 million gun owners in the rest of the nation. No offense intended. How did the unveiling of the new pistol go? You probably also found out that at least bizapedia reports that the IFMA was dissolved. You write as though weve been asleep. Theres no way to know for sure. A Rock River two-stage match trigger or even a 3-pound single-stage trigger would be a recommended upgrade. Hislobbyist will continue to fight and protect dealers and gun owners? Not saying you have to like what happened, but its soviet Illinois, it was going to happen with or without their opposition.

I put 3.5k rounds through it before a malfunction. Because of rumors of canceled orders. The rights of citizens that theyve agreed to negotiate away will NEVER be restored. More interesting question: can Springfield even attempt to disavow at this point? We are not obligated to honor a price that is in print or an error. Springfield isnt doing anything that the vast majority of companies do, protecting their bottom line. Magpul moved to WY. All businesses are licensed at the state level. He kept his marginal Mini-14 from hitting the list, selling out the gun owner in the process! No more. And I believe it came with an internal lock on the main spring housing. $14.95 Per Firearm One $9.99 Charge For Any Amount of Accessories Ben Franklin once said, If we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately.. I would have called my lawyer, the NRA and a publicist. I have to say this really makes me mad. Neither excuse is a proper justification. I read somewhere that there is a city named Springfield in almost every state in the Union. With an MSRP of $860, it is a capable rifle at great price point. The local ones are more like highway bandits than gun dealers. But thats only a fraction of his treachery. We need to defend our legacy from the likes of them !! These two companies MUST be boycotted into bankruptcy. However, if youre willing to spend a little extra money on your rifle, Rock River Arms is definitely worth considering.

And theyre telling their friends. How is it that they even survived to change in the first place? Do you rednecks and white trash go out of your way to get the their wrong every single time? The S&W deal with Clinton was made on March 17, 2000 and the company was sold for $45 million ($15 million cash and $30 million in acquired debt) on May 11, 2001 Sure, the majority will be DOA, but blue and swing states will see this get passed using this an example of good gun control that even firearms companies support. Antifa is showing what they are willing to do, watch their fellow komrad take a LEO beanbag round to the wang and keep marching. Anyway, at least for now, I will bide my time and see if Springfield repents and takes positive actions to atone for their irrational IL acts. The idea being that this bill is so toxic that Senators passing it or the Governor signing it will be drawn into a wide-ranging financial and criminal probe. After Bill Ruger died, Ruger also dramatically changed direction. No other IL manufacturers donated, not Armalite, not DSA, nada. Its real easy for you people to bash a company when you dont own shit. If youre looking begin your 3-Gun or short-stage PRS competition endeavors, the Rock River Arms RRAGE 2G may be your ticket. Ive refused to buy S&W products since then, with the sole exception of a Model 640 Pro .357 Magnum, which lacks the damned thing. Thats how capitalism works. This will damage Springfield Armorys brand nation-wide, in a business where reputation is everything.

I dont think the current owner is going to make that same mistake although I wish they would just stop putting in that stupid lock already. They did what they thought would keep the Criminal Clinton Administration from making a total all out war on guns. Apparently, John Smith isnt an advocate of the constitution or specifically the second amendment. If you are willing to do 9mm, check out an Honor Guard.

That said, this just breaks my heart to see this moron Reese damage the brand. Two companies provide the bulk of the funding for IFMA:Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms. If youve already implemented them, great. Well, said. Now that I understand what occurred its pretty obvious as gunners we need to pass on Springfield and run to Henry. WebA similar thing happened with Yeti and the NRA, where Yeti ended their NRA-specific discount program but included them in a broader discount program. Absolutely love them.

Whats more, Larsonseems genuinely appalled by what happened. I dont buy imported guns so SA & RRA are not going to loose any sales because of me. Smith and Ruger more than compensated for erroneous thinking. So thats a reason for ignoring the fact that Ruger basically wrote the assault weapons ban? The vocal retards who screamed about this conveniently ignored that last part. Rock River Arms RRAGE Carbine LAR-15 with ATN Day/Night scope. For folks like me, it is no longer enough to be willing to fight and die for these rights, but to be willing to kill for them as well. And rra. If only there was a place to run-and-gun in or near NWI. WebThis is the perfet mag for your LAR-15, and will work great in any AR-15 platform rifle. Whats left after the hate which never leaves? Just keep in mind, if you have a dozen guns in your safe, I GUARANTEE you that at least one comes from a company whos compromised at some point. Do they somehow know the licensing scheme is going to be corrupt or extremely expensive? Pretty small and isolated country town. Of course there will be others that benefit as well. With the Hillarys loss there is no longer a looming gun ban on the horizon and the firearm industry and market is facing a correction. Every damn one of you bad asses crying I wont buy from them again would have done the same thing. Thanks Springfield. They MUST be boycotted into bankruptcy. Who Makes Rock River Arms? As for Springfield Armory, Im really sorry to see them cross over to the dark side. I was just about to order another springfield xdm .45. Post interesting results everywhere. Audits of the players, including the lobbyist and relevant politicians, and FOIAs or something for pending investigations against all the same could prove enlightening. Springfield Armory is a dishonest operation from stem to stern. Since you researched IFMA you also noticed that the $100K was the ONLY money they had in their account, donated by only two companies, SAI and RRA. But I wont EVER support a company who actively supports an infringement of any kind. I think it was meant to be used with gloves on only. Helps to have the older experience but not insurmountable. Ruger was making superior quality products using totally American resources. When I contacted Springfield about getting some spare magazines for my M1A, they told me they wouldnt sell to me because I lived in New York. If that hurts a company whos sold you out, good. My favorites in their calibers, cherished in my collections. If RRA really didnt know about this, then their next steps should be to cancel their membership in IFMA, denounce the lobying they did, and maybe start looking to move. Gun owners have good memories, it will take a year but Springfield like Target will notice their mistake on their Revenue numbers and blame the weather, the president, insert excuse here. Im not ordering anything Springfield. IMO, this last election postponed the literal civil war Ive been advocating for for over 10 years.

What gets me is there has been plenty of time and opportunity for damage control or to save face but they havent done anything to fix what theyve done. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Rock River Arms, Incorporated is a manufacturing company in Colona, Illinois that manufacturers parts and accessories for AR-15 / M16 type rifles, as well as other firearms. Rock River Arms is owned and operated by brothers Mark and Chuck Larson. Between 1981 and 1991 the Larsons worked at Springfield Armory, Inc., where Mark was the head armorer. I am not positive, but didnt Beretta get so pissed with Maryland that they moved everything, or is it still on going? Hugely disappointing. I just bought a DDM4V11 in January at an unheard of, low price of $1369. Along with lost new sales, this boneheaded move will kill resale values.
