    1st review

    I have had mine for 2 years and I used it when I worked armed security. Lightweight and never failed me. I have put at least 5,000 rounds through it with only one malfunction

    I have a slightly different version, the Tactical CAR UTE 2. Flat top with fixed rear and front sights that co-witness beautifully with optics. I like the fixed sights as opposed to the flip-up BUIS. In my humble opinion, two less movable parts that Mr. Murphy can get his grubby hands on. Can't speak highly enough of the quality of Rock River products!

    Best .223 for your money, I never had an issue with the weapon, but did have some trouble with some no name magazines causing it to jam. When I got rid of those I got rid of the jams. Great gun I love it. In tactical situations, or just thrown rounds down range you'll never regret buying it.

    I used to sell a lot of these back in my gun store days. Best bang for your buck if you are not a die hard fan of another brand. Rock River meets or exceeds military standards and currently has a notewrothy contract with the DEA. They have excellent customer service and you can get what you want factory installed (some items at no additional cost) so you are ready to go when you pick it up. Accuracy and trigger mechanisms are excellent for those who are little more stringent on those qualities. Very competitively priced, you can't go wrong.

    RRA Elite M-4 with medium handguards Sitting in a Eagle Assault case with a Viking V-Tac sling. On top sits regular iron sights with an EoTech 522. It has the most smoothest triggers I have ever felt on a stock AR. I took it hunting last fall & on doe day, I hit a small doe on a flat out sprint / run- Three in the box, one in the shoulder & one miss using this EoTech & rifle.

    It is a very well made firearm, I own one and my agency has several but it does not hold groups as tight as my Bushmaster or Colt. With the Colt I am sub MOA at 100 yds, MOA with the Bushmaster and very slightly above MOA with the Rock River. Besides this little issue the rifle is outstanding and has not sufferred a malfunction in just under 6,000 rounds of ammo on the range over the last two years.

    This weapon was just added to our department inventory, replacing the crap Ruger mini-14's we were carrying. Since I also use this weapon in the Army, I've been quite happy with its performance, durability and ease-of-use. Well worth buying...

    Easy to shoot and incredibly accurate up to at least 300 meters. It is easy to carry as long as you need to carry it because it is also light. Anyone who has ever shot the military M-16 will take to this weapon immediately and enjoy shooting it as well. The only negative in the civilian model is the lack of a three shot burst, but that could be a bad thing in many circumstances anyway! Glad I have one.

    Damn good patrol carbine. Though I prefer the .308cal for it's barrier penitration and it's stopping power, the .223cal does have a reputation of excellent accuracy and serves the needs of a patrol carbine round well. Rock River also makes a very good quailty product.

    I use the Colt M4. I think its awesome if anyone remembers using the M16A2. That thing is heavy the recoil kicks like a shotgun and is a pain to clean. The M4 on the other hand is great. Collapsable stock, you can add rails to attach lazer sight, night vision accessories, and a fore grip for CQB.

    It's what I carry over here in Afghanistan. Although I have a sight on mine for close quarters combat. Mine also has a flip up removable rear sight and the rail system in place of the hand guards. No cool attachments there though cause I'm not combat arms. It is exetremely reliable though.

Only draw back is that there is not a rack for storage with all the accessories on it. Otherwise great tool. No we can even the odds with the bad goy's.

    I have mine with the flat top and fold down front sights. I put an EOTech sight on it and it rides with me in the unit every day. The shotgun may be the patrolman's nuke, but ever fewer will argue with an AR. Rock River makes an outstanding unit. My advise is buy it, practice and have it with you.

It was easy to order the modifications to what I wanted to build. It was worth every penny. After having 20 + years carrying a M16A1 and 2, this is a Cadillac.
