RRA CAR A4 Kit (Page 4 of 4)
|
"I ordered my CAR A4 kit on 3/15/13, just go it from UPS yesterday (6/12/13). Almost finished assembling"
I am happy for you, but that stinks for me. I ordered the identical kit on 3/10/13 and here it is July 19th and no word yet. I even made sure they got the money up front instead of waiting to charge me when shipped. I know they were absolutely slammed during the times of uncertainty, but the fact you ordered yours five days later than mine and received it over a month ago makes me lust all the more for mine to arrive. Was yours with a chrome-lined barrel? If not, maybe that's the difference. |

I am also wondering if the Chrome Lined Barrels is where the delay is at.
I have heard from several people about receiving the CAR kit in about 3 months. I ordered my CAR kit w/ Chrome Lined Barrel on March 26, 2013. I have not heard anything in regards to it shipping any time soon. Has anyone received a chrome line barrel kit |

I didn't request a chrome barrel but they sent me one. The rifle came just about exactly when they said it would. See est. delivery times.
I am completely happy with this rifle. Fit and finish are very high quality. You will be very pleased with your rifle. Easy to shoot and maintain. I shot mid eighties on the SR-1 target with battle iron sights prone at 100 paces last time out. I am sure the rifle will shoot very, very accurately. I have shot about two hundred fifty shots informal target. Not a single malfunction or mis-feed. |

Thanks Crosby.
I ordered my CAR kit at the end of March. I know RRA is buried in orders now, so I through I would ask if anyone received the CAR Kit with Chrome Barrel that ordered it last Spring. I am not in a big hurry to get it, but I did pass my 6 month mark. It seemed that the Non Chrome Lined kits where shipping in about a 3-4 months after they where ordered. Steve has mentioned a supply issue with the chrome barrels as well. I am trying to get a better idea on where my order sits. |
| I checked just now and RRA isn't publishing lead times. Maybe look back a little on this thread and see what others had to wait and add a little bit. This rifle is well worth the wait. BTW did you see the photo in the current American RIfleman of FBI agents using RRA carbines on page 82? I think these are probably kit carbines. |

The FBI was deeply involved in the DEA-administered DOJ contract on which RRA delivered a lot of carbines to multiple federal agencies (we aren't allowed, by th econtract, to disclose quantities, llocations, etc...). The Bureau has also been a client for other, non-contract, goods and services. The photo (pg 82 as referenced)looks like an indoor training day at Quantico. Steve/RRA |

Did anyone else notice the possible RRA carbine being used at Canadian Parliament?
This image is from the Reuters news service. Check out the LE officer on the left of the picture. http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/slideshow?articleId=USRTR4B6HT#a=6 It is probably a kit carbine. This link will get you to the picture. |

We have had a considerable number of LAR-15 in service with different Canadian LE Agencies for years. If the officer is using the carbine (sorry, couldn't make the link hot to follow it), it is very possible that it is a complete RRA LE carbine. Steve/RRA |

I looked up SWAT team in Wikipedia.
Check out the SWAT team member (USAF) shooting a RRA carbine. This link will get you there directly. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Falls_SWAT_team_member.JPG It is probably a kit carbine. |
