Can anyone tell me the difference between the Rock River Arms CAR A4 and the Mid-Length A4?  Trying to figure out which one is the best one of these two to buy, base model.

Mid Length Gas system.  Handguards are 2 inches longer with the Mid-Length and the gas system is longer by a few inches than the carbine.  Which equates to softer recoil, longer sight radius (good thing)  all in all Mid-Length in my opinion is better than Carbine.
Go Mid Length.

Loves me some Middy.
My next build was going to be an 18" Gubment weight Middy.
Now on hold...

I plan on sending in my special order (since that's the only way you can get them right now) through class 3 weapons.  I just hate that their awesome sale ended on the 17th! $200 bucks off the mid-length A4.  Anyone else know where I can get a base mid-length A4 for less than RRA's list price of $1000? Or is that about the best deal you're going to find?

OR, can anyone give me a recommendation on maybe a different brand AR that is just as good as a RRA that would be cheaper than paying the price for an RRA?

If you can get your hands on a RRA without breaking into Fort Knox to pay for it then do it.

The current political climate as it is there is no telling the outcome.

So overall, RRA is the way to go out of all other AR brands?

There are varying opinions on this board regarding the different AR manufacturers.  I own both RRA and Colt, and could not be more pleased.

RRA is GTG.

pretty much in this climate if you are shopping and can get a mid-length I would go with pretty much any manufacturer.  

Out of many vendors RRA is good, not the best but is a good quality firearm, if any other mid-length mfg. like DD, Spikes, BCM come up have no problem purchasing them also.

My RRA middie is extremely accurately with the stock wilson barrel (will shoot 223 or 556)w scope and bipod condition accuracy is amazing but their uppers are a bit heavy with the
bull barrels.Worth the weight though if you are a reloader or accuracy nut !!!
