RRA produces some of the best high value AR-15 variants in the world. They are extraordinarily accurate, reliable, and long lasting. In this in-depth review vid, I address my thoughts on “mil-spec” and Rock River’s departure from it. The QA portion of the spec is desirable but adds substantial cost and it generally overkill for the average AR user. It also limits features to those determined by US Government committees…a bad thing. The civilian market has long been where the best guns are made. Some forum elitists may balk at the materials of the Rock Rivers and features but few have extensive experience with the type and therefore their criticisms ring carry no weight with me. Granted, on paper, the 4140 steel 1/9 twist Wylde chambered barrels, commercial buffer tubes, non-HP/MPI bolt carrier, lack of barrel chroming, and other mil-spec departures may seem disappointing. But that’s on paper. Shot for over SEVEN years before this review, RRA AR-15s (LAR-15s) have been stellar performers under hard TNP testing. The Elite Operator2 and Entry Tactical, wearing a few modifications of my own (discussed), achieved 1 MOA groups with STANDARD BALL ammo. With premium 77 gr Fiocchi Match Kings, the groups shrunk to 1/2 inch. Keep in mind these are tactical carbine variations of the LAR-15, not target rifles with overly thick barrels. Most high end AR-15s, piston or DI, have failed to achieve this accuracy. And this accuracy testing came only after many 1000s of rounds shot in TNP …

From 1998 Album: “Make It Reign”….. Lord Tariq’s Myspace: www.myspace.com Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz was a rap duo consisting of Sean “Lord Tariq” Hamilton and Peter “Peter Gunz” Pankey. In 1996 the duo appeared on Whodini’s album, Six, appearing on the track “Can’t Get Enough”, and assisting writing on two other tracks on the album. They had two hits in 1998 with the platinum single, “Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)”, which hit number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was featured on their only album, Make It Reign. The album featured collaborations with rappers Big Pun, Fat Joe, Sticky Fingaz, Kurupt and Cam’ron. But the duo had no further hits and amicably split up shortly after. The son of Peter Gunz, Cory Gunz is also a rapper. Lord Tariq has a solo album The Barcode that featured Peter and Cory Gunz. Lord Tariq also did a collaboration with Jay-Z and Shaquille O’Neal in 1996 on a song titled “No Love Lost” for O’Neal’s album, You Can’t Stop the Reign. A remix of this song later surfaced with the name “Analyze This” and O’Neal’s lyrics replaced with a new verse from Nas for the Analyze This soundtrack. Gunz also collaborated with O’Neal on “Strait Playin” (also featuring DJ Quik), “Best to Worst,” and “Can I Play?” from Shaq’s album “You Can’t Stop the Reign” and “The Way It’s Going Down” and “Make this a Night to Remember” on Shaq’s album “Respect.” Gunz also teamed up with O’Neal, along with rappers B-Real, Ice Cube, and KRS-1 on the tune “Men of Steel” from the movie …
