Well I heard back from a gunsmith in my town about ordering me the AR of my dreams. I have been wanting a RRA Elite CAR A4 for a while now.

Here is a pic!


The price for the basic rifle as pictured is $905

I want to add a couple of options and the prices for the upgrades are as follows:
Ambi Safty $25 and 4 rail free float forearm $100

He is going to only charge me $10.00 for the transfer fee and he thought shipping would be around $25

That brings the grand total to $1065.00

What do you guys think about that pirce? Is that a pretty good price for the basic rifle. I already know that the prices of the upgrades are pretty much standard.

The same gun is listed on Gun broker by a stocking dealer in my state for $895.00 Of course that would require me to drive almost 4 hours one way to pick it up.

If ordered right now it would take 8 to 12 weeks for delivery. RRA must be a little backed up right now?

i'm not an expert, but that sounds about right've seen ARs as high as $1400(smith & wesson) in sportsmans

Depending on what you drive you might end up a tiny bit cheaper on the one on gunbroker and four hours isn't 6 weeks. But it is always worthwhile to support a local shop IF they do you right which it seems he is.

not really an a.r. fan but got to check out a rock river and was impressed with the workmanship and the feel of it

[ArkansasHunter]

Not a bad price !!! Get it but is he going to add sales tax ? I bought a Bushmaster
AR15 M4 for $ 850.00 plus tax and I'm not sure but don't RRA's sell or cost more ?

That isn't a bad price, but find out if there is a waiting list. Those have been on a back order for over 6 months now.

Not a bad price, no great deal either.

[rocketmonty]

yuo can get that for less, just be patient and check other mfg too. also rra is very good actually.

As I stated it will take about 8-12 weeks for delivery.

8-12 weeks is what they said, but in reality, it is more like 6 moths. I was going to get a complete RRA, but after reading about other people's experiences on AR15.com I just put mine together. It took about that time just to get my upper alone and lowers were on eternal backorder.

[jashoffa]

Beer Forever, you have just made up my mind. I had better get that thing ordered! The sooner the better!

[jashoffa]

Well I gave my guy the word to get that think ordered. I went with the Elite CAR A4. I am going to add a Midwest Industries 4 rail free float handguard after I get it. I did add the ambi safty. Also word on AR15.com is that the lead times are getting much better now. They said they ship whole rifles before they ship parts and that while they are still telling people 8-12 weeks they are shipping them much sooner than that right now and they are getting caught up on parts too. I will let you all know when it comes in!

Thanks for your help.

[jashoffa]

I get it on Monday. It took right at 5 weeks!

[Beer Forever]

Lets see some pictures!! I have an RRA mid length upper and it is top notch!

[at4rxj]

That's high. I just got that same upper without the tactical carry handle for $510, complete with bcg... I got a good deal, but you should shop around. You can do better.

[Beer Forever]

I got that upper for $450 out the door delivered and waited about one month.

[at4rxj]

That's not the same upper I got. I mis-read the post. I have the Entry Car A4 upper (m4 barrel). Still sounds high, according to beer's post.

[jashoffa]

As soon as I take some I will get them posted. I don't want to put it down long enought to take a picture right now!
