Rock River Arms M-4

I was talking to a shop here in town and they mentioned that Rock River Arms is having a huge problem supplying contractors overseas with a rifle that doesn't malfunction due to dust/dirt. He said that because RRA rifles are so accurate and built so tight they don't hold up well in the desert; and that they basically urge people to purchase Bushmasters here in town since we are in the same type of environment. Do you think this sounds right? The first thing that I thought was the shop makes more of a profit off of the Bushmasters than the RRA's. I just want a second opinion before I drop a grand on a Bushmaster.

Thanks TR, I thought it sounded fishy.

We have found that people are not wanting to wait for a Rock River when Bushmasters are generally an "instock" item. Rock River has gotten their production speed up so your wait will not be too long for delivery. Rock River builds a beautiful rifle.

Total BS. I have one of each. The BM has been demoted to "safe queen" (quality control/reliability problems) and will eventually be replaced when I get another RR. Besides, I like the guys at RR better - they treated me well and gave me what I wanted (non-std upper) without hassle/second guessing. All-in-all a pleasant shopping experience. FWIW - Peregrino

Same gas system as the FN-FAL You can order just a upper if you already have a lower.
