![]() ![]() Out of roughly 18-20 mags he's acquired for the rifle since buying it.he has 8-10 usable, functional, reliable mags. About half of the ones he has do ok and the others have a variety of problems from not feeding well to not locking up right in the rifle (and occasionally just dropping out of the rifle). He has five RRA-branded polymer mags.3 work 100% and 2 are garbage (don't fit in the magwell very well and don't function reliably). His rifle has had mag woes since day one.some work and some don't without much reasoning as to why. After getting it back, it functions ok now, with mags that he has had to test and test to find what works and what doesn't. His rifle went back to RRA for service about a month after he received it because it wouldn't cycle properly (gas system issue that was never explained by RRA) and was a jam-o-matic. A guy I shoot with sometimes has one of the 20" heavier barreled models and with FGMM 168gr and 175gr and his own reloads, it is MOA-capable or slightly better on a good day when all cylinders are firing and I have seen him consistently ring 8" steel plates at 600yds without a hiccup. The mags, while supposedly one of the big "selling points" for RRA's LAR-8 rifles (.) are the Achilles heel of the whole platform.aside from going even further off the reservation with using even more proprietary parts than their other large-frame AR competitors (Armalite and DPMS patterns) which cause compatibility issues with certain things, limits you in terms of aftermarket parts/accessories you can use (gaining some support in the aftermarket, but pales in comparison to others), etc., etc.Įverything I have seen with the RRA's first-hand as well as what I have gleaned from posts here on the Hide.is that they are capable rifles in the hands of a competent shooter and with proper ammo and when the work properly. ![]()
