RRA upper range report
Cold! Changed out scopes to a new Bushnell 1x4 30mm. Zeroed and benched with Rem 40 gr Golden HV solid and WW white box SV. Function 100%. Good groups, mags all worked. WW grouped better. RRA lower tricked out and giessele NM trigger. Shot some off hand. 25 yards. Good day!
www.rimfirecentral.com This fella has posted a couple times about his RRA 22LR. I have a couple different brands of 22LR uppers already but I wouldn't hesitate to go this route. It is my understanding that RRA, Nordic Components, and JP Enterprises all use the same bolt (JP has lightened theirs). There's another thread there that goes into greater detail. Would be a good place to search.
Mine is on order. When I shoot it, I'll give a report.
What mags are you running? Did you get any of the borebuddy upgrades?
Looking forward to your review. Which one did you get and how long ago?
Cmmg mags. No upgrades
Interesting. I hear CMMG mags are crap and don't work.
.22LR Tactical Carbine
Rock River Arms, Inc. offers a complete line of American made, custom built AR15 style rifles.
I had a Spike's Tactical dedicated 22 LR upper with a Lothar Walther barrel. Nice shooting rifle and likes CCI Mini-Mag ammo the best. Spikes has a great reputation for their rifles and are American made in Florida. They use Black Dog magazines, I believe. Alas, I sold it to move on to other things. I would not expect any 22 LR on an AR-15 platform to produce match gun accuracy, but they are fun to shoot. RRA makes good stuff too.

P.S. Spikes doesn't show any 22 LR uppers on their website, but I think they are still available. Call them.

I have a V22 for accuracy, I want an AR22 for plinking suppressed.
Idk where you heard that. I’ve never had a feeding problem. Just a few FTE with some ammo. Look up IV8888s 22lr meltdown....
Good to know. I heard that on youtube, and from a source that sells after market kits to make the guns run well (they don't sell mags btw). Said CMMG mags are hit or miss. Black dog mags are supposedly better. I don't have a dog in the fight, since I don't have a gun yet. But trying to learn as much before I buy.
Bear Creek Arsenal just came to market with a 16" side-charging 22LR dedicated upper. It looks to use the same bolt as the RRA, JP, Nordic design except they put a side-charger on it. $350 if they're still in stock.

Used the BCA AR 22 upper last weekend at an Appleseed rifle event. Upper functioned well and the quality seems very good. Lower was an Aero Precision M4E1 with Magpul rifle stock and LaRue 2stage trigger. Accuracy allowed Rifleman score first time out. Did have one FTE in about 400 rounds of CCI minimags using Black Dog mags. Have not had a chance to check for absolute accuracy. The bolt seems to be proprietary, at least not similar to the twin guided Ciener/ CMMG style. Unfortunately the Better-Mag adapter does not work with this upper tho' will work on mods to change that. Overall happy with the all metal construction and approximate weight of centerfire upper.
