At a gun show today, I snagged me a new Rock River Arms A4 Carbine 5.56.

I wasnt in the market for one but the price was right. This is my first AR type rig, looking forward to plinking with it and using it for small game hunting. I hope I made a good choice.

Any tips/advice would be appreciated

popped off a few rounds yesterday. I love this trigger, nice 2 stage that is fairly light and crisp.

That RRA 2 stage match trigger is the best factory trigger out there, IMO. You can't beat $750 for that rig. Good snag.

I agree with everyone else great buy on a quality AR. Enjoy your new toy.

So, what optics are you going to play with? </div></div>

Currently all I have for it now is a Tasco WC 3-9x40 IR. Works fine for what it is and should as its a low recoil weapon. Im fixn to buy a scope for my bolt gun so this is what I am gonna have to work with for a while till funds provide.

Any tips on one? I will use this for some hunting and I like scopes, never had an EO Tech or anything of the sort. I amleary of the cheap red dots.

La Rue is your friend. Also see Bravo Company. Put an Aimpoint M3 on it and a good sling and you are ready to roll.

Re: Picked up my first AR

RRA are good shooting rifles. you might want to get a new kind of end on that instead of the regular hand guard a RIS style one maybe..... but nice deal 750 wow.
