Rock River Arms LAR-15?

I've been looking for a super-compact .223 to build. I asked about the Carbon 15 and virtually everyone said it'd blow up on me. I asked for any other suggestions but didn't get any.

Anyone have any experience with Rock River Arms? Their LAR-15 A4 with 7" barrel is really interesting to me. There is an amazing amount of AR-type companies out there, would you guys recommend RRA or something else? I'm open to any ideas.

Also, what sort of accuracy might I expect w/ such a short barrel? I'm guessing 6" at 100yrds or so? Not interested in using it any further out than that.

Thanks for everyone's 2 cents.

For the $ RRA are a good rifle. Fit and finsih (upper and lower play is almost non existant) and they shoot very well.
