RRA lar-9

[Sam1]

anyone have one of these?  have been procrastinating on getting something like this and starting to convulse since there's been no new babies in the house for about 6 months now.

 

Or if you all have another suggestion, has to be a 9mm or .45 and I don't want to piece one together, want to buy the entire thing.  Not too worried about cost as long as the expense is justified. 

 

Seen another one from some company named "just right" but have never even heard of that company before so not sure what the story is behind their stuff.

The Just Right carbine are okay. They use Glock 17 mags. 

I have a pieced together 9mm AR. I like it. My brother has the Rock River 9mm AR that is based on the Colt system. It's a very good AR.  Mine is an Olympic style rifle. I like it a lot.

 

Going to get a DDLES lower once the new company gets up and running now that Jon Beaudry is out of the picture.

I was under the impression that they were just closing down. If it's true, it's the best news I've heard today. Do you have a source? (Not that I don't believe you)

If you already have a bunch of Glock mags, one of the lowers that use them makes a lot of sense.

 

I didn't, so I just bought CMMG's dedicated 9mm lower for my SBT build.  It runs like a champ.

Love my Mech Tech mounted to G23.

I had an LAR-9 for a while. 

Had about 6 different magazines.

 

Ran around 200-300 rounds through it. Never got a full mag to cycle. 

I polished the bolt, and everything else I could think of.  Was really disappointing. Gun was very accurate and fun to shoot, but on the heavy side.

I'd love to know some more about DDLES's status. Anybody got the story there?

Edit: nevermind I caught up on the drama over at ARFCOM. I guess everyone I know who ordered in the last year just got lucky.

What a shame.

The new company is supposedly going to be called Blue Falcon Armory. 

The long story has been hashed out on Arfcom in the .22 and AR pistol caliber forum there.

A user named tusconconnection has the whole story and has helped a bunch of people get lowers or money refunded. He also knows the people behind the new company that bought all the CAD drawings and machining fixtures from Jon Beaudry.

I wish the new company the best of luck. I need one of the Glock lowers! Edited June 18, 2014 by KKing

Blue Falcon Armory?  That's some serious panache, right there, considering the DDLES debacle.  :rofl:

[50 cal]

Not sure if that is going to be the name. Someone local to the new shop mentioned that was going to be the name.

I have a 9mm AR built on a company's upper that is long gone. It is a Colt based gun and we have over 9K rounds through it now. It is the one gun that almost always gets shot when we hit the range. I will say I did ramp the bolt myself but other than that it has not been touched. And I recently cleaned it for the 4th time since we have had it. And because it is a blowback gun it is a lot more reliable than most other guns.

 

I will say that the Colt based guns can get finicky with certain types of hollow points but with FMJ mine has been 100% reliable. It is our home defense gun.

Jeez, SIG...get the MPX to market!

The only gun I'm really wanting right now is a reliable AR-based 9mm.  Apparently, this is a tall order.

I'd like to buy the MPX pistol, apply for a tax stamp, and then get the stock for it.  That way, I can shoot it while I'm waiting for my paperwork to get back.

They were basically using suppressor baffles pinned on to make the barrel legal length and calling it a "flash hider". Think the ATF said no sir. Not sure why the other models aren't being produced/released though Side note, you know you can use the SB15 brace and shoulder it like he shows at the end of the video right? I mean, I realize some will SBR no matter what, just wanted to make sure you knew Edited June 19, 2014 by KKing

I have the RRA Lar9 and it has functioned great, no problems. My wife loves it and can shoot and knock over 6 bowing pins in a row hitting the top of each pin using the red dot reflex sight I have mounted on it. Mags are about $32 a piece but Outpost Armory cares them.I have the Ar and about 4 mags. Makes a great house/farm gun especially when you have several 9mm semi-auto pistols.

These are the magazines you want to have:

http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MCPAR9&name=C+Products+9mm+Colt+Style+Stainless+Steel+32rd+Mag&groupid=14

 

$11 each and are all stainless steel. I tried all kinds of other magazines and once I started using these magazines any malfunctions went away.

Wow. That's a smoking good price! Any where else, the 32 rd mags run around $18 or so. I need to get a few for when my DDLES lower gets here. Thought it was going to be a Glock lower but turns out the guy had a Colt style lower.

That's a great deal... and good news.  I know C-Products mags can be kinda "hit or miss".  Glad to hear that their 9mm AR mags are GTG.
