I never thought finding an upper would be such a pita. Between limited due to heavy barreled restrictions , or not wanting a junk upper, or just plain old out of stock, I may be stuck with just a complete lower for a while.
Aero precision uppers with a heavy 16 inch mid length gas gun can be found, but buy the time you buy the bcg ( a reputable one) and charging handle, you’re spending rra upper money or damn near sale priced lwrc uppers.
I like the coyote upper that rra has, but want a mid length gas system. The mid length offerings they have are 18 inch barrels. I’m probably nit picking at this point though lol.

You can try calling them to see if they’ll make a custom combo, as they can make uppers that aren’t listed on their website. I wanted a certain 10.5” upper configuration that wasn’t listed on their website to go with a RRA SBR lower I’ve been sitting on and they were happy to accommodate with just a phone call.

Didn’t know that was an option. Did they charge you a bunch more dollars to accommodate?
Nope only the cost of the parts, there wasn’t an upcharge for the ‘custom’ order. I didn’t ask for anything too crazy though but if you know exactly what combo you’d want I’d try calling and see if they can make it happen.

You might be able to find a dealer who can do it for you at a discount. I never ordered custom, but I worked with one in FL a few times, and he'd get the parts to me for about 40% off MSRP. Granted, this was pre-wuflu...

I am actually looking at getting a complete RRA gun for my next AR .. I found the RRage 3G, seems to be a good fit and decent price
I think that’s a lightweight profile barrel. They don’t give a lot of detail though. I’d check with them first unless you’re out of state.

They are well versed on Md regs. I doubt they would ship a non compliant whole gun to Merryland, besides, the barrel below the brake looks like an Hbar.

It’s been a bit, but last I checked they still wouldn’t ship anything serialized into Maryland.
I am not and i am going to have to double check, was looking at a few RRA guns last night and I swore this one had hbar but looking at the description now, it is pretty generic

Somewhat dredging up this thread, but I ordered an HBAR upper from them last week- nothing but silence since the order. I get the feeling this is standard practice for RRA based on google, but anyone have an idea what their lead time might be these days? I'm perfectly fine waiting but a timeframe would be nice.
Haven't purchased from them since pandemic, but they were never great with communications or speedy. On the flip side still good quality stuff that does arrive in time.

I emailed them about an upper and got a reply 3 days later saying it was out of stock and they didn’t provide a lead time. I ended up not placing the order since I have no idea when it would arrive.

I have a 20in ar15 with a bull barrel. Which I believe is a rock river.
I made a custom upper order from them in April I think it was, took about 1.5/2 weeks to ship.

Spoke with someone today before placing an order. Got through to customer service quickly and their lead time is currently 90 days on average.

WOW. I wish I had called them before I placed an order. Oh well, a nice little surprise in a few months!

So they are shipping serialized items into Maryland again I take it?
