Out of spec RRA

[DD214]

At your door or your FFL's door? Or did they make you a new reciever with the same serial #?

Here is the ATF code that addresses this:

TITLE 27--ALCOHOL, TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND FIREARMS

CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS, DEPARTMENT OF THE
TREASURY

PART 178--COMMERCE IN FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION--Table of Contents

Subpart I--Exemptions, Seizures, and Forfeitures

Sec. 178.147 Return of firearm.

A person not otherwise prohibited by Federal, State or local law may
ship a firearm to a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or
licensed dealer for any lawful purpose, and, notwithstanding any other
provision of this part, the licensed manufacturer, licensed importer, or
licensed dealer may return in interstate or foreign commerce to that
person the firearm or a replacement firearm of the same kind and type.

Cool...I knew you could ship to an FFL...but did not know they could ship a different serial'd gun back to you. Good to know though.

No way I'd be grinding on a perfectly functional part to make it work with a dysfunctional part.

Agreed, not to mention warranty issues.

At the range yesterday, ylfotevoli and I figured out he has the same problem with his RRA AR. He got it a few months ago, do you think RRA will still swap out the lower?

Yes, they will. They did for me.

 

[Maryland_Shooter]

If you need any help w/ this from a FFL call me!

What is your fee? Same if I send multiple rifles?

 

[Maryland_Shooter]

NO FFL required for this transaction. It's a repair and not a new buy. Just fax/mail MSP the invoice and you are done.

Two new receivers arrived today. I tested both and they are in spec and of the quality that I expect of RRA. No letter from RRA to send to the MSP .

**EDIT** The packing slip is meant to be sent to the MSP. I didn't notice it at first since it was on the outside of the box. It has a statement that says "Replaced lowers old #xxxxxxx & #xxxxxxx for new #xxxxxxx & #xxxxxxx. Warranty"

Good glad you are happy, I would say their customer service was great.

You didn't have the only out of spec RRA lower. I also have one. I have it on a Fulton Armory upper. It is REAL tight and there is a gap between the upper and the lower. Some mags will leave a live round in the chamber with an open bolt. I don't think I will buy a RRA Lower again. I also tried to put the lower on my Armalite upper. It wont even fit.

That may be your uppers. I'd be interested to see how it fit with an RRA upper. RRA is known for having very tight tolerances, and it is rare to see a complaint. That is why I was surprised with my problem. But from talking to customer service, I got the feeling that a bad batch went out. They made it right in a minimal amount of time, and personally I will only buy RRA in the future if possible. ...unless their QA is starting to slip like Bushmaster.

Yeah, the test of a good company in my eyes is not only the product they deliver, but how it handles problems if one ever arises. I have seen too many times a company with a good product that when there is a problem, they fall flat on their face with support. RRA is on the top of my short list for when I buy my first evil black rifle.
