    Rock River Arms, Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR15 Model BB2512 Rock River Arms Tactical Operator
    Recently, Rock River Arms announced a new series of firearms. The Tactical Operator 2 line entails 3 different designs of Rock River Arms respectable direct-gas-operated LAR-15 style firearms. Each will share some common capabilities, and the rifles take their name from the new Operator stock Rock River Arms has recently announced. Rock River Arms started out building excellent 1911s, years before it was cool, the Corona, IL, company got into the AR-15 field. Its firearms were so well made that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency chose Rock River to produce its issue rifles available currently as the LAR-15 Pro-Series Government Model.

    Rock River Arms was launched eleven years back by 2 brothers, Mark and Chuck Larson, who worked out of a garage. It has grown steadily ever since and today employs more than 90 individuals. Even though Rock River produces firearms for numerous federal agencies, the actual majority of their product sales are to the civilian market place. Rock River Arms offers 50 or so designs of weapons, however shoppers can make up their very own designs, utilizing numerous parts alternatives - sights, rails, stocks, barrel length and contour, and more. Rock River will also add add-ons like flashlights and red dot sights. Rock River Arms is like an a la carte workshop for weapons. Rock River does not make numerous parts on site. Rock River designs and spec components, then receive them, perform inspections, complete them, assemble them into weapons and ship them out. The Rock River Arms factory is actually complete with a buffing and blasting room, where raw forgings become completed parts. Rock River Arms is truly a family business with the brothers Chuck and Mark Larson as well as their father and one of their sons working at the plant. Looking about the warehouse there were many boxes of rifle carrier groups, essentially the bolts of the rifles. Rock River Arms offers an almost countless number of chambering options for the basic AR platform. Once you own a lower half which consists of the stock and receiver, you can purchase upper halves (barrel, carrier group, and gas system) in all kinds of chambering and interchange them freely. There's even a company that offers a .410 shotgun upper half for the AR15 rifle.

    Components are measured as well as tested as they come in to the manufacturing facility and at various stages during production. Tested for hardness, testing is done all the way down to the flash hider. All of the little sub assemblies - sights, gas blocks, carrier groups, safeties, and so on -- come together at the stations where the upper halves and lower halves are put together. Once at a work station the gunsmith assembles the upper half of what will be a future complete rifle. The gunsmith takes special care to assemble the upper with the silver tube running along the top of the barrel which directs gas from the gas block to run the action. During the upper half assembly, the headspace gauges are used to examine the dimensions of the chamber. The bolt of a gun should close over the green GO‚ gauge but not close over the red‚ NO GO, which is slightly oversized. Cartridges can rupture, sometimes dangerously, in an oversized chamber. Rock River offers the choice of a standard trigger or a two-stage National Match trigger for serious target shooting. A two stage trigger is the recommended style for military rifle competitions such as the famous National Match at Camp Perry, Ohio. Pulling a two-stage trigger, you feel slack as the trigger moves a short distance, then a light, clean break. The Rock River Arms gunsmith will check the weight of the trigger pull by dangling a 4 1/ 2 lb weight from the trigger. If the weight does not trip the trigger, he will file the trigger sear to lighten the pull. Lighter trigger pulls are also available from leading Rock River Arms dealers. Lowers also come with options such as an oversized winter trigger guard, originally designed for police officers who needed to keep their hands inside warm gloves but still be ready to shoot in cold weather. Winter trigger guards work perfectly for winter coyote hunters as well. As the final pieces are assembled into a lower half of what will be the final rifle, this lower half could also be matched to an endless combination of barrel lengths, barrel contour, hand-guards and calibers.

    Once uppers and lowers are joined to complete the final rifle configuration they are tagged and ready for test firing. All rifles are custom built according to customer specifications.

    In the shipping area, parts come in, guns go out. There seems to be no end to the demand. Rifles usually are sitting on dealers shelves for a few days before they are gone. For dealers that take deposits, guns never even make it to the shelves before they are picked up by a local customer or shipped out again.

    Every rifle is sighted in and test fired before it leaves the factory. The Rock River Arms finisher loads the magazines prior to every rifle test fire. Using a fast bench loading tool, the finisher snaps 20-30 rounds into a magazine in an instant.

    Several times a day, assemblers and firearm testers load the Rock River van with weapons and take all of them away to the range. Shooting from the back of the vehicle, each and every firearm with sights is sighted in, and then test-fired for function. Testers shoot at least two magazines through the fully automatic guns. Who says semi automatics are not accurate? With barrels provided by Wilson Barrel, the main appeal of Rock River Arms rifles is that they shoot much better than advertised.

    Thanks to Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR15 BB2512 Tactical Operator 2 light weight, it's effortless to haul and the Rock River Arms AR-15 Model BB2512 Rock River Arms is even faster and easier to shoot. Fabricated with entirely leading-grade materials and built to the strictest requirements, this Rock River Arms AR15 Model BB2512 Rock River Arms Tactical Operator 2 is very accurate, sturdy, and reliable, and makes a fabulous addition to any rifle collection.

    The Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR-15 BB2512 Tactical Operator 2 rifle includes a Rock River Arms winter trigger guard and the ERGO Sure Grip. While I prefer a hard pistol grip, I have long strongly suggested use of pistol grips such as the ERGO that add a little material to the backstrap of the rifle. Standard AR pistol grips are too small for anyone who does not have child-size hands, and they encourage poor shooting technique by placing the second joint of the finger on the trigger. Replacement grips such as the ERGO correct that drawback. The rifles are equipped with the RRA Star safety/selector, which sticks out a bit more from the receiver than a mil-spec safety. It is not ambidextrous. The safety worked just like it should, but I like the appearance of the mil-spec design better probably because its what I'm used to. When I first picked up the Operator and tried the trigger, I was really astonished. As a general rule, production line triggers on AR-15s are horrible. Not so the Operator trigger. Its crisp, light, two-stage trigger that breaks right at 4 lbs -not what I was expecting at all. This was just before I realized that all the Operator rifles come equipped with Rock River Arms well-respected two-stage National Match trigger system, which includes a lightened hammer.

    You never know if you are going to like a gun unless you shoot it, and I was very interested how well the RRA Tactical Muzzle Brake would work. It looked well-designed, not to mention cool, but that was no assurance it would really work. It worked really well. When engaging targets at 10 yards with the Entry Operator equipped with an Aimpoint, I discovered that under full recoil the Aimpoint dot migrated upward one inch on the target before falling back down to its first position. This is excellent operation from a brake. I then tried the Operator on some IPSC targets at suburban engagement distances. With the help of the muzzle break, the muzzle did not move upward at all, even during rapid fire, I have to say, that the brake appeared to work really well. Between the efficient brake and the light trigger, how fast I could hit targets inside 25 yards with follow-up shots was entirely a test of how fast I could pull the trigger.

    Components are measured throughout the production stage. Components are tested for hardness. When testing is finished the come together at the respective assembly stations. Care is taken with every step of the upper and lower assemblies. Uppers are matched with various barrels and lowers are assembles usually are assembled with National Match triggers at 4 lbs and various stock combinations.

    As uppers and lowers are joined by a master gunsmith assembler, the firearms are tagged and prepared for the test fire phase of the product.

    In the shipping area, parts come in, guns go out. There seems to be no end to the demand. Rifles usually are sitting on dealers’ shelves for a few days before they’re gone.

    Thanks to Rock River Arms AR-15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms Operator 2 light weight, it is really easy to carry and the Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR-15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms Operator 2 is even simpler and easier to shoot. Engineered with specifically leading-grade materials and manufactured to the strictest specifications, this Rock River Arms AR-15 AR-15 BB2522 Operator 2 is exceedingly accurate, long lasting, and reliable, and makes a excellent addition to any firearm collection.

    The Operator butts tock is a six-position CAR-type set up with water tight storage compartments and multiple sling attachment points. The stock has a ribbed rubber butt pad that slides down with a push-button release to uncover the two storage compartments, sealed with O-rings. Each will hold either two AA batteries or 3 CR123 lithium batteries. As part of the package I had my selection of 4 rear sights: a traditional bolt-on A2 carry handle; a stand-alone rear sight; a RRA Dominator2 with an raised rail designed particularly for use with the EOTech Holosight; or the RRA tactical carry handle that features an elevated rail just below the level of the sights. The mil-spec magazines supplied with all Operator 2 Models are manufactured by NHMTG (Colt). For range work I equipped the Operator with a stand-alone rear sight behind an Aimpoint Comp ML2, and then tried the Operator with a Dominator2 rear sight from a friend combined with an EOTech 512 (AA battery model). For reliability testing I used a Trijicon 4x32 ACOG with no sights.

    Curiously, when running the same drills with the Operator furnished with an EOTech, I experienced the same result even though that rifle/scope mix is noticeably heavier. This may be an indication that the rifles weight doesn't change the felt recoil as much as the RRA brake design does.

    In addition to greater production by recognized AR15 vendors, each and every rifle producer that has a heartbeat seems to be making some variation of an AR-15 today. 50 % of those rifles are direct-impingement types with the same solid design envisioned by Eugene Stoner when it was first introduced more than 40 years ago.

    It's not often you come across a really very good tactical firearm at a seriously reduced price. The majority of of the time your made to forfeit value for high quality. Turns out like things are changing. A short while ago I finally after a short wait bought my very own Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms Operator 2 provided by my favorite nearest transfer dealer. I've been saving up my firearm dinero for nearly a twelve months.Since I started reading web content about the Rock River Arms AR-15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms and got a opportunity to fire my buddies at the public range, I recognized I had to have one. I haven't had a chance to fire the Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR-15 BB2522 Operator 2 yet, but I have been collecting some gear for the Rock River Arms AR-15 AR15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms while I was conserving my dinero.

    The Operator butts tock is a six-position CAR-type set up with water tight storage compartments and a number of sling attachment points. The stock has a ribbed rubber butt pad that slides down with a push-button release to uncover the two storage compartments, sealed with O-rings. Each will hold either two AA batteries or 3 CR123 lithium batteries.

Between the efficient brake and the light trigger, how fast I might hit targets inside 25 yards with follow-up shots was solely a test of how fast I could pull the trigger.
