Hey, Thanks...
Because of your response, I decided to look at Rock River Arms.
After doing alot of research, and talking to dealers, that’s the one I am going to go with!
I put my deposit in to them yesterday! The “Pro Series Government”....
Pricey, but I don’t care, and from what I have hear, that is one of the best rifles out there made!
Thank you!

Hey, I'm just glad I could help... Now that you have made your own decision, I'm going to tell you something. I sold about 40 RRA's this past summer, working behind the tables at gunshows for a dealer. In my opinion, they do make the finest ARs out there. I will not build an AR on anything other than a Rock River lower receiver.
When the DEA put out the request for bids on their carbines, Bushmaster had submitted a bid. When Bushmaster found out that Rock River Arms had submitted a bid, they (Bushmaster) withdrew their bid from competition - I guess they figured it was better to withdraw from the competition than to have word get out that the Rock River Arms weapon was the winner of a contract for which Bushmaster had bid.
I just plain like Rock River Arms' quality... Besides, there is something cool about having 5 variations of the AR-15 with all of the five having consecutive serial numbers! (I managed this because I build all of my own AR's.) A lightweight carbine, an M-4 with the 16" (non-AOW) barrel, a standard 20" barreled rifle, a 20" HBAR rifle, and a 24 stainless varmint barreled rifle.
Be glad you went with the RRA... Thier 7.62 AR is the rifle Eugene Stoner would have build if he had been able to have nearly 50 years worth of hindsight. It is just about, IMO, the perfect 7.62mm semi... Accuracy, parts availability, value for the dollar. OUTSTANDING!
