It’s a pistol with a long barrel and longer cartridge and shoulder stock...and it’s louder...that’s about it. Locally here in Hebron, KY,i bought Anderson Rifles’ version...just under $800.
I’ve been debating such a purchase for a long time. Currently I’m only chambered in .22 (sidearm and rifle) and .45 (sidearm) with 12 & 410 gauge shotguns.
I’m looking to pick up a S&W Governor to leverage the .45 and 410 and have also considered looking for a .45 rifle.
I’d prefer to get a longer range rifle such as a 30-06 or 30/30 as I’m gapped there currently, but would like to have the mag capacity of an AR/AK.
I enjoy longer range shooting as a challenge, but have never done anything formal in regards to loading or getting into some of the calculations.
Maybe I just need to make the call and increase my caliber range...
The Gun Digest Book of the AR 15, by Patrick Sweeney is one of the best manuals I’ve seen for anyone wanting to know how to familiarize himself with the firearm. It shows you how it works, how to clean and maintain the AR.
Your getting brass cased ammo for .30 rd?
Where?
Congratulations!
Now go shoot it. And shoot it some more.
You’re going to need sights or optics.
Primary Arms micro dot if you want a red dot sight. If you find it’s for you then you can pay up for an Aimpoint later if you feel the need.
Now buy lots of Magpul magazines to feed it! Either the 20rnd or 30rnd ones are great, and so far my experience with a 40 rounder has been excellent.
You’ll be very pleased with that Rock River. I know I am with mine.

Is that scope any good? How durable is it?
I need a Barret M82.
I *NEED* it.
If you feel something bad is in the air, it’s not. Gun control will STILL have no traction, ESPECIALLY because it was a Muslim attack. In a sane world there would be government giveout guns.
I’m really partial to the 20 rd. mags. 30 rounders are too long and seem to get in the way.
Ha, it’s funny how you can spot the guys that know what’s up.
OP, please take Saleman’s suggestion above regarding Primary Arms Optics. He is 100% spot on.
So, how you going to afford the ammo to feed it?
20s are nice. The only reason to have 30s or 40s is because it hacks off the gungrabbers.
5s and 10s are best at the range, IMHO.
“In a sane world there would be government giveout guns.”
1911s used to be $5 from the Government, and M1 carbines were $12. The world was nearly sane....once, a long time ago.
“And the ladies say “is that a potato in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?””
Or, as somebody said to me...”the potato goes in front.”
Crash: “The rose goes in the front, big guy”
Now that you’ve bought one, build another one.
Seriesly.
If you can change a tire, you can build an AR.
Initial startup might cost a bit more because of the tools required, but you only have to buy those once.
I built mine entirely at my computer desk.
I also just read that you’re originally from Colorado.
I’m in Denver, and the magazine restrictions simply mean that I get to take my family on road trips to Wyoming from time to time.
At least until we can get rid of those idiots who voted for that stupid law.
I’m not so keen on a straight up AR-15. I have a couple, but their use is limited. Unless you get an ARAK-21 or similar gas driven upper, you can’t make it into a short gun. And, at close range, I see a toss up between a big stopper like a 1911 or a totally hidable cc like a Ruger LCR.
And, if you are gonna pick someone off at a distance, then an AR-15 or equivalent barrelled for a 300 blackout is the tool for the job. Subsonic loaded, suppressed and scoped.
