He kept his marginal Mini-14 from hitting the list, selling out the gun owner in the process! I dont think youre using that word right.

Audits of the players, including the lobbyist and relevant politicians, and FOIAs or something for pending investigations against all the same could prove enlightening.

NOW all I can think is SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! Whats more, Larson seems genuinely appalled by what happened. They spent weeks trying to gin up interest in the XD-E introduction with their mysterious ads, and it was all for nothing. If your going to bash or boycott one then bash and boycott all. Thank God we have a Rural King now here local. Chill out and stop trying to ruin a great company. A big reason that these rifles shoot so well is the barrel. The barrels Rock River use come from the Connecticut-based company, Wilson Arms (wilsonarms.com). Wilson makes the barrel, contours it and starts the chambering process. Except they are both under different ownership today. Either dont have any or I overpay to have the stock and have it at a price that everyone individual doesnt want to buy the whole lot at once. He might want to eject before the SS Springfield capsizes. Its their prerogative. People Of The Gun have long memories.

Specifications and Features: Rock River Arms AR-15 Magazine AR0116N30 .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO 30 Round Capacity Anti-Tilt Follower Proven Reliability Now Im off to call Cabelas and inform them of SAs treachery and why i will not buy from them as long as they carry SA product, http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search.cmd?recordsPerPage=18&No=0&N=0&nl=true&Ntk=AllProducts&Ntt=Springfield+Armory&search=Search.

I have an SA Profesional that I really like and was strongly considering a Custom Carry, but this turn of events gives me a real pause to that idea.

After the next civil war, we wont allow another one. Seems like a stand up guy to me. After further review, Rock River Arms, Inc. (RRA) is immediately severing all ties with the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association (IFMA). We feel that IFMAs integrity is compromised and we will not be a part of the organization. Also, RRA derives the bulk of its money from government and LE contracts so youll have a really hard time bankrupting them with a civvie sales boycott. Meanwhile, theres another, ahem, firearm blog, that refuses to address the SA/RRA issue. Pretty small and isolated country town. Instead, we were undercut by aself-serving supposed ally. In short, this means rifle-makers need to adapt, and one company taking that step is Rock River Arms (RRA) with its LAR-15 Operator III in 5.56mm NATO. Now I wish I had not. I think a hit to Springfield sales should get them leaning on the IFMA (who should be facing a hit to subscribers) enough for the IFMA to not fold in the future. THEY MUST PARISH AND EVERYONE WHO DOESNT BACK ME IM GONNA CURSE AT AND BE MEAN TO!!! Illinois cant shut down a business that way No there is no way around it, RRA and Springfield decided their Illinois customers where not worth the trouble. +1, they are a bunch of liars praying on the ignorant.

Illinoying is pushing to get shut down. And theyre telling their friends. And rra. Youre welcome to come visit and help during the next election cycle. The bills author was (mostly) Rugers attorneys. So, buying 5 and selling 4 is the limit. Grow the hell up and when you get some big boy panties and own your own business you will understand how it works. Sooner or later they are going to destroy you. Im not buying a damn thing from Springfield and there is NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THAT. That said, this just breaks my heart to see this moron Reese damage the brand. is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders. As far as the betrayal, bear in mind that it was the act of a couple of people and unfortunately there are plenty of freedom loving 2nd Amendment supporters working for SA that will be harmed by their bad judgement. If youre looking begin your 3-Gun or short-stage PRS competition endeavors, the Rock River Arms RRAGE 2G may be your ticket. Web50%. What gets me is there has been plenty of time and opportunity for damage control or to save face but they havent done anything to fix what theyve done. After the 2004 sunset of the Assault Weapons Ban, AR pistols developed rapidly and have become popular. Helps to have the older experience but not insurmountable. As if they want to implode. I would say that Ruger has done more to support the 2A than all other companies combined. But thats only a fraction of his treachery. At least the company would survive, even if the move was costly.

When the Maryland Leftistlature passed the odious Gun Safety Act of 2013, making it illegal to purchase many of the firearms made by the venerable Beretta concern, they responded by building their new facility in Tennessee, giving Maryland a stalwart raised middle finger and taking a considerable amount of tax revenue with them.. Ive not the least doubt that the rest of Beretta will eventually follow. The NRA would likely throw you and your fliers in the dumpster. Bullshit. If people werent buying at these prices than there would be no market. My time stinks apparently. Wrong. Im both an Illinois resident and a SA collector with over half of my collection being custom and box SA products. IF WE LOSE RRA BECAUSE OF THIS HYSTERICAL REACTION, thats a blow to liberty. Or how much it was going to take to replace them? It only sells a 100% American Made product using American Labor. Im not selling it because of this cluster, but Im not buying from RRA again either.

Until I see some evidence that they knew of and/or supported this I will not rush to blame RRA for what a trade industry group that they happen to fund did. Bill Ruger was key in the implementing of the 94 AWB, refusing to sell evil 20+ round magazines to anyone but .gov entities? Some would disagree. From what I gathered from this article and all the information I viewed about this organization its hard to say just how much control SA and RRA has over the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association. I would have called my lawyer, the NRA and a publicist. job creation they call it (bribery is such a dirty word).
