I ordered a Rock River Arms with a quad rail back in the fall, and I got a call today to say that it had arrived. When I ordered it I was under the assumption that it was among the best that a person could get. However after some forum reading I am not sure that I still think this is so.
I have reviewed the chart I understand that Colt, Noveske, or LMT are the probably viewed as the best. However I do not have ANY of the military weight ammo, and while I might like to buy some in the future, I would like to be able to shoot the cheaper civilian ammo as well. So for me that rules barrels with a 1:7 twist.
I have no obligation to buy the Rock River, and I have been considering the M&P15. From the chart it looks to be the best M-4 for me. Does anyone have any thoughts about its reliability and ability to be fixed (does it have special proprietary parts)? I have also thought about getting an AK but I don't have mags, ammo or anything for one. A compromise is the Sig 556, since it takes PMAGs and is AK based. Does anyone have any thoughts on its reliability? I do not know how available parts would be to fix it. I also don't like how Sig may not be living up to their reputation for quality in recent times. Or would the best thing to do, be to wait and order a SCAR when they become more economical?
Thanks!
