Rock River Arms .243 upper

[josiewales]

Does anybody know anything about the Rock River Arms Ar upper in .243? Is it an ar10 upper or an Ar15 upper? I would find a .243 Ar15 MUCH more useful than one in 5.56. I really like .243 and I think an Ar in .243 is sweet, but I don't want to buy a piece of junk. If you know of a decent Ar in .243 let me know. Thanks for your input in advance.

Seems to me that it would have to be for an AR-10 because of the length of the .243 cartridge. Roughly the same as a .308.

.243 requires the bigger ar platform. IMHO this is where RRA falls off there stuff is nice in the bigger platform but doesn't run with the original sr-25/ dpms platform mags and some parts. I'm a Rock river fan but I wish they spec out a "normal" ar10. Even armalite started to make dpms style relievers. With the available 308 pmags and parts I think it was a smart move.
