5:25 pm	Tactical rifle decision time? How about the Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR-15 BB2522 Operator 2 R Recently, Rock River Arms introduced a new series of rifles. The Operator 2 line incorporates three various types of Rock River Arms revered direct-gas-operated LAR-15 style rifles. All of them share some common attributes, and the weapons take their name from the new Operator stock Rock River Arms has recently unveiled. Rock River Arms started out constructing very nice 1911s, years before it was cool, the Corona, IL, company got into the AR-15 field. Its firearms were so well made that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency chose Rock River to produce its issue rifles available currently as the LAR-15 Pro-Series Government Model. Rock River Arms was founded 11 years ago by 2 brothers, Mark and Chuck Larson, who worked out of a garage. It has developed progressively ever since and today employs in excess of ninety folks. Although Rock River produces weapons for several govt agencies, the particular majority of their sales are to the civilian market place. Rock River Arms offers fifty or so versions of weapons, however customers can make up their very own configurations, utilizing numerous components alternatives - sights, rails, stocks, barrel length and contour, and more. Rock River will also add accessories like flashlights and red dot sights. Rock River Arms is like an a la carte workshop for rifles. Rock River doesn’t make many parts on site. Rock River designs and specifications components, then receive them, perform inspections, complete them, assemble them into weapons and ship them out. The Rock River Arms facility is complete with a buffing and blasting area, where raw forgings become finished parts. Rock River Arms is genuinely a family small business with the brothers Chuck and Mark Larson as well as their father and one of their sons working at the plant. Looking about the factory there were many boxes of rifle carrier groups, essentially the bolts of the rifles. Rock River Arms offers an almost countless number of chambering options for the basic AR platform. Once you own a lower half which consists of the stock and receiver, you can easily acquire upper halves (barrel, carrier group, and gas system) in all kinds of chambering and interchange them freely. There's even a company that offers a .410 shotgun upper half for the AR15 rifle. Components are measured and examined as they arrive in to the manufacturing facility and at various stages during production. Tested for hardness, testing is done all the way down to the flash hider. All of the little sub assemblies - sights, gas blocks, carrier groups, safeties, and so on -- come together at the stations where the upper halves and lower halves are put together. Once at a work station the gunsmith assembles the upper half of what will be a future complete rifle. The gunsmith takes special care to assemble the upper with the silver tube running along the top of the barrel which directs gas from the gas block to run the action. During the upper half assembly, the headspace gauges are used to examine the dimensions of the chamber. The bolt of a gun must close over the green “go” gauge but not close over the red “no go,” which is slightly oversized. Cartridges can rupture, occasionally dangerously, in an oversized chamber. Rock River offers the choice of a standard trigger or a two-stage National Match trigger for serious target shooting. A two stage trigger is the favorite style for military rifle competitions such as the famous National Match at Camp Perry, Ohio. Pulling a two-stage trigger, you feel slack as the trigger moves a short distance, then a light, clean break. The Rock River Arms gunsmith will check the weight of the trigger pull by hanging a 4 1/ 2 lb weight from the trigger. If the weight doesn’t trip the trigger, he will file the trigger sear to lighten the pull. Lighter trigger pulls are also available from leading Rock River Arms dealers. Lowers also come with options such as an oversized winter trigger guard, originally designed for police officers who needed to keep their hands inside warm gloves but still be ready to shoot in cold weather. Winter trigger guards work perfectly for winter coyote hunters as well. As the final pieces are assembled into a lower half of what will be the final rifle, this lower half could also be matched to an endless combination of barrel lengths, barrel contour, hand-guards and calibers. Once uppers and lowers are joined to complete the final rifle configuration they are tagged and ready for test firing. All rifles are custom built according to customer specifications. In the shipping area, parts come in, guns go out. There seems to be no end to the demand. Rifles usually are sitting on dealers’ shelves for a few days before they’re gone. For dealers that take deposits, guns never even make it to the shelves before they are picked up by a local customer or shipped out again. Preparation for the firing test begins with the loading of magazines which is a full time job. The finisher snaps 20-30 rounds into waiting magazines in preparation for the final function test Several times a day, assemblers and firearm testers load the Rock River vehicle with rifles and take all of them out to the range. Shooting from the back of the van, each and every firearm with sights is sighted in, and then test-fired for function. Testers shoot at least two magazines through the fully automatic guns. Who says semi automatics aren’t accurate? With barrels provided by Wilson Barrel, the principal allure of Rock River Arms rifles is that they shoot significantly better than advertised. The fit and finish of the Operator 2 rifles are fantastic and definitely a step above the typical, rack-grade, Parkerized mil-spec AR on the market these days, although they are barely more expensive than those inferior grade types. The Operators upper and lower receivers fit together so tightly I needed a tool to work out the push pins. While the Rock River Arms Operators don't have pistons or monolithic fore-ends or flip-down rear sights, they have everything you need in an accurate, reliable semiautomatic rifle, at a price tag that in the past would have been unheard of. The Rock River Arms AR-15 BB2522 Operator 2 is constructed with a 16 1/2" Chrome Moly barrel for accuracy, Rock River Arms Tactical Muzzle Break with exceptional signature reduction, Flip forward sight, Rock River Arm Quad-rail hand guard and much more... The Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR15 BB2522 Operator 2 also comes with such high quality upgrades as rugged fixed rear sight and flip forward sight to provide additional ruggedness and cosmetic appeal. With the forward flip sight feature, the Rock River Arms Tactical Rifle AR-15 Model BB2522 Rock River Arms is set for action to further add a scope or red dot. The Operator butts tock itself is a six-position CAR-type assembly with water tight storage compartments and multiple sling connection points. The stock has a ribbed rubber butt pad that slides down with a push-button release to uncover the two storage compartments, sealed with O-rings. Each will hold either 2 AA batteries or 3 CR123 lithium batteries. As part of the package I had my choice of four rear sights: a traditional bolt-on A2 carry handle; a stand-alone rear sight; a RRA Dominator2 with an raised rail designed specifically for use with the EOTech Holosight; or the RRA tactical carry handle that features an elevated rail just below the level of the sights. The mil-spec magazines supplied with all Operator 2 Models are manufactured by NHMTG (Colt). For range work I equipped the Operator with a stand-alone rear sight behind an Aimpoint Comp ML2, and then tried the Operator with a Dominator2 rear sight from a friend paired with an EOTech 512 (AA battery model). For precision testing I used a Trijicon 4x32 ACOG with no sights. I also shot the Operator alongside another AR-15 with no brake, just a standard A2 birdcage flash hider, and the Operators brake did not seem to be noticeably louder. This is an important consideration when using a rifle indoors. Listed here are the features just as shipped from my web based dealer.
