I dont think so. If they were pissed about anything I would guess it was because of all of the business they are and have lost to the other guys. Again, my post was just what they told me so take it for what its worth. Good guys but baised.

If you had the choice between a stock Rock River Entry Tactical at $925 or the S&W M&P15 at $985, which would you recommend?

I have two Bushmasters. Both have over 7,500 rounds through them. Both the Devastator and the heavy barreled rifle have NEVER failed to feed, eject, and function. The shortie holds 1.5 inch at 100 and that is more than enough accuracy for the intended purpose of the weapon. The heavy barreled gun shoots sub-moa with decent commercial ammo - and better with handloads.
The best sugestion that I can give is to always use GOOD magazines, keep it clean ( Clean after 500 roiunds or ALL ARs will get sluggish and will, sooner or later, fail to function.), and forget the foolishness that the .223 bullet is a "sniper's weapon".
The M16/AR15 platform is a combat platform intended for shredding the jungle and those hiding in it! The "accuracy issue" should be restricted to off-hand and casual rest positions. If you can put three rounds into a 12"x12" target, on demand, at 100 yards, under field conditions, and your weapon NEVER ceases to function, you are a rare, and effective rifleman - and the weapon is doing what it was designed to do.
For "sniping" purposes in real war there are two schools of thought; bolt action rifles for 2 man teams; semi-autos for "squad support sniping". Both have strong points and supporters, but a 30 year veteran of the SEAL teams, and a close friend, instructs me thus: "The AK-47 is the best fighting weapon currently available to most civilians. I use one and I can have anything I want on an op. I carried a Stoner in Viet Nam and they were great when they kept working. In battle now I use the AK-47 and if we need to take action against an enemy that is over 200 yards away I call in artillery or air support. Out to 200 yards the AK will get the job done."
I would bet my life on my Bushmaster rifles, but now I am practicing hard with an AK-47 and hoping that I never need to call in artillery or air support - and the G3 is also a nice all-around weapon but too heavy. My SEAL friend points out that he would rather carry more LIGHTER ammo than more rifle. He carried, in addition to all his other gear, three LLAWS rockets and 600 rounds for his Stoner - that is from a real warrior with three tours of duty in Viet Nam alone.
Good luck -

John from Seneca Arms really likes the S&W15...he was able to get one before they were released because his only game is high power matches, so S&W shipped him one...John said he thinks they will sell like hotcakes.
I was looking into an RRA...how is the leadtime for RRA? I know for a while they were backed up...are they caught up now?

i too am looking at getting an AR. i shoot long guns left handed so i thought about getting a STAG lefty. i used to shoot my M16 ok so i don't really think i have to get a lefty since there aren't many choices.
I have been looking at the RRA M4 styles to use for home defense and range fun. i also want a long AR for long range accuracy. i guess i just need to get both when i get the cash. i have a list of weapons i want, i just need to win the lottery so i can get them all.
