sketch Posted January 15, 2013 Report Posted January 15, 2013 Eye doc congrats, im a month behind damn. Spaniky i herd a few months back all barrels were backordered. RRA said my order was being processed one month ago. Still no word from LGS or RRA <dontknow>
shepp Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Posted January 15, 2013 I see poly mags went up to $30.00,different sizes.Only 1 metal mag?My buddy accidentally ordered two poly mags for his dpms, when he told me this I told him they wouldn't work and I'd sell them here but he's a scatter brain......
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 My barrel is basic 16" as show on their website. LGS confirmed about 3 months ago that it was the barrel that was the delay. I read in this thread about the barrel shipment a month ago. It seems that was true. I don't know how many they got in or how soon they will work through the backlog of orders. I looked for mags on RRA site. The only thing listed is a mag loader for $30. I picked up several metal 20 round mags for $25 a couple of weeks ago at a gun show. Since then, I've seen rusted ones going for $30 and better ones for $50+.
unforgiven Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 These guys got some mags http://www.dsarms.com/
Rsquared Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Hey....hey....hey!! You spread that around Rene and I won't be able to stock up for my FAL OSW (bad-ass lil FAL)! <lmao>
unforgiven Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 :o oops my bad brother Ron <lmao> <laughs> Lookin at FAL also brother like the common mags. <thumbsup> Saw they had 13" barrel with what look like a 3" FH. ;D Just Between us ;).Just sayin <thumbsup>
Rsquared Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Yeah......mine is the 11" OSW. Like I said. One Bad-lil MO-FO! Gotta see the flames that come outta this thing at dusk. <laughs> Planning on swapping out to an AAC brake this weekend so I can use my can on it. But the brake alone should increase the flame actionSorry......realize that this is the RRA area. Couldn't contain myself.
unforgiven Posted January 16, 2013 Report Posted January 16, 2013 Larry Vickers had high praise for the FN-FAL rifle in 16".I liked the models with folding buttstock.Whats the difference between FAL and SA58? Are mags the same?
Rsquared Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Whats the difference between FAL and SA58? Are mags the same?Same rifle. Same "metric" pattern FAL mags. It only changes with the british L1A1 "inch" version. Go figure, that the brits would do something different than everybody else. <laughs>
planeflyer21 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 RRA LAR-8 uses both <thumbsup>Yup!Funny too. Not 5 years before RRA introduced the LAR-8, I got lectured on how it wasn't possible to do an AR with a FAL-type magazine. Another one of the "It isn't possible" engineers.Jon

98Z5V Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Bushmaster already had it out, as the BAR-10, long before they stopped production and sold the design rights to RRA. That was somewhere around 2005, when they ceased production and dropped the design.

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Not to change subjects, but I will. My rifle did show up today. :We need something other than a banana for a happy dance: That proves that RRA does still make LAR-8's. To all those still awaiting your delivery, have patience and it will pay off. I will post pics in the pic thread soon.

Spaniky73 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I spoke with RRA they said they would send tracking number when the order is shipped otherwise they will not give out any info to anyone reguarding an order that includes dealers.
