Taking a Look at How to Customize an LAR-15

We recently lucked into a shipment of law enforcement trade-in Rock River Arms LAR-15s and decided to play around with one a bit.

The rifles in question seem to be very close to a model that RRA sold between 2008 and around 2012, the Pro-Elite, but are not marked as such.

While they all have seen much use and, in some cases, light modifications either by agency armorers or officer-users, they all typically share the same features, such as an A4 upper receiver, 16-inch chrome-moly barrel, RRA's in-house tactical muzzle brake and flip front sight/gas block assembly, an A.R.M.S. #40L low profile flip-up rear sight, Ergo SureGrip pistol grip, six-position tactical CAR stock, full-length top pic rail, and a Daniel Defense 12.0 FSPM quad-rail handguard.

While "ouncers" will complain that the quad rail adds a ton of weight to the gun, we found an average specimen of this lot to hit the scales at 7 pounds, 7 ounces unloaded and without optics or sling.

The RRA LAR-15 trade-ins currently in the Guns.com Vault include both guns in Good condition either with a mag or without at about a $40 price difference between the two.
