What should be boycotted is this garbage blog. Well after reading this and let me add no love for blue Illinois my days with SA are over. Henry and Ruger get my votes for Americas Gunmakers. Cant beat that! Its like trying to work with Bloomberg himself. And then maybe. Didnt you read this article? Plenty of folks out there shooting LWRC, ArmaLite, DPMS who would argue theirs are reliable, accurate, & mo betta too. Was very interested in this new pistol too as a possible single-stack semi-auto alternative to my J-frame. Nobody moves a company to New York (Remington has moved most out). A big reason that these rifles shoot so well is the barrel. The barrels Rock River use come from the Connecticut-based company, Wilson Arms (wilsonarms.com). Wilson makes the barrel, contours it and starts the chambering process. James Jeffrey, the author's friend, Under no circumstances would they sell me any magazines. Along with lost new sales, this boneheaded move will kill resale values. Same here. When the Maryland Leftistlature passed the odious Gun Safety Act of 2013, making it illegal to purchase many of the firearms made by the venerable Beretta concern, they responded by building their new facility in Tennessee, giving Maryland a stalwart raised middle finger and taking a considerable amount of tax revenue with them.. Ive not the least doubt that the rest of Beretta will eventually follow. Couple of Butler Buildings, concrete pad to support machinery loading, movers and a power hookup. It washis lobbyist whostood aside on a bill that rations everyday Illinoisans to nine firearm transfers per year. Anytown on I80 feels like the Chicago area to the downstaters. Both are were on their way to selling over a quarter million of Springfield product this year. Enjoy shooting it, and the second one if you buy one. Other places have them for $200.00. Obviously Springfield and others have not learned this lesson and are going down the same road. Many companies make mistakes, sometimes huge. A whole lot of gun owners see the deal as a sell-out. WebRock River Arms LAR-15 Lightweight Mountain Rifle | MT1800X 5.56 NATO (223 Rem), 16" Chrome-Moly Lightweight BBL, Semi-Automatic, 6-Position Black Stock, Black Finish, RRA Lightweight, 30+1 Rds. Was also saving up for an m1a. Im not buying a damn thing from Springfield and there is NO EXPIRATION DATE ON THAT. Indiana has a good climate for manufacturers of firearms, and I wouldnt mind seeing a few more ffls open up shop near me in Northwest Indiana, either. We need more FFLs down here so there will be some competition. WebSo What Happened At Rock River Arms & Springfield Armory??? As an Illinois dealer, I will no longer stock, sell or support Rock River Arms or Springfield Armory products. He might want to eject before the SS Springfield capsizes. Divide & conquer. I have a Rock River PDS carbine. In order to try to get a lock on about 1.6 million FOID holders in Illinois, Springfield has angered the other 80 million gun owners in the rest of the nation. What part of their history am I missing Gov? Somehow, I get the idea the House will be a cakewalk for any anti-gun bill compared to the Senate, which this one has already passed. Illinoying is pushing to get shut down. CTD does our best to price our products at market value. If RRA didnt know about this and, as a sign of their disgust, drops their funding and membership in the trade group youd still hold them accountable? If youre looking for a good, dependable AR at a reasonable price, I dont think you Like other gun-manufacturers Springfield can move its operations to a gun-friendly state. The CMMG MkW-15 XBE Anvil gets the top pick for enthusiasts that handload or shoot a lot. I dont have anything from either of the turncoat manufacturers and based on their actions, I never will. We need the pistols to get to our rifles anyway. Built on the companys RRAGE upper and lower receiver and handguard assemblies, the pistol delivers a sleek profile. What flavor is it, and how much do you want? So an opportunity to block others selling in Illinois seemed like a quick and dirty way to make a few more bucks. I would say that Ruger has done more to support the 2A than all other companies combined. If people werent buying at these prices than there would be no market. Every damn one of you bad asses crying I wont buy from them again would have done the same thing. Please focus on customer relations and positioning strategies. Thank God we have a Rural King now here local. Customer service beyond any reproach. Weve got three very active groups on the ground in Illinois promoting GOTV campaigns and spreading the word. If signed into law, the bill his lobbyist declined to oppose will drive many dealers out of business with its onerous and expensive restrictions and requirements. As has been said by numerous others, that Springer I had thought about buying just got thrown under the bus. There is NOTHING I need from a company that is obviously manipulating the system for themselves. If CTD notices panic buying, shuts down their site and reprices everything, thats their right. RRA should be punished too. Were pulling out of IFMA and regret that this happened. And dont give me this they have changed nonsense. I know I wont be buying anything else from springfield armory. It is the fault of the people in Illinois. Some mightsay IFMAs change of heart might not have made a definitive difference. Hislobbyist will continue to fight and protect dealers and gun owners? Hes told several industry types that he had no contact with IFMA lobbyist Jay Keller and knew nothing of this carve-out. Of course lobbyists have the highest ethical standards, so thats just crazy talk. Apparently, John Smith isnt an advocate of the constitution or specifically the second amendment. An American didnt screw all other American gun-owners. When you need mags that you can count on with each and every shot, make sure you turn to Rock River Arms! That alone is enough to put them out of business. They ONLY DO WHAT THEIR CLIENTS TELL THEM TO DO. Beretta (ex-MD) and Remington (ex-NY) make your statements look foolish. I ended up buying an Honor Defense Honor Guard. Very pleased with it, as it has most of the features I wanted on a CC weapon. With all the gun control in northern Illinois how the hell can they screw all of us like this! Thankfully, we still have two more chances to stop this travesty of a bill. IMO, this last election postponed the literal civil war Ive been advocating for for over 10 years. Rugers stated public position was screw every other gun manufacturer and screw the American gun owners, as long as Ruger makes it and we want government contracts! The Henry ri fle was made by the New Haven Ar ms Company. If IFMA had stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the NRA-ILA, the Illinois State Rifle Association, Guns Save Lifeand the National Shooting Sports Foundation working as a team to oppose this egregiousbill wed have had a good chance of depriving anti-gunners of a badly needed win. THEY MUST BE BOYCOTTED INTO BANKRUPTCY. Id bet a bunch of employees would jump at the chance go move from IL to TN or MO or TX. Gun owners should have bankrupted Ruger immediately, but they didnt. Now I wish I had not. Asit should. September 30, 2010 By Greg Rodriguez. There should be a hall of shame for betrayals (and later repentances) by gun companies. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/28141995/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/illinois-has-long-legacy-public-corruption/, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_state_and_local_politicians_convicted_of_crimes. It will make my future purchases easier because two manufacturers are automatically removed from my search and consideration. Frankly, Im wondering how Im going to sell my existing inventory.. S&W was sold for 12% of its former value. Does anyone really buy RRAs BS, We didnt know? theyre NOT trapped in Illinois,they can relocate,same as other gun companies have done. They must be put out of business for their treachery. Might want to rethink Ruger as well. * How to order a firearm: See The Guide. Ive bought 4 guns in the last year and a half since they opened their store. thats what Illinois is hoping for stand our ground, Springfield got me right in my Grip Zone with this move, bu-bye SA. If theres something worse than a fanboy, its a fanboy fudd. I see how you fired a shot across IFMAs bow last week. Its not just selling, genius. Ruger didnt compromise, they wrote the AWA and betrayed every American gun owner in a most serious way. AND everyone that the lobbyist represents must be in agreement. Damn shame. Smith and Ruger more than compensated for erroneous thinking. Glad to see TTAG not shy away from it. All things considered, a Henry Big Boy in .44mag is more likely to see the inside of my safe than a M1A1. So Rock River Arms story is complete crap and a bald faced LIE on the order of, I did not have sex with that women. Should have just stuck to the point that hey, you can do anything you want to our dealers as long as you leave us out of it. If youve already implemented them, great. I have LOUDLY mentioned their treachery on the dozens of FB groups I belong to. Magpul moved to WY. $14.95 Per Firearm One $9.99 Charge For Any Amount of Accessories I hope that it will bankrupt them, for it appears to be the only way these gun companies will learned to to alienate their comsumers. Theyd screw over their grandmother for a dime. I think they and Illinois deserve each other and I hope they both end up on the wrong end of history. Thats not fighting to protect gun owners. Never give one inch or miles will be lost. If discounted to $0, maybe. business or not your customers are your lively hood. The news of Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms selling Illinois gun dealers and gun owners down the river continues to spread among The People of The Gun. No offense intended. Bill Ruger retired from the company in 2000 and died in 2002. The vast majority of companies can do what they want to, but have have to insist that firearms companies fight for the 2nd EVEN WHEN ITS NOT IN THEIR COMPLETE SELF INTEREST TO DO SO. After further review, Rock River Arms, Inc. (RRA) is immediately severing all ties with the Illinois Firearms Manufacturers Association (IFMA). That said, this just breaks my heart to see this moron Reese damage the brand. To address these issues, various proprietary chambers exist, such as the Wylde chamber (Rock River Arms)[14] or the ArmaLite chamber, which are designed to handle both 5.56 mm NATO and .223 Remington equally well. Imagine, a corrupt Illinois politician! I think that if gun owners boycotted every company into oblivion that had to compromise at some point there wouldnt be any gun manufacturers around. I have a BM-59 kit that still needs to be built. Which would help with elimination if in the future. That doesnt change whats actually been proven that was three years ago. Neither will have the working capitol to sustain a relocation. Rock River Arms earned their reputation by manufacturing some of the most accurate and reliable semi-auto rifles for the law enforcement and civilian markets. I would have called my lawyer, the NRA and a publicist. All evidence to the contrary? Its enough of a turnaround that I forgive their earlier sins.. Peoplr lose jobs, get divorced, buy better guns and so on. Did you expect anything less than shady from the Illinois legislature? These fat dumb and happy political hacks arent used to burning time and money on issues this far out. Theyve earned back the support of 2A advocates, imo. Their entire C Suite should resign and they need to prove themselves. Its GENESEO and its still about 3 hours from Chicago. 3) Lobbyist got paid by someone else to convince his clients this was a slick deal. Send a signal to IL Senators and the Governor that supporting the bill is politically a trainwreck. Bummer, I was considering a Springfield 1911 at some point. The Springfield name is going to carry an odor, no matter how good a particular firearm might be. The RBG-1S is available in .308 Win./7.62x51 and 6.5 Creedmoor, with a 20-, 22- or 24-inch barrel, and a black, green or tan stock. The silent majority will get the shaft, not gonna be any civil war, get over yourself. Rock Rivers AR builds are superb, and they come in at a price thats quite reasonable (starting at $1,585). You are both dead to me now. As a collector of modern handguns, I was very interested in Springfields new XD-E and was hoping to find one as soon as they became available until all of this political posturing took place in Illinois (I live in neighboring Indiana). It happens ALL THE TIME, and with companies much larger than RRA. Who the hell made this business decision and have they been fired yet? No they dont.
