So here’s the list:
Spikes FN 16" Middy 1/7 barrel
BattleComp 1.5
Troy Alpha 15" FDE rail
BCM BCG
ACE Skeleton A1 fixed stock
RRA upper/lower
RRA 2-stage match trigger (I actually like it. We’ll see)
Thoughts, comments, gripes and bitches are welcome 
I prefer a lighter setup but there is nothing wrong with what you listed. Shoot the hell out of it and make sure it works with your chosen ammo and rock on. That barrel is as good as any.
What do you want from this post. You haven’t asked any questions, posted any pictures, or gave your opinion on what you do or do not like about your build.
Read the stickies and use the search button!
Give that trigger about 1000 rounds and you will definitely see! I have one that is a real crisp single stage trigger now. I have no idea what happened to the first stage. I replaced it with a Giessele and never looked back. I keep the RRA trigger on one of my low use rifles just to show people what happens to them after a few rounds.
Pics are forthcoming. I was looking for opinions and discussion. If you would rather pass, be my guest.
As far as the FCG goes, I know. I’ve heard a ton of horror stories about it. At some point, I’ll swap it out of both my rifles. But with roughly 1600 rounds through my Elite Comp and about 500ish through the RRA that is about to be unsuckified, I still like them. Shoot it till it breaks, then upgrade.
P.S. I have an entirely new 2-stage group in my spare parts kit, just in case
Get rid of the RRA trigger.
They are every bit as bad as you are told. If you really don’t believe me…
Speaking of Geiselle, anyone know the name of that company that sells Usgi Triggers finished by Geiselle but they’re pretty cheap? It’s on the tip of my tongue
IIRC they were like $45

The company was founded by Bill Geiselle’s wife.
Awesome. Much appreciated. Yeah, I might as well go with a few of these.
I better get busy trying to sell 3 RRA 2-stage trigger groups over on TOS :thank_you2:
Good luck with that, tell them RRA stands for “really, really awesome.”
What is it about the RRA that needs to be “unsucked”? Your posts suggest that everything is functioning correctly. Other than the “horror stories” that you heard and that have been posted about ad nausium, you don’t mention that yours is bad or even going bad. Just curious what the issue is?
Dude. That’s great!
Good point. No issues really, I just want to build a top tier gun and why not cannibalize my shitty RRA to do it. Upper and Lower will be the only RRA parts when it’s assembled.
Here’s how it sits now:
RRA 16" middy non CL barrel 1/9
RRA flip up front sight gas block
RRA shitty muzzle break (pinned)
Middy plastic forend handguards
RRA poorly staked carrier key
So better barrel, rail, break, low pro gas block, BCG, and trigger and I think it’ll be decent. Up until now this has been my “here, you can shoot this one” gun for my girlfriend/cousins. I have some Tax return money burning a hole in my pocket, what can I say?
Edited to add: New barrel and gas block in the mail. Going to order rail, break, BCG, ect. shortly. I will post pics once assembled
Can you post pictures of the rifle? Especially the BCG.
As it is now? Or once the new parts get here and it’s assembled?
Edited to add: I’ll post the before AND after pics. Might be fun. Stay tuned.
Best way to unsuck that rifle is to sell it and get a colt, bcm, etc.
This is the best suggestion so far IMO otherwise since the rifle seems to be functional, I would shoot the hell out of it and train with it.
Great, I want to see both.
I don’t know how adamant you are about rebuilding your upper, but here’s some personal experience on my part.
My first AR was a RRA. I sold the complete upper on TOS for $450 and bought a 16" BCM complete upper (already had a BCM BCG and gunfighter CH waiting) for $399.
You do the math.
FTR, I replaced the RRA because it was terribly prone to misfeeds. i eliminated mags as the cause. The same PMAGS have never malfunctioned once in my BCM.
This was good for my very first, then I saw the light (BCM)!
Butler Creek scope covers on the unsuckified painted Nikon scope, unsuckified UTG (made in Amreica) quad rail for 56.00, CAA forward grip (unsuckified). National match 2-stage shitty ass trigger (couldn’t unsuckify this, gravel pit comes to mind), and an unsuckified shitty bi-pod! Somehow I manage to make prarie dogs explode.
