requesting info on Rock River Arems Piston Driven carbines?

[greendevil41]

Anyone have experience or info on these carbines? This is the one with the monolithic upper rail, adjustable gas system, forward ambi charging system like a HK G-3 and side folding stock. Very similar in concept to a Bushmaster ACR. This particular one also has the tri-rail fore end.

It is in a pawn shop and seems to priced well under the on-line prices I'm seeing making me think they priced it as a regular D.I. AR-15 type.

Trying to figure out if it's worth picking up.

Thanks in advance, Mike

Is this the one that’s like 1700 new?

I’d say snag that deal and if you don’t like it just make your money back on arfcom

Thanks for the replies. That's what I was seeing too. Just wanted to check in here and make sure it wasn't a known POS with a bad rep.

Curious minds want to know...over or under $800?

[greendevil41]

Under. Asking price is $719.00. Hence my concern and confusion. They are holding it for me and I'm going back today to tear it down for a detailed inspection. Barring any unforeseen issues it looks like it will be going on layaway.

I see what you did there, well played!

If your going to flip it, jump on it.

For a shooter, there are a lot better options out there.
