New MSR Delivers “Monolithic-Style” at an Affordable Price.
Colona, IL –-(Ammoland.com)- Rock River Arms, the leader in specialized Modern Sporting Rifles, has developed a 5.56mm semi-auto that advances the clean, trim look and performance of the monolithic-style upper receiver/handguard design but at a price point more in line with a conventional upper receiver and free-float handguard assembly.
The Rock River Arms RRAGE Carbine builds on Rock River Arms’ new extruded flat top upper receiver.
Made of 6061T aluminum, this receiver exhibits the clean lines and defined angles commonly associated with more expensive billet uppers while delivering comparable strength and precision dimensions.
Matched to the receiver is a similarly constructed 6061T aluminum free-float handguard that blends almost seamlessly with the upper to provide an elegant, unitized profile and balanced strength and rigidity across the optics platform. The CAR-length handguard boasts a full-length MS1913 top rail and features the popular MLOK rail configuration for easy accessory adaptation. The MLOK system along the side and bottom surfaces lets shooters run a clean handguard or add only the rail accessories needed to help maintain a sleek, snag-free signature.
Combined, the RRAGE upper receiver and handguard set a new standard in MSR design and performance.
Other key components of the RRAGE include a lightweight 16-inch chrome moly barrel, A2 flash suppressor, carbine-length gas system with a low-profile gas block, single-stage trigger, A2 grip, and the RRA six-position tactical carbine buttstock.

When and if the manufacturer opts to provide their rifles with useable iron sights, meaning rear sight adjustable for windage and elvation, do let me know, as I might then be interested. Please spare me the sad songs about everyone using optical sights.
Stupid RRAGE. Just what we need something that implies death. Again stupid
Agreed. The name doesn’t help especially with all the litigious socialists out there.
Considering that anyone can build a nice AR for around 4-500 with a nice barrel,etc., why buy this? And i agree, the name is probably not the best idea in today’s climate.
@starfreak74 Why aren’t you dead . Idiot .
That doesn’t look like a monolithic upper at all. There’s a clear spot where the handguard meets the receiver and a gap on the top rail.
Nice, but needs to be made out of 7075 aluminum, and it also needs a new name. How about simply Mono15?
Wow. Another AR.
Built in Illinois where they are trying to outlaw these ugly black guns. How does that add up.
1:9 twist? Most manufacturers are at least 1:8, if not 1:7. Guess they don’t want you launching those heavier projectiles. I’ll stick with my Windham Weaponry with 1:7.
