No longer for sale.

I have a Rock River Ams Elite Op 2 I am selling.   16" Barrel.  Chromed bolt and carrier.  Midlength gas system.   Maybe 250 rounds through it.  It is guaranteed to 1 MOA and has functioned flawlessly with all ammo.

ERGO grip.  RRA collapsible stock with storage.  RRA tactical muzzle brake.   Eotech 556 (cr123's).  A2 carry handle.  Grip-Pod Industries "Grippod"--Military spec.   GG&G flip up BUIS.   Flip up front sight.   Magpul B.A.D lever.   Magpul ambi sling plate.  Magpul Sling..Singlepoint/ 2 point.  Magpul rail protectors.  10 or more Magpul PMAG 30's.  2000 rounds Federal 5.56.

Gun is great looking, dependable and is as accurate as they say.  I just do not shoot it.  I have one of their AR10's in 308 I use for long distance stuff which i am keeping.

Message me if you have questions or would like to make an offer.

Regards All.

G20 sf.   One at home....one for Alaska.  Both have Warren Tactical sights.  Home weapon carries a crimson trace laser grip.

Cheaper than Dirt is gouging big time on ammo these days.  Not even the Dirt is cheap over there.  Send them a nastygram......................I did.

I carry the G20 most days in Alaska.  Definitely carry it to the woods when the bears are awake.  (As a back-up to the Marlin 45-70 Guide Gun)

Carry one in Minnesota too.  Can't have too many 10mm's.

PS Just saw an EAA Witness 10mm Hunter recently.  VERY nice gun.

Blackhawk serpa and the Blackhawk chest rig for the woods.

Anyone considering the new Marlins............jump right in.  There were some bad examples of Marlins BEFORE the sale as the company fought with their employees and the city of New Haven AND some bad weapons right after the sale as Remington retooled and gained experience but I have a new 1895 in 45-70 that looks great, functions flawlessly, and shoots 1 MOA or less!  Love the SBL with the Stainless Steel, laminate stocks, ghost ring sights, large lever, and top rail..........oh extended mag tube also.

Carry my 10mm as back-up in the woods of Alaska and as primary everywhere else......but when hiking the trails, the .458 is out front. ha ha

Woods:  The Blackhawk chest holster allows you to walk for long periods with the gun supported from your shoulders.  It can be positioned at different places on the chest and at different angles for personal preference.  It also has a holder for and extra magazine right next to the gun.  The holster protects the trigger from accidental engagement and a strap and quick release buckle hold the weapon snug.  I use it frequently in Alaska for hiking and fishing when wearing waders.

Conceal:  The Blackhawk Serpa.  Attachment for belt or pancake.  Holds it tightly.  Fast draw.  Rugged.

Mine should be here end of August. 

RRA Elite Operator 2.  I could not pass on the sale!  Plus, with a name like "Elite Operator"---it just HAS to be the best AR around.  (Said with FULL sarcasm AND tongue in cheek gentlemen.)

Really nice AR's guys....thanks for the pics....enjoy.

Quote007 says...I live in Minnesota and work in Alaska.

One heck of A commute...Welcome to the forum!

I know.....its complicated.  Have a friend in Shreveport!  Thanks again all.

The 325gr Hornady rounds are at 2000+fps, the heavier rounds are slower.  Sorry, I thought that would be obvious.

As for the Remington- Marlins, I will leave that to people with more knowledge and to the internet commandos.  I am always saddened though when a small company like Marlin with rich history and pride in workmanship is absorbed by a larger company like Remington.  I have not doubt that some things in the product get lost in the corporate move.

But the truth is that there were poor examples of Marlins out of New Haven just before the sale as the company fought with its employees and the city.  There were also some early Remington examples with poor quality control which have been fixed now or destroyed.  I have shot the old Marlins and the new ones built by Remington (which does have some history of their own producing quality firearms) and the new ones are as nice looking, powerful and accurate as the old ones. My particular rifle is accurate to 1 MOA or better and functions flawlessly with any ammo........probably not a museum piece though.......but its a working gun and i trust it in the role for which it was purchased which is self defense against large predators in Alaska.

Its true.........i mostly shoot the pistol with one eye closed.  I will try both open next range.  That said though..........the sights are fast AND very accurate.......at least for me and my one eye. ha ha

thanks all!

My Marlin is the 1895 SBL (which are all made by Remington these days).  The SBL (Stainless/Black) is a version of the guide gun that took many of the improvements that shops like Wild West Guns/ Grizzly etc were doing to the Marlin Guide Gun and featured them on the factory gun.  The gun is all stainless and a black/grey laminate (for the Alaska weather).  It has an 18" barrel, the longer magazine tube (holds 6 rounds end to end), the large loop lever (nice with gloves), the pachmyr deceleration pad, and XS peep sights and tactical rail for optics----------all stock from the factory.

I have seen it set up with scopes, scout scopes, red dots, lasers etc.  I have a Nikon 1-4 scope on mine with a German #4 reticle which is perfect for me given the 200 yds or so effective range of the gun.  When i am fishing, I leave the scope off.

The Marlin is very accurate, very powerful, provides fast follow up shots, and is not at all punishing to shoot.  It pushes about like a 12ga.  My buddy says it is way easier on him than his light weight 30-06.

I use mine strictly as a defensive weapon when i fish (10mm back-up), but lots of guys hunt with them.  I have read about everything from deer to elk, buffalo, black and brown bear........even elephant and cape buffalo.

I tried to post a pic but the photo has to be on a photo website........cannot upload from the computer.  I love that gun............just something about a lever gun in a uniquely American cartridge like the 45-70 Government.
