After their bad press, they better offer some great deals.

When I can get a good Toolcraft for only $15 more... WHY?!

they need to recoup some of that pocket lining money somehow...

Wait, I must have missed something at least sorta big. What bad press are we talkin' here? I was under the impression that RRA was alright

What? Toolcraft never heard of it. RRA parts are used by the 2 major National Match Rifle builders,
White Oak and Compass Lake Engineering. I have used RRA parts on several builds
and fellow competitors use them as well with no issues. This is for a High Power across
the course 20 inch barrel NM rifle not a tacti cool spray and pray carbine.

Toolcraft is the OEM for military depot-repair replacement bolt carrier groups, IIRC their CAGE code is 1B1B6.

OK good to know thankyou Diamondback. Now I have the CAGE code.

What he just told you in a polite way is that ToolCraft is used by our warriors at the tip of the spear.
If you get my drift.

I don't know what RRA parts the CLE would be using. I know CLE makes their own NM handguard system.
Mr. Holliger used to sell reworked RRA triggers but doesn't anymore.

I have used parts from them as well.

RRA gets bashed because :

They choose to use commercial receiver extensions
They use Loctite on the receiver extension
Reports of Loctite on handguard systems
High round count users of their triggers have reported failures
Their bolts are not individually HPT and MPI tested
(in a nutshell, they cut corners)

I've had problems with their RE but they did correct it
The Loctite thing gets them bad press because AR owners like to change things out
They may have cured their over-priced trigger problems but the damage is done

On the bright side, they use Wilson Arms barrels and the one I have is very good.
Their fit and finish on complete rifles is very good.

For the average AR enthusiast they are fine.
If you want to change out buttstocks or handguards be prepared to deal with the Loctite.

Granted, MilSpec is "Minimum Acceptable" rather than the "Holy Grail" some make it out to be, but...
