Hi all,
I’m having an issue with my RPR extracting fired SK LRM since I put a Shilen barrel on it. It will extract SK rifle match with no issues. Looking at them side by side I can’t really see any difference externally. I know LRM has a higher velocity. Is this causing greater case expansion possibly?
Also, pushing down on the cartridge positioning spring with the bolt closed will extract the cartridge. I’ve seen pictures where the cartridge positioning spring was bent but this did not seem to be the case. I replaced it anyway but it made no difference.
