You should be able to single feed with the pmag, after it gets warn in; also if you use an AICS steel mag.

I realize there may be other options out there, but I picked up an AI "Bob Sled" single shot adapter so that I can single load at the range. Anyone else use this device?
What about bore guides, are there any specific for the rpr? What are people using?
I believe the Magpul Pmag AICS pattern magazine allows you to close the bolt on the RPR when empty. You can buy one of them instead, insert it, and then single feed. Seems like this way you'll at least get a magazine out of it!
Use an AC type Magpul magazine, allows single loading through the port, won't hold the bolt open and presents the cartridge exactly as if it was loading from the magazine. Why not use only one device that will load cartridges or act as a port loading "BOB SLED"? K.I.S.S. is a good thing...
For what it’s worth, you can take a dremel and grind down the corner of the bolt stop in the mag in about 20 seconds. No more bolt stop and nice and smooth. I’ve done it to all my mags for this rifle, with exception to the bob sled of course
Overtime the bolt stop will wear down as well; I can single load with mine at this point.Do you have any pics of that mod? I've been wondering if I could do that and would like to see what it looks like so I have an idea of what to do on mine.
Not sure. I had been saving for glass and I just got it and mounted it this past weekend. I havent had a chane to take it out yetVery nice rig... how well does she shoot?

The zipper sound is coming from the bolt catch rubbing in the grove milled in the bolt. Some folks have polished this area (or the entire bolt). Honing the action won't stop it. I had my bolt "Micro-Slicked" and the sound went away. Micro-slick is a heat cured coating (https://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/C-110Q/micro-slick-dry-film-coating/). Folks charge around $30 - $40 to apply it to your bolt.So... that "zipper" sound that the bolt makes when cycling. Is it worth honing the action to reduce the noise, or just let natural cycling of the bolt smooth the ridges left by the machining process?

I will have to do that on mine. Thanks for the idea!So here’s a couple pics of that quick mag mod to get rid of the bolt stop on empty. As you can see that corner is just ground down a little. It really doesn’t take much. View attachment 6890732View attachment 6890733
You had a Gen 2 before? Is the bolt smooth like a Tikka? The trigger is 2 stage? Thanks.Picked up my "GEN 3" RPR today, the new changes are very noticeable, the Trigger is very crisp at 3Lbs The Ambi Safety is a welcome addition, and the new Mlok Handgaurd is very rigid an aesthetically pleasing. The nitrided bolt is buttery smooth and there is no more zipper effect. The stock can be a PITA, but once adjustable properly it's very comfortable.
I shot 12 Rounds of Hornady 140 Amax this evening, just Zero my Scope, all grouped at around 1/2 MOA or better. I have six different types of store-bought ammo to try out and will do a proper range report once I've tested them all.
My only complaint is the trigger is too heavy for my liking, I will be replacing it with the timney trigger tomorrow other than that I see no reason to change/Upgrade anything out at this time.
The trigger is adjustable.

I’m almost positive anyone will work as long as it’s a 45 degree throw safety. I know for a fact the seeking precision one works and it’s not even advertised as an RPR safety.Will any AR ambidextrous safety work on the RPR, or does it have to be a special one?

no but I have their 60 degree on mine and it works. I’m just not gonna state that would be the case for all 60 degree.
I actually just called Ruger and they can’t even tell you whether it’s a 45 or a 60. I only said 45 cause that’s what it looks like but it could actually be 60. I know for fact that seekins 60 works. I use it. The safety on the RPr from the factory is the same one that is in the SR556 if that means anything.The Seekins really works? Do they have a 45 degree? I only find theirs in 60 and 90
Edit: I guess they do. I’m seeing multiple pics online of them on an RPR. Nobody saying whether they got the 60 or 90 though

It probably will. That is most likely why there is the diamond hard stop. You can use any safety. Just a guess.The SR556 uses a 90 degree safety
ETA: I wonder if that means the 90 degree safety would work. Looks like I'll be making time for a little experiment in the near future...
Yes mine is WAY tighter fitting than the factory oneDoes the LRI Bolt shroud fit tighter and remove the wobble like the OEM shroud has??
Did they change the bolt shroud in the Gen 3 RPR? Does the handguard have more screws holding it in place? Thanks.

I replaced the gen 2 factory alum shroud. Factory shroud was a slop fest.Did you go from the Ruger aluminum or plastic shroud? Cuz I watch some YouTube videos last night and looks like they're just cosmetic they really don't do shit for you.
The titanium bolt shroud that's out with the metal bolt disassembly tool seems to be the best out there right now
