What kind of price would you guys expect a Gen 1 RPR (243 win) to go for? its got 800 rounds down the tube so id expect whoever would buy it would be looking to re-barrel in the next 500 rounds. My hopes are not too high at this point.

Still haven't seen any of the magnums up for sale anywhere yet. How soon do you more experienced guys expect to see them on the hide post exchange? I'm all for waiting a bit until the "new" wears off and buying one at a discount if it's not too long.
Mine came off easily... just backed off the locknut. Replaced with a Terminatot TT. Nice muzzle break.Anyone swapped out the factory muzzle brake for an aftermarket? Easy to get off? If so, what did you go with? Thx
I have taken off several now, Heat is your friend if its hard to get off. Well, heat, beer and maybe some PB Blaster. Not necessarily in that order.Mine came off easily... just backed off the locknut. Replaced with a Terminatot TT. Nice muzzle break.
There’s a super clean Gen 2 6 Creed listed up in the PX ?
Thanks! Im actually gonna make it a varmint gun and run it with a ~16.5 inch barrel and make it as light as possible.^ I have the paper city and love it. It’s thin and light weight as well as contoured along the bottom if you hold the rifle for PRS or anything like that.
Was wondering the same thing.Just out of curiosity...
I’ve got 3400 rounds now on my gen 1 308 RPR. It still operates totally smooth. I clean both the action/chamber and bore every couple hundred rounds. My question is, about how often do some of you other guys disassemble the bolt, clean it all out, oil, and reassemble?
This may have already been answered, but does anyone know the lightest handguard made for RPR?
Specific to the RPR.
I have been looking at the Paper City and the Lancer systems one.
Are these the two lightest? Thanks in advance.
Did it make a noticeable difference on the rpr?I have a carbon fiber (loose basket weave style). I just couldn't stand the weight of the metal fore ends or the sound they would make whenever rubbed in the brush. I really like this carbon fiber fore end, the link is below.

I've got around 1k rounds on mine and have broke the bolt down twice to clean it.
Honestly a little over kill I think cuz it really wasn't that dirty once I got it all apart.
I clean my bore about every 200 rounds.

I'm thinking of getting one for my AR but wasn't sure if it will be a totally noticeable difference in weight
Have you noticed any signs of the barrel reaching the end of its life yet?Just out of curiosity...

Could you send me a pic of your rpr with this handguard also?I have a carbon fiber (loose basket weave style). I just couldn't stand the weight of the metal fore ends or the sound they would make whenever rubbed in the brush. I really like this carbon fiber fore end, the link is below.

Is there a significant gap between handguard and action or does it butt up fairly well? That’s my main concern is the gap
Welcome, and enjoy the addiction!New to the group. Waiting on delivery of my new RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor (18029) hopefully today! I have read through all 52 pages of this thread, lots of great info (definitely drove my decision to purchase the RPR). Glass, mount, bipod and ammo on order as well. Hoping to get it set-up and out shooting in the desert before the end of November.

Anyone have a factory .308 barrel they would let go for cheap?
Pm sentI have one with less than100 rounds thru it. I swapped it for a .260 Rem barrel. What do you think is a reasonable price?
Keep us updated. I’d be curious hot it performs.Got a 24" Brownells 6 Creedmoor barrel in. For those curious, the barrel diameter at the muzzle end is about 0.751", middle 0.901", chamber end 1.00".
I need to borrow some go/no-go gauges and I'll be set. Hope I can develop a good load for it. If it blows, back it goes..

Will do. I just rented some gauges online so I should be getting them in this week. I'm not set up to reload 6mm yet so I'll get a few boxes of factory loads to test.Keep us updated. I’d be curious hot it performs.
HA! Same, just shoot the thing, it’ll break itself in.Will do. I just rented some gauges online so I should be getting them in this week. I'm not set up to reload 6mm yet so I'll get a few boxes of factory loads to test.
Edited to add: I'm not the one to do any break-in stuff. Just gonna install, clean, and shoot.
I'm thinking Hornady Match and Black since they are readily available. If both suck out of the barrel I'll try the Prime.HA! Same, just shoot the thing, it’ll break itself in.
There’s some good factory ammo out there between Hornady Match and Prime. What are you going to test with?
