cjt33 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Came across this forum after a google search trying to find any info on RRA's compatibility with custom barrels. After I read threads started by Hoot & Tripledeuce I decided to join & hopefully these guys will let me in on how they accomplished their builds. Any info from any of the other guys here who have tried (successfully or not) custom builds with RRA components would be greatly appreciated.

Tripledeuce Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Welcome from Colorado!My past posts pretty well explaine things. I took a regular DPMS bbl and installed it on an otherwise "stock" RRA lar8. Checked headspace, and fired her. Got about 300 rounds down the pipe, now. and no problems. No "fitting" required. I have also installed a DPMS 308 bbl on a RR upper, and a 338 Federal on another. No problems! I did hand run a finishing reamer in all the chambers, DPMS sees to use reamers undersize in the case body. Respectfully Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjt33 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the welcomes guys!! Sorry for the slow response... I have two little ones at home, so between them, the wife & work my online time is very limited. Not sure why I think I'll have time to build my first gas gun lol!! This will be a learning process for me but hopefully I'll have something to contribute to this site before I'm done.Terry, I'm currently combing through your old posts, so as not to ask you questions that you've already been hammered with...forgive me if I ask some that you've already answered. It appears that Hoot has not been active on this sight for a while, is that the case?? I would like to pick his brain as well.I would like to layout my plan of action for this build so any of you can feel free to pick it apart or drop your 2 cents. I assume that I should start a new thread for that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripledeuce Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 JT33, Ask anything! Its not really all that hard. The major differences are the length of the bolt carrier, and the bolt stop.The bolts and bbls are inter-changeable. As long as the headspace is correct.
