Question for the RR Rep? I just bought an upper and was looking for the markings but could not find anything that represented it as a Rock River upper except for the "key hole" type brand behind the forward assist. I took the handguards off and could not find anything, is there anywhere else I could look? The bolt also had the initials MPF on it? I am guessing this was prior owners initials? Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Havent been to the range yet. I know it is a 14.5 and chrome lined, but I want to verify the twist, 1:7 is what it said on the ad on the internet, but I want to make sure.

From reading the thread the C = crome lined and the M is an inspector code but I don't see "193" as being defined yet. The barrel is amazing btw, 14.5" with perm A2, very very nice work guys. |

Mine also just has a 200 with no S or C or anything i can see

What are the Barrel codes for the 6.8? Also are all the 6.8 uppers SAAMI 2 chambers? finally are some Chrome and others not? I have an early one I bought back in 2007.
Thanks |

Any help would be appreciated You need to grab a flashlight, and look up under the delta ring right up near the hole for the gas tube. |

Hello RRA Moderator,
I am a new Rock River owner, as I purchased my first AR earlier this week. I was hopeful that I might be able to find out as much detail about my RRA "Entry Tactical"(as referenced on my receipt) as possible by referencing it's seriai # here, as I purchased it new. Since there wasn't anything material from RRA enclosed that specified what model / options, I was hopeful that I could get more information here. Here are the details / characteristics: Serial # CM206350 16" bbl A2 Buttstock Hogue Grip Tactical Detachable Carry Handle w/ A2 sight. As they say - "This is MY rifle. There are many like it, but this one is Mine....", so I want to be as knowledgable about it as I can. Thanks in advance for any information / assistance you may be able to provide. Regards, Frank |

Okay, What is a 204 C-M ???????? Really, the question is what the C-M stands for, as I know what the 204 means. Edit: Ah, figured it out... C-M stands for Chrome lined - Chrome Moly Barrel...

If you want to e-mail me withthe serial number, I can tell you how the lower left the factory. Steve/RRA What? I just got my upper last week and it has the same thing. It has the same markings on top of the barrel near the flash suppressor, the keyhole on the upper and the laser engraving on top. I got it straight from RRA.. are you saying it isn't one of yours?? |

Hey Steve, you still work at RRA? There's a little back log on some of our questions.

Mine shows ( 200 - P z )
What does the - P and the small z denote? |

Anyone notice that many of our newer barrels (say, the past seven or eight months or so) are now stamped forward of the frobt sight housing?
|
|
|
I saw a RRA with markings forward of the front sight where it says "RRA 5.56 NATO 1/9 CL", what does the CL stand for?
|
|
"Do what you love. It's not the goal or the prize that matters...it's the journey"- quote from my Father

CL=Chrome Lined

Mine is also forward of the front sight housing. Says CM on it.
Chromoly? |
|

Yes. CM is for Chrome-Moly...

I bought a Frakenstein AR this weekend. It has a laser engraved Rock Ricver upper.
I took the handgaurds off and by the delta ring I see the numbers 232 stamped on top of the chamber.That tells me it's a Moly light-weight CAR (if it is a Rock River barrel). The part that throws me is there's a number 8 stamped. It's not inline with the 232. The 232 is at the 12 o clock position and the 8 is stamped at the 3 o clock position. Is this one of your barrels? |
|
|
Everything except the "8" sounds like one of our normal barrels.
I'll have to check withthe production crew t see if they've seen it. Steve/RRA |
|
|
I appreciate it.
|
|
|
Did you ever talk to the guys in production?
|
|
|
I now believe that is an inspection stamp from Wilson Arms, who makes the barrels.
We do the forward barrel markings, but they do the markings over/around the chamber...bbl number, inspection marks, etc... Steve/RRA |
|
|
How about 213C-P

AR0213CL....lightweight chrome-lined mid with a secondary inspection stamp.

My Serial # is CM67571. How did this one leave the factory? I have a YHM floating quad rail so I think its covering the barrel markings. I do know that it is a heavy barrel.
|
|

I have a 200/P. And a A further up the barrel?

Hi I've got this rifle when the ban was in affect for varmint hunting, this is about 12 + years ago, but didn't had the chance to until now. I don't see any marking on the barrel to say if it's .223 or 5.56. But the lower does say that it's 5.56 caliber. The lower also is the old RRA style with the ROCK RIVER ARMS stamp and not like the new cool emblem now. Does anyone know if the rifle is indeed chambered in 5.56? I took the hand guard and gas tube off and try to see if there are any marking. But there arent any.Much thanks.

Steve, I just took possession of my RRA SBR. The 10.5" barrel is marked 225C7K.
Is 7 the twist? Is this barrel chrome lined? I assume K is the inspector's mark. Thanks. |

The C indicates chrome-lined, th e7 is the twist, and anything else is an inspection mark.
Steve/RRA |
|
|
How about 3-223S/ (forward slash) Has two or one double struck X further past that which looks like an insection mark. Very odd looking contour.
John |
|
|
If it's one of our barrels, the 223 would tell us that it's an unthreaded 20" stainless match barrel...but I don't remember any coming through with slashes, prefixes, etc...like you're describing. It might not be an RRA barrel, or even one of our uppers/rifles.

The doubt of authenticity has me concerned as it came in one of your blue cases, with all the paperwork. If it's counterfeit, someone is very good at it. John |
|
|
You didn't specify an LAR-8. The codes listed here are just the 223/5.56 barrels.
It's still a 20" stainless unthreaded barrel (the 308A0223 barrel, but the markings are only similar, not identical. Steve/RRA |

I just purchased a used RRA LAR-15, cal. 5.56, serial # CM30042. Could you please tell me the date of manufacture and how it was originally configured when it left the shop? Right now, it has an 18" stainless steel bull barrel with a free floating handguard, a picatinny gas block, and an A3 upper. I measured the twist rate using a bore brush and cleaning rod and came up with 1:8. I'd like to now if the upper assembly was ever swapped out. Any information would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance !! Darryl |

That serial number left the factory in June '04 as an A2-stocked lower half with a 2-stage trigger.
The upper half could be just about anything (including a factory-built upper). Steve/RRA Originally Posted By floridagunner:

Steve,
I purchased a used RRA LAR-15 this week and would like to know the date of manufacture and configuration it had when it left the factory. The serial number is CM150048. Thanks very much! |

Just recieved my ATH LAR-15 yesterday. I read in an earlier post that the barrel markings are just in front of the chamber on top. Question one is why would RRA put them there when everyone else puts them near the end where it can be easily seen and read? With all of the free floated uppers and RASS units out there it makes it very difficult to verify what it is, especially if you have taken the upper off of the lower and now you can't even determine what caliber it is without some disassembly. Sorry, it just caught me off gaurd to get a new rifle in and the barrel wasn't easily identifiable like my other rifles. I purchased an elite operator and I was so impressed with the accuracy and function I ordered the ATH, it has the barrel markings in the normal place, thank you..
