Now with HEAT!
Please buy all of them. I don't NEED more parts. I have too many floating around as it is! I came THIS CLOSE to buying one! 
All I could find on them was that they ARE .625 under the fsb and they MAY be 1/8. (An ad for a carbine built with an IO barrel said it was 1/8 twist.) Here's a pic lifted from the interwebs. 
(Right Click, View Picture In New Window to see the picture full size) ETA HEAT! |

1x8 twist is a perfect twist for those who wanna shoot heavier ammo. The rifle in your pic looks nice but after seeing the majority of the Kits from RTI, I know that's one of the nicer kits.

"NO PARTS KITS SOLD TO CA"
It's because of the mags which they can keep as far as I'm concerned. I have crates of mags, normal mags, not those stupid pretend 10 rounders. As much as I love it here I hate it here sometimes. |

The photo of the kit with barrel that was in the latest RTI email showed a complete barrel assembly. The website did not have that picture, just the same old one they have always had up. I did order a kit with barrel, but be careful it is possible to still order a regular kit without the barrel at the old price. I had to search the site a little bit to get the kit with barrel. My total was $466.

I can find NO picture on the website of the kit WITH the barrel. They don't sell the barrel separately either. I saw the picture in the email too. Even unmounted it's not a bad buy I just REALLY don't NEED another beat 603 upper! (I need just one pretty upper with original anodizing!) |

Spare parts turn into builds, a type E stock is the reason the 2nd 603 is getting built.
The first one is a frankenrifle, it was pretty much done but I'm redoing it, it will look like a very late XM16E1 The 2nd one will be a 100% correct early 70's if I can ever get my lower receiver predicament solved. (And I mean 100% if this goes well.) |

Agreed HipShot, the more confusing thing is we can have 30 round mags and standard mag releases on a featureless rifle, but mags have to be "pre-ban" so if they could charge the same price but keep the mags, they would technically be making more money by selling to CA, assuming they sell the mags to someone else

Sounds like an good idea to me, especially because someone would be able to keep the Colt mags for the trouble of re-shipping it. Just glad I don't have to do that.

Guys, you are free to buy what you want, but I urge you to look into RTI's recent track record of screwing over their customers to make more money. After the recent economic sanctions were imposed on Russian companies, most notably arms manufactured that import to the US, RTI immediately canceled all of their sales of VEPR and other AK type weapons that they had already been paid for, and sold them for twice as much on GB.
They are morally and ethically backwards. I will personally NEVER spend a dime with them, even if they have great deals. |

I have bought three kits from RTI, two grade A's and a grade C. Quite frankly the grade C was in such good condition, I wish I would have bought all grade C's.
As for the whole VEPR debacle, they apologized, claiming it was a software glitch. They did offer to sell to sell VEPR's to those that had ordered one for the original price. So at least they tried to make it right. As for me, the kits they were selling were in better condition than the grading would lead you to believe. The shipping was reasonable and they arrived from Florida to Nevada in about seven days total from when I placed the order. I've got no complaints. |

I got the email from Royal Tiger today listing the parts kit plus barrel. I emailed them because I already got a parts kit, but have been looking for just the barrel. RTI is selling barrel only via telephone order for $130. I don't know if that's including shipping, but I doubt it.
I'll call tomorrow to get specs on barrel: twist rate, chrome lined or not, FSB or not, etc. If anyone has specific questions, send me an IM and I'll reply tomorrow with the answers. And if I ordered a barrel or not. If it's not chrome lined, I'm going to pass on it and keep looking. |
