I have a RRA barrel with the markings 212 C-P 7. Its a 16" mid legnth barrel. Anybody know, for sure, what the markings mean? RRA to my knoledge doesn't offer a 1 in 7 twist, so I'm not sure what he 7 is. Thanks, TJ Ain't sure what the markings mean but RRA does offer a 1-7 16", it's available on it's Entry Tac and I believe they offer a 1-7 Wilson 14-5". |

came across this last week...
New Codes: The actual base part number from our parts system/catalog, located over the chamber. These are the most common. Unless indicated otherwise, all stainless barrels are 1:8 twist and all moly barrels (chrome-lined or not) are 1:9. All 16" moly barrels have a NATO chamber, while the 20" moly and all stainless barrels have a Wylde chamber. 200 =moly CAR 200CL =Chrome-lined CAR 202 =moly R4 204 =Chrome-lined R4 205 =Chrome-lined light-weight R4, 1:7 206 =Stainless CAR 208 =16" varmint 210 =moly Mid 212 =Chrome-lined Mid 215 =Stainless Mid 218 =18" varmint 219 =Chrome-lined light-weight R4, 1:9 220 =moly Std (rifle) 221 =Chrome-lined Std (rifle) 222 =Stainless NM(rifle) 223 =Stainless NM (rifle), unthreaded 226 =20" varmint 228 =24" varmint (1:8) 229 =24" varmint (1:12) There may be "S" & "C" after the numbers. The "S" is for stainless and the "C" is for chrome-lined. |

Jazz Fan,
Looks like the info I needed. Its a chrome lined 1/9 mid. The c-p could be for chrome mag particle, but the 7 after that is a mystery. Thanks, TJ |

Woohoo! Score! I was wondering what those markings were. I got Chrome Lined, didn't ask for it, didn't pay for it. Didn't look for it when I bought it because it wasn't supposed to be there.

Usually, if there is another mark after that it means that that barrel was pulled for additional testing (lot testing). I have not seen one that was a numeral though. It may in fact be marking that it is 1:7. |

Steve of RRA (RRAModerator in the Industry, RRA section) has a tacked thread where he provides the codes. As he works for RRA, I'm guessing its accurate.
Applicable "codes" for 223 barrels:
You may want to go over to that thread and ask him directly. LINK
Old Codes: Three characters side by side over the chamber. First Character: N or W...N for NATO chamber or W for Wylde Second Character: 8 or 9...8 for 1:8 twist and 9 for 1:9 twist. Third Character: A, S, or C...A for moly (chrome -moly Alloy), S for Stainless, and C for Chrome-lined alloy. New Codes: The actual base part number from our parts system/catalog, located over the chamber. These are the most common. Unless indicated otherwise, all stainless barrels are 1:8 twist and all moly barrels (chrome-lined or not)are 1:9. All 16" moly barrels have a NATO chamber, while the 20" moly and all stainless barrels have a Wylde chamber. 200 Moly CAR 200CL Chrome-lined CAR 202 Moly R4 204 Chrome-lined R4 205 Chrome-lined light-weight R4, 1:7 206 Stainless CAR 208 16" varmint 209 Moly 7" 210 Moly Mid 212 Chrome-lined Mid 213 Moly light-weight Mid 213CL Chrome-lined light-weight Mid 215 Stainless Mid 218 18" varmint 219 Chrome-lined light-weight R4, 1:9 220 Moly Std (rifle) 221 Chrome-lined Std (rifle) 222 Stainless NM(rifle) 223 Stainless NM (rifle), unthreaded 225 Moly 10.5" 225CL Chrome-lined 10.5" 226 20" varmint 228 24" varmint (1:8) 229 24" varmint (1:12) 232 Moly light-weight CAR 232CL Chrome-lined light-weight CAR YOU MAY START TO SEE SOME "S" AND "C" MARKINGS AFTER THE NUMBERS...THE "S" FOR STAINLESS AND THE "C" FOR CHROME-LINED...PRIMARILY TO HELP PEOPLE BOTH IN-HOUSE AND OUT TO KNOW AT A GLANCE WITHOUT HAVING TO REFER TO A CATALOG. Steve/RRA Edited 07-07-06 to include chrome-lined 20" rifle bbl (AR0221). Edited 01-04-07 to include chrome-lined lightweight R4 bbls (AR0205 and AR0219). Edited 01-30-08 toinclude the 7"(209), 10.5" (225), and light-weight CARs and Mids (232 and 213) |
