Will shortly order the Timney 2 stage trigger and a couple of other upgrades.


The scope will have to wait until next month.

Nice! Magpul makes good stocks, I run one on my 308.

Update on my RPR.


I have the new HG installed, the upgraded Butt Stock (Magpul PRS3), and some other things. The new Timney 2-stage trigger will take an extra day because, much to my frustration, you have to canibalize the original factory trigger and put some parts from it into the new Timney trigger. I don't understand why they couldn't just build it with the parts already installed, although I suspect these particular parts may be specific to the model of the rifle.



Anyway, I'll keep y'all posted on the progress. I have an appt. for membership safety check at the JTAC ranch near my house on 07/17. They have some nice property there.


We'll see.

Cool beans… I thought all Timneys were drop in? That’s odd.

Apparently, no longer.

Click on the little tab that says, "Instructions" (halfway down and to the right) and you'll see.



But good news. I did get the trigger installed and it seems to dry fire well. I do hope the e-clamp I put in keeps hold. But I don't feel the "two stages" at all.... just one and it's very light. Almost 1911 style light. But that's OK. I like it.

Hmmm, good to know. Glad you got it in and it’s working properly.

As of today, all that remains is receiving the adapter for the Harris Bipod to my new ARCA rail HG, and I've had to exchange the rings from the low model to the high, as the low rings won't accomodate the scope and its 56mm optical lens. So, when those come in, it should be ready.

Great! Can’t wait to read the RR

Right!

OK. The RPR customizations are done! See the following Pics.





Here's the forward view:





And the rearward view:





A close up of the scope mount (to show the very small clearance of the objective lens, even with the "high mount" rings):





And another scope mount view





The scope is only mounted temporarily. I realize it's not even. It's not torqued down yet. I still have to mount the bubble level on it. This was just to determine the appropriate eye relief. After I mount the bubble level (forward of the turrets), then I'll align it properly and torque it to spec (18 in/lbs).


But here it is! I await my safety class at JTAC.
