Great tutorial! Bolt is running much smoother, no more zipper sounds. Don’t forget to reset the firing pin to disengage before trying to shove the bolt back in
That was a great video I tried everything but my bolt was still kind of rough if yours is still kind of rough give this a shot you know that little plate that holds or covers the trigger allen wrench take that off and then cycle your bolt I realize that that thing's what the bolt rubs on
Hello::: My Bolt was Trash. On that flat part there was a bur sticking up maybe far enough to cut a finger, but I saw it first. Ray Charles in Quality Control could have seen it. I took a 40 year old 5/16 half round file to it, I figured how could I hurt it. I went over all edges. When I open bolt and pull it back 1 inch it still wants to hang up. Precision for $500.00 my ass. Last month I got a 22/45 light, the trigger is crap. Well compared to my 22/45 Mark 3 or SS 1993 22/45. I also just got Ruger American green 6.5 Creemoor, So far it seems all right. I guess I'm not finished with bolt on RPR 22 Magnum. I got a 20 year old Dremel tool... He did a really nice job.
I know that I love my 3 RPRs. I have the 22lr, 6.5 Creedmoor, and the 338 Lapua Magnum and I love them all. I actually enjoy shooting my RPRs the most out of my bolt guns and I am definitely not a fan of Ruger center fire rifles till I had a friend tell me to check them out and I did and immediately wanted to get one. I picked up the 22 first and loved it so much that I wanted to pick up a short action and got the 6.5 and a buddy had the 308 and he let me run a few mags through the 308 and I can definitely say that it is a better shooting rifle than my old Remington 700 short action that is probably 25 years old. But I really like the 6.5 so much better than the 308s that I have. I then picked up the 338 Lapua when my friend who a gunshop called and said that he just took one on trade that he said that guy who traded it in got it spur of the moment impulse buy but didn't think about where he could shoot it in Southern Florida but the guy said that he shot 1 10rnd of 250grn and a box of 300grn and when I saw the rifle I would definitely believe it given that the bolt had none of the typical wear marks that you would see on any⁹í
Your disassembling this wrong! You don’t need a brass punch or a hammer. The “spring tension” you talked about needs relieved by compressing the bolt, just like you showed. Then the pin will PUSH out. It is designed to be pushed out. If you are beating it out, you’re doing it wrong!
Thinking of KB Kote'n my RPR's Bolt. IlKB Kote isabout as slick as Teflon and is sprayed on and oven cured. Not a 100% as to what is able to be safely coated??? Any suggestions what not to coat??
I'm curious if anyone has polished the bore on these rifles. I have never had a centerfire, rim fire, or air rifle that didn't respond well to it. I used a clean soft cloth patch on a tight fitting jag. Apply JB's borepaste, starting at the breech, using short back and forth strokes, gradually going deeper into the bore and back to the breech, working back and forth. Once the patch reached the muzzle, I would push it through and start with a new patch, again, starting with short strokes gradually getting longer until it reached the muzzle. After a couple of patches, I would clean the barrel thoroughly and shoot some groups. Case in point. I started shooting with a local club. They had weekly smallbore three position matches. I couldn't afford an Anschutz at that time and decided to try and improve my Ruger 1022. I put a heavy Butler Creek barrel on it and was really disgusted with its performance. The factory barrel actually shot better than it did. That weekend, my girlfriend spent the weekend with me and she put nearly a brick of ammo through the rifle. The next time I shot it, I was surprised it was shooting better. It wasn't going to hold the 0.356 dia. X-Ring on a 50 yard smallbore target, but it was shooting better. I didn't have anything to lose, so I took the barrel out and gave it a good polishing. The groups improved drastically. I did it again, and this time followed up with a patch covered in the white Mothers' aluminum polish. the bore was incredibly bright. and with the right ammo, it would put five shots inside or touching that 0.356 X-Ring. I shot that rifle for years in those club matches and in NRA sanctioned three position matches in three states. I never managed to shoot a 200 20X on a 50 yard target, but I shot several 200 19X targets. It would easily hold the 10 ring on the 100 yard targets if I watched the wind correctly. I have seen many videos on these RPR's, they show some real potential.
Thanks for video Rick , I think I might polish up my CZ 452 Bolt up too , the bolt had some surface rust on it after I pulled it out the safe after 16 months , I put a good layer of G96 Triple clean gun oil on it but she still rusted up , I used a bit of emery paper on it to get rid of the rust but it really does needs a good polish . Did you use a stainless steel polishing compound ? Or does any metal polishing compound do the job ?
This video is ok but There is a lot more to it than just polishing the Bolt, polish the firing pin the grove test fit it and make sure it has absolutely no rub marks on the bolt. I lap mine, I found out the Barrel is ok, But I wanted excellent so I bought a Green Mountain 24 inch Bull barrel with threaded end. I installed it and now I shoot 1/2 inch beetles at 100 yrds I also use a 6x24x50mm Athlon scope 1000 yrd scope on my 22lr
Thanks for the video - I learned a couple of things. Regarding the critical comments, well, as my granddaddy said; f ‘em and feed ‘em fish heads. Hahaha.
When you see a person using a channel lock as a hammer that tells me I not so convinced about his abilities as a gun tech. 😮 sorry. Recommendations use the proper gun smith tools.
WTF??🤯 I just about Sh_t when he started prying things apart with that screwdriver! And then I absolutely lost it when the PLIERS BECAME A HAMMER! I would Not let this guy fix a flat tire on my bike 😬🤮
Absolutely agree! People like this shouldn`t be even allowed to open or touch a cardboard box. Unfortunately, there are far more basement bandit gunsmiths out there then you can even imagine.🙄 "yesterday, he couldn`t spell gunsmith, today, he IS one" - "buying a handful of tools won`t make you a mechanic"
I just did mine, it worked beautifully! I was able to clean it thoroughly and polish it to somewhat perfect! Thank you!
Great tutorial! Bolt is running much smoother, no more zipper sounds. Don’t forget to reset the firing pin to disengage before trying to shove the bolt back in
Nice job and DIY vid....Love a good bolt action rifle....Good stuff....
Excellent video !👍
Thanks for sharing !
🇺🇸🗽
Cool. Just did this to mine. Worked perfect and was easy to do.
Thank You Sir! I was interested in the polishing compound. I would not have known that was the polishing wheel.
That was a great video I tried everything but my bolt was still kind of rough if yours is still kind of rough give this a shot you know that little plate that holds or covers the trigger allen wrench take that off and then cycle your bolt I realize that that thing's what the bolt rubs on

Good information Rick. The more I see you guys shooting and improving your RPR. I would like to get one also. Thanks for the video Rick.
Did you?

Or you can leave it all together and hit it with some 600 sandpaper and it comes out smooth as silk. Work smart not hard.
Great video but I was looking for the center fire version. Oh well still learned a lot;)
K. Moore Semper Fi thanks for stopping to watch the video
You need to get some tools!!! They sell fairly nice kits for about $200
did you ever smooth your firing spring chamber and firing pin while breaking down to decrease drop time and decrease minute of angle ??????
Hmm, I may have to try the same thing on CZ 455 bolt. It definitely could be smoother.
Your disassembling this wrong! You don’t need a brass punch or a hammer. The “spring tension” you talked about needs relieved by compressing the bolt, just like you showed. Then the pin will PUSH out. It is designed to be pushed out. If you are beating it out, you’re doing it wrong!
Thanks Brian.
Yep
Thanks for polishing it up before I won it lol
👍👍
Great video!!!Would you recommend using millitec on the polish parts after?
Up to you

if you upgraded your microphone you would get more views imo
where are your brass hammer and punches sir lol jk great work try hitting in the rail too to stop that wear mark from growing if you can reach in
What grit value was you dremel polisher bit?
I have no idea sorry
Thanks for video Rick , I think I might polish up my CZ 452 Bolt up too , the bolt had some surface rust on it after I pulled it out the safe after 16 months , I put a good layer of G96 Triple clean gun oil on it but she still rusted up , I used a bit of emery paper on it to get rid of the rust but it really does needs a good polish .

Good rainy day project for sure. Thanks for showing
Did this MCR ease the accuracy of you’re firearm or more aesthetic reasons?
Just smoothed bolt no accuracy gains
@@IY6C good to know. Great video! Easy to follow :)
Can you polish it without dissembling it?
Parts of it
brevity please
This video is ok but There is a lot more to it than just polishing the Bolt, polish the firing pin the grove test fit it and make sure it has absolutely no rub marks on the bolt.

Yeah that video is a old. I run Rimx now. Thanks for watching. Check out some newer videos
My god. If he saw the rust on mine he would be alarmed. I have never cleaned it. And i leave it outside))
You got new glass for that rpr rimfire. Thought you were rocking that Burris???
That was rays used my razor off my LR 223 for training with same reticle
I see.... I wonder when the rattle can mafia is going to hit up the rpr rimfire. Hope all is well brother.
Thanks for the video - I learned a couple of things. Regarding the critical comments, well, as my granddaddy said; f ‘em and feed ‘em fish heads. Hahaha.
Or just get a M Loc bipod.
When you see a person using a channel lock as a hammer that tells me I not so convinced about his abilities as a gun tech. 😮 sorry. Recommendations use the proper gun smith tools.
To each his own. I think of guns as just tools so I don’t use whatever works. Not worried about safe queen stuff. Use it abuse it
WTF??🤯 I just about Sh_t when he started prying things apart with that screwdriver!
And then I absolutely lost it when the PLIERS BECAME A HAMMER! I would Not let this guy fix a flat tire on my bike 😬🤮

"yesterday, he couldn`t spell gunsmith, today, he IS one" - "buying a handful of tools won`t make you a mechanic"
Every bit of this video is pitiful.
Sure glad you don`t work on my guns.
Lol it is a tool. This is not one of my custom guns. You do you. I shoot I don’t gun smith.
