We don't front-end-stamp any of the stainless barrels.

Hi Steve,
I just traded with a dealer for an Entry Tactical, serial number KT1014779. It was special ordered by another customer but never paid for. The barrel is marked C202 under the handguards. The dealer advertised it as a chrome lined 223 Wylde. Is that correct? The dealer also claimed the rifle had the Tactical Carry handle, but when I unpacked it, it had the standard carry handle (gun was still in the plastic bag and tied to the case). Can you tell how it ordered? Have not been to the range yet but it looks and feels great out of the box. Thanks, Curt E. |

Files say it left herein 2010 as an AR1257 Entry Tactical with CL bbl, A2 Carry Handle. Chromed BCG, Winter Trigger Guard, and a Badger Tac Latch.

wonder what this means then,This is what was under my handguards on my 16" middy RRA that I just bought.
cant find info on these markings http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/jims4x4/a380438a.jpg |
|
|
I've neevr seen that on any of our barrels.
I'll verify with the barrel shop to make sure something hasn't changed without my knowing it. Are you sure it's on eof our complete uppers? Steve/RRA |

buddy I got it from said he bought it as a complete rifle at a trusted LGS
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/jims4x4/272ad3db.jpg |
|
|
did some searching and found that the "ST" at the beginning of the numbers may mean "Spikes Tactical" so the barrel must have been changed out,there is even a picture of it on Spikes sight ?I have no clue why but going to research it more.now to find out if its a decent barrel or not

In my experience, the receiver in the photo (in the above quote box) has the markings of an RRA upper receiver sold as an RRA "stripped" upper receiver. EDIT: I took a picture to more clearly demonstrate what I'm trying to say. Top Receiver is from a Factory RRA Complete Upper Assembly, Bottom Receiver is a "stripped" RRA Upper Receiver as sold by RRA (not a complete assembly, upper receiver only) |

This applies to A4 uppers, Others are similarly dual marked as appropriate fo rthat particular style of upper. Steve/RRA |

Steve, I bought this upper a couple years ago from quantico arms in Oceanside California . They told me it was a chrome lined barrel but not to sure about that.
The barrel code is BA202 and has a little c ( maybe an inspection stamp) after the number. But is backwards Curious if it's chrome lined or not. Thanks!! |

I would have to look into the "BA", but "202" translates into an AR0202, CAR-gas system chrome-moly (unlined) heavy barrel with R4 turndown forward of the front sight housing. Steve/RRA |

Steve/RRA Ended up replacing the entire upper. I Took a good look down the barrel and about the 1st inch of rifling was pretty trashed. I pretty much abused the upper so I think I got my money's worth out of it. I'm going to keep it in the spare parts crate. |

I have a Barrel that I was told came off of a RRA Coyote Carbine. The only Marking on the Barrel is the number '220' What can anyone tell me about the barrel. Is it Chrome Lined? Other than it being a 20" Barrel I dont have any other info. Does RRA make their own barrels or is this barrel from a different manufacturer that you use on your rifles. Im not sure what I have so any info that you could provide would be great. I picked it up cheap beacuse the threads at the breach end are stripped and need to be re-threaded. I live in NY so I need to have something pin welded anyway. I will take as much information as you can give me being again that its a 20" Barrel with marking '220' and is off of a RRA Coyote Carbine. Thanks!

A 220 would denote an AR0220, a 20" moly (unlined) barrel typically used on a Coyote Rifle (not the carbine). It's 1:9 and has a 223 Wylde chamber.

could we get an updated list? If any thing has changed. I just received my ATH Carbine and my numbers are under the ring, except for a 3.(I think) edit: after better examination I found S(or a 6 left side of digit is obscured) /V and 1?(number is partially obscured by ring /13 A little concerned about the 1/13 as the barrel is supposed to be 1/8 |

We've never had a 1:13 (and I've never heard of one, either) bbl, lety alone swapped one in place of a 1:8. Thanks.. Steve/RRA |
|

thanks for the reply, I checked the twist with a rod and brush it is 1:8 but I do have a 1/13 etching on the barrel. Some kind of date code? Not a big deal now I was curious and I didn't want to tear the barrel off to see the rest unless absolutely necessary. Besides this I am impressed with the fit and finish on my new rifle . You guys keep up the great work. It was worth the wait.

The only place we stamp twist is on the top of the barrel in front of the gas manifold. If you're looking back by the nut, you're looking at barrel number and inspection stamps.

I have a used 10.5" barrel marked "200" and there is an "A" above it.
Did it leave the factory as a 10.5in barrel or was it cut down? |

125740

Sounds like a 16" moly (AR0200) that was cut and turned at some point. A 10.5" moly should show 225 (fo AR0225).

I just picked up a RRA and need some info on it. It is stamped "C 200" on top of the barrel under the handguard. In front of the front sight post, on top of he barrel it says "RRA 5.56 NATO 1/9 CM. Basically I don't know what the "C 200" under the handguard means, or what the "CM" means in front of the front sight post. Can anyone help this dumbfounded guy figure it out? Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Steve/RRA |

It would be extremely unusual to have a barrel with no markings at all, and I can't tell you the last tim ewe painted a tube green...it's been several years at least.

Anything with a 241C would be a 10.5" chrome-lined barrel. It should still have the RRA info forward of the front sight housing mounting area, with the RRA 1:7, CL, etc. Steve/RRA.. Got to thinking about it...that barrel is to short for the roll stamp in front of the FSH, so the markings over the chamber are all that there would b e on it. Steve |

I just bought a Limited CAR A4 Fluted Complete Upper Half with flip up sights Rail tube and the Dominator II.
Based on the info on RRA's web site it says it is a Chrome Moly Barrel. I looks like it is an HBAR Fluted Barrel. I can't see the top of the chamber due to the Rail tube. The Chamber appears to be Chromed. Is this possible? |

203C-M ?? Sight unseen upper that I am helping a friend with. Thanks!
|
|

That one isn't ringing any bells.
The AR0203 was a 16" non-threaded moly R4 barrel. I think we did away with them before we went to the current marking pattern It would have been marked with an "N9A" at the time...NATO chamber, 1:9 twist, alloy (unlined chromoly steel, probably 4140 in the case of an AR0203). The C would be for chrome-lined, which an AR0203 isn't. The M, if it is one of ours and marked that way, would be an inspection mark. Interesting. Steve/RRA. . |

I will have him double check the mark. Thanks for the response!
EDIT It was 204 not 203! Its on the list so were good to go! Thanks again. |

My barrel code is 197 C/R with the date 05/08/13 it’s a 14.5”’non pinned barrel thank you for any help. I’ve been all over google and fb groups, I can’t find a solid answer. I just found RRA’s page here.
Any information would be appreciated. Is this a barrel for the civilian market or was it for LEO? I know it’s chrome lined but I’m not sure if the twist or anything else. To have been manufactured in 2013, the riflings are great. It has to be a very low round count. The fella I got it from said he didn’t know what type of upper it was. The hand guard was just a generic round hand guard, nothing special. Thanks again. |

AR0197
14.5" Chrome-lined 1:7 in a mid weight profile. The other number is a date code. Steve/RRA |
|
|
Thank you very much for helping me with this. Do you know what model rifle this barrel was used with? I cannot find anything at all about this barrel. Thank you.
|
|
|
It's standard on a couple of SBRs and used as a substitution in place of a 1:9 barrel for some other applications.
Steve/RRA |
|
|
Thank you very much.

i have an RRA barrel with code 231 S/W. There is also a date 3/4/14. I'm sure the S is for stainless and the W is for Wylde. I don't see 231 on the code list. the barrel measures 18" and is mid-length gas system with a .750 gas block.
