Got mine over 20 years ago. Have one spare mag, 2 total. Can't find any barrels for it. Should have stocked up when I first picked it up. Still it's a 308, lots of barrel life left in it.

I'd edit your post to reflect that you are looking for retail sources for those parts. As of now, it reads like a 'Want To Buy' which can only be posted in the PX. Upgrade your account to a 'Supporter' account so that you can start 'WTB' threads in the PX for what you need. Otherwise, the ban hammer may fall.

Sorry...didn't know what is expected too well.
 
I had one back a while ago pretty much shot about every load I ran through it awesome rifle
I have had four tactical rifles in Semiauto/bolt...this one is amazing, simple, clean, accurate than anything I had before, receiver dosent get dirty...only the barrel requires cleaning, lighter and no laundry list of things to buy for it!

Great rifle. Congratulations.

You should know there was a recall for the earlier model, the LRS II. Start with the gun unloaded but cocked. Press up ahead of the magazine. If it fires send it back to Blaser.

I have no relationship with Elmer and have never owned one of his barrels, but have heard good reports.

May be worth a call.

I would also reach out to Criterion barrels to see if they have any ideas for replacement barrels.

Also know it will be hard to wear out the original Blaser barrel.

And yes they are tack drivers. Resizing fired brass can be challenging to get right, but also easy to load for.

Good luck.
 
I’m glad you like it! I worked on load development yesterday with mine. I think everything I tried was sub MOA. Your rifle’s brother says hi…

I believe the LRS/LRS2 was the exception to this R93 recall. I have one and it shoots a hole. Sexy unique rifle

Nope. My LRS II had a serious issue and was recalled. The gun would fire with pressure just ahead of the magazine.

This was an LRS specific recall if I remember correctly. I am not aware of an R-93 recall.
