    JP LRP-07 Wait times?

    8 weeks yesterday and no word. Nothing special on mine that should stretch out the schedule so I'm hoping I'm really close.

    JP LRP-07 Wait times?

    I was in touch with Ben yesterday and asked if my LRP-07 was still on schedule for a 6-8 week delivery (ordered April 10). He said they've been running on the long side of the estimated delivery schedule but should be pretty close to the 8 week mark. Mine is just black, no Cerakote or anything...

    While I'm pretty sure my chamber is clean and dry, I'll give this a shot. As you said, it's cheap! Thanks!

    UPDATE: The JP tungsten SCS weights came in and I got a chance to shoot the gun today. The added weight made the Federal 130g GMM run really well, with no failures to return to battery, or bolt bounce, or whatever the problem was. They run good now. No change with Winchester 140g Match or...

    Thanks for the input. I have shot it with the gas closed; primers are flattish, but not alarmingly flat. I've seen worse in bolt guns. From there I did, several times, try to get the gas set correctly, opening a click at a time until the bolt would lock back on an empty mag. With Hornady...

    Update: spoke with a support person at JP this morning. He suggested using 2 of their tungsten weights in my SCS to keep the bolt closed a little longer. He also thought the not going into battery issue is bolt bounce and thought the heavier buffer and a lighter spring would fix this. He did...

    Thanks. I think I'll try getting some of the tungsten weights. Actually, I'll try calling JP first and asking if they feel that will help.

    That's what I've been thinking will be my next move. Thanks.

    Firing pin is the JP pin that came with the bolt. I can't switch to a non-JP pin because the firing pin hole through the bolt face is too small. I have not tried an entirely different bolt--the old bolt that often led to pierced primers or huge craters. I have not tried a different magazine...

    I thought that too. But the problems started after cleaning. Just to be sure everything was right I scrubbed the heck out of the chamber again yesterday, with no change in performance.

    Only the bolt, when I changed to the JP bolt, but it ran fine for around 300 rounds after that. The problems started after I cleaned the rifle, but for the life of me can't figure out how that would have caused these problems.

    I did get the firing pin with the bolt, but not the cam pin. The linked warnings don't seem to apply; the ammo is factory loaded so I presume isn't an excessive load. The other warning is for the JP BCG and non-DPMS uppers. I don't have the JP BCG, only the bolt and firing pin, and my upper...

    Looking For Help Troubleshooting Aero Precision 6.5 CM

    I've recently started having problems with my AP 6.5 Creedmoor. Two issues, may or may not be related. Note that these problems started after approximately 300 trouble-free rounds. First, with ammo I've been using since I put the gun together, I'm now getting fairly frequent blown primers--3...
