Where to purchase a RPR barrel blank

[220 Swift AI]

I'm looking for the companies that I could purchase a 6mm ( preferably) 1:9 twist barrel blank for a RPR.

You can get any blank then right? By definition a blank isn’t profiled or chambered for anything. Just get a 6mm blank in the length you want and go to town.

I believe the rpr barrel is different than a standard blank but it's been a while since I had one apart.

Any competent gunsmith can make an RPR barrel from any blank. Now if your Smith cant contour than that's the problem. I've never heard of an RPR blank.. RPR barrels are made from the same blanks as any other barrel.

Nope same as any other blank. Just get the dimensions for the barrel extension, contour how u like and chamber.

Proof makes a “smith friendly” barrel... non carbon.

Just have your smith contour a Rem Varmint. That's what we do.
