    I just did mine, it worked beautifully! I was able to clean it thoroughly and polish it to somewhat perfect! Thank you!

    Thank You Sir! I was interested in the polishing compound. I would not have known that was the polishing wheel.
  • Cool. Just did this to mine. Worked perfect and was easy to do.
  • 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
  • @evanf5985
    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
  • did you ever smooth your firing spring chamber and firing pin while breaking down to decrease drop time and decrease minute of angle ??????
  • @45auto
    Hmm, I may have to try the same thing on CZ 455 bolt. It definitely could be smoother.

    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.
  • You need to get some tools!!! They sell fairly nice kits for about $200
  • @ngirardo86
    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.
  • 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.
  • @Mountain_Man
    Great video but I was looking for the center fire version. Oh well still learned a lot;)
  • @adam25ny
    Great video!!!Would you recommend using millitec on the polish parts after?
  • 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.
  • @youeladamas7840
    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
  • 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??
  • @6creeder688
    Thanks for polishing it up before I won it lol
  • 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 ?
