What carriers work with the SWD RLL?
 

Are there any bolt carriers that will work with a RLL straight out of the box other than a factory Colt SP1? It looks like a DPMS would but I have never seen it confirmed. :?:

I have read that the DPMS will work but I don't own one... All of the carriers that I have and use are Colt SP1s...

Really, anybody know for sure? Also, do the DPMS 7.62x39 carriers work the link too?

This is a good subject that is never really discussed. Some people have hopes of getting a RLL but have no idea of possible components for a host gun. You should add a list of lowers and carriers on the RLL and RDIAS pages that are compatible with each component. It would give people enough time to mock up a legal semiauto host gun and then if they get approved it is just plug and play. Why is this such a taboo subject? You can see my RLL but not my carrier? If or when the Stewart case goes to the supreme court there is a slim chance that people will be allowed to make their own LL's or DIAS again depending upon their ruling and it would be great to be prepared with a host gun that is already legal now if the known components were readily available.

After we get some feedback there I will ummarize here as all things get deleted off ARFCOM at some point....

my chromed dpms wasnt hard to modify
 

just had to take it down from about .4" to .38" on the rear and square it a bit so that the paddle would not strike the curved edges first. I like to use a thicker paddle and it is a little difficult to close. Another .01 would make that a lot easier, and I dont really think that it would affect reliability, but I do not have any way to add material back if I didnt like it.

Really only takes 3 or 4 minutes with a carbide bit on a dremel. So that makes me think that it is a good option. A real sp1 is usually 20 years old and never has easy to clean surfaces.

I know the RDIAS will work with both Bushmater Guns as well as Olympic Lowers, the Oly Lower has a Model1 Sale's upper on it
They will NOT Fit in a Rock River Arms Lower due to the Depth of the recess below the Rear Lug
As for the RLL, if I was going to spend the money on one of those I would think that modifying slightly any carrier I had would be a small price to pay. Just my thought on that.

I just installed one in my $89 Stag lower, with outstanding results. Used an un-modified DPMS carrier. Also had to shorten the top of the paddle a bit

There was a minimum of dremmeling involved (to the lower) not difficult - and later, and I did square up the back of the carrier. It beat having to shell out $$ for an SP1

Posted some pics of how I accomplished it, on a different thread / here:

By the way I was one of those ppl who bought a RLL because it was a good deal at the time (almost a year ago) with no clue what I was going to run it in. I can't believe it took me this long to get around to playing with it.

My whole set-up, including the RLL, put me out around $7,200 <pinch pinch>

This "Stag solution" came as a result of shopping for an SP1, then thinking I'd better explore what I've already got, more throroughly

I have no idea, yet, if a select-fire kit will work in this Stag - tune in a year from now and hopefully I'll have gotten around to it - yeah, that busy

Have a Safe & Happy New Years, folks

The select fire kit will work with that lower just fine... Congrats and welcome to the club!
