Rock River Arms Question
Shot my new RRA LAR-15 yesterday and noticed a large bulge in the empty cases about quarter inch above the rim. The barrel is a 20 inch NM stainless steel. My Bushmaster does not do this so is this normal for a RRA?

Doesn't sound normal to me. My RRA doesn't do that; I suspect a mis-reamed chamber, or an over-pressure load. Any chance of a picture?

Me and cameras just don't go well together. I was using standard Remington and Winchester loads.
The barrel has a Wylde chamber and it looks like I will have to send it back to RRA.
Thanks for the response.

Bulged Case
Bren,
If the bulge is 1/4" in front of the rim, that places the bulged area within the chamber.
I'm sure that RRA will want several of the fired cases returned with the upper.

I would send it back pronto..
I bought one of the early RRA NM uppers back in 2000, and it was ripping the rims off brass, front sight was off center and had other issues, I sent it back, and they sent me a new upper. Also had 2 NM triggers replaced by them, but these 2 have held up well for 6 years now.

Talked to the people at RRA and they gave me an RMA number. The rifle will be shipped out tomorrow.
I wonder if they will send me a Bushmaster? Just dreaming.

They'll make it right. I've been selling RRA products for 10 years now, and have seen but a few issues. For products built by humans it's been pretty impressive.
