Can you expand further on this statement?
Somewhere way, way back in this thread (or maybe others) I recall @RAVAGE88 saying that his research shows an advantage to twist rates faster than standard 1:16 but realizing that advantage can take more than just swapping barrels. Certainly there are anecdotes in this forum of people screwing on such barrels and seeing mediocre to abysmal results (especially with twists greater than 1:13)... others report improvement.

That's the entirety of basis for the statement - something I remember Mike saying quite awhile back.

Awesome suppressor muzzle brake front end attachment by Recoilx

I shot my gen1 recoil x on a silencerco omega 300 next to my gen2 recoilx on my sythe stm short, and i found the recoil impulse shorter/sharper on the gen2/sythe, the can is also more poppy than the omega. I’ll have to shoot it more but i feel the omega/gen1 was a more pleasant experience.
I agree. Of my three braked suppressors, the Omega with the 3 port brake feels the softest. Once the new SiCo brake comes in, I’m going to move the RX Comp brake to the Omega and will compare that to the Scythe with their new Bravo Directional brake.

Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

Alright, quick update since I have gotten a few inquiries.

1. “New” LPR - there is an “ICAR” variance of the LPR that is under consideration. As I have mentioned before here and in other threads, the preliminary testing of adaptating the current LPR to 6 ARC has supported our antidotal experiences from watching students, which is that cartridges like the 6 ARC can technically function within the confines of the “standard” AR15 receiver dimensions but at the cost of reliability/longevity of parts.

So to do 6 ARC properly, it really requires an intermediate action like the ICAR which is going to take some time. The good news with that is it will allow for integration for things like full ambi controls (🙄) that people want, as well as some enhancements that will make our lives easier on the manufacturing side. No ETA as of right now as this and the large frame have taken a back seat to the two following items.

2. The RDM4 - As alluded to in the past we are producing a TDP spec rifle that utilizes forged upper/lower receivers. The goal here is to bring some of the hand guard improvements we developed in the LPR but at a more cost effective price point and parts that will more readily interface with standard AR15s. Additionally we have been working hard on being able to offer a new line of barrels that support increased barrel life while maintaining accuracy under heavier firing schedules. This last part has been a process that has taken quite a bit of effort but in my opinion is going to lay the groundwork for some interesting opportunities.

This line will include complete rifles/uppers but also hand guards system as well. ETA is September 2025.

3. Current inventory shortages - We are pretty much not in stock for anything at the moment because manufacturing is under way to a new location. We’ve learned some things over the last two years in manufacturing and we are making some strides forward to streamlining efficiency of development and manufacturing timelines. We kinda tried to time this for the summer since it is the historical slow season in the industry. ETA is September to be back on track.

CHINA WAR INEVITABLE...SOONER THAN LATER

Back to the Original Topic of China, they have no reason to go to a hot war as they are already kicking our asses with the indirect Cold War - Propaganda, Insider Corruption, Spying, IP theft, hacking, fentanyl, etc, etc.......

China is stepping up their belligerence in the South China Sea, particularly with Taiwan and the Phillipines. Surely their eye is on the prize in their own neighborhood.

What scope to use for 100 yard groupings?

Agreed that I'm shooting groups with whatever scope the rifle is going to wear. I'm a big fan of the Leica PRS with PRB reticle, great glass and I love the center circle.

That said, my consistently best grouping rifle wears a VX-3i 8.5-25 with TMR reticle. I'd love to have a Leica on it, but it shoots so good, I'm afraid to change anything. :ROFLMAO:

Show yer Peacemakers, folks!

So, which of these would have been issued to LE at the time? Particularly, the Texas Rangers? I'm amazed there aren't speed loaders for it that work. I can't imagine being in a fire fight and having to stop to load each individual cylinder. Perhaps, maybe your partner took over for you while you stopped to reload, and vice versa.

As stated above, no speed loader ability. The fastest design is going to be the S&W model 3 and its variants (Schofield, Russian etc...). You got to at least eject all five cartridges at once, and with practice can do that with one hand.

You want fast, you carry another gun.
