Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

No unfortunately we are Winchester at the moment, I’d say mid-September is the earliest before production starts rebooting.
When you reboot, will the stripped upper/arca handguard be available by itself?
Out of curiosity will this rail system be available for any standard upper? Also will there a version available for sr-25 pattern rifles? Thanks.
Anyone have issues with failure to feed? Just did the break in and had some issues pop up where the round didn't properly feed after 2-3 rounds and the bolt didn't stay open after the last round. I assume maybe it was the buffer. Any thoughts?
Shooting AAC 77g and badlands 77g used new PMAGs and ensured the rifle was well lubed. Thanks in advance
On the positive side, the shot groups were extremely tight. I can't wait to get this performing right and take it to my next competition.

Are you using the weak aac ammo? Have you tried razor core or other full power ammo ?
When doing a function check I'd always try to use a standard 3oz (H0) carbine buffer weight and standard strength spring. This way you can tune if from there if it runs a little hard (swap H0 for H1 or H2). If you are still short stroking with h0 you likely have an issue somewhere else (gas port too small, gas rings worn out on bolt, gas key is loose on carrier, gas block misaligned, gas tube not going into the upper far enough, too much friction inside of bolt carrier/upper, etc.).

Worn Gas Rings or those BS one peace JP gas rings will cause failures as well.
Forgot about that with the rd15. Thought I had seen photos though of a few that were off center.
@elnino57 do you know if you have the Gen 1 BCG or the one that they swapped out? I think there was a bad batch from their supplier and the second ones had a different sized logo.
They swapped mine at their shop so I can take a photo next week when I'm home. Or shoot them an email with a pic of it.
@NHPiper. The gas block appears to be centered. Attached is a picture of the bolt. No clue if it is gen 1 or not. Let me know if you need a picture of the entire bolt.
I just ordered a lighter buffer and will see if that does the trick.
@BurtG Used a match grade 77g from Badlands Mentions and also used PMC 55g all with the same issue.

Like others have said, that's the recalled one. The Ridgeline guys are first class. I am sure if you contact them for an RMA they will get you squared away ASAP.
I am pretty sure I'm running an H2 but can't remember if it's in front of a G super duty or sprinco spring. It cycles 100% with either an RC2 or RC3, although the RC3 is noticeably softer shooting.
