    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.

    Yes this is one of the failures points of the 6ARC that needs to be addressed. There’s been pretty substantial improvements made in materials but truthfully I think it simply asking to much for long term reliability especially with consideration for HP cartridges that are on the horizon.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I actually haven’t seen too many Geissele rifles come through, but I only teach occasional now. All together though what I’ve seen has been pretty good in regards to barrel performance/reliability.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    There is a single 11.5” MLOK only LPR concept rifle we built for reasons. I like the idea of offering different LPR barrel and hand guard options and I think it will be a thing at some point in the future once LPR production is back on track.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    The RDM4 will use the same attachment method for the hand guard as the LPR but it will attach to a steel barrel nut in a more traditional manner to allow for use on TDP spec upper receivers. The combination of attachment and barrel nut material reduces the amount POI shift from the hand guard...

    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...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Yep beside our gas block/system setup it’s just a Proof barrel. Our profile around the gas block journal does help handle erosion around the gas port a little better but most people probably wouldn’t be able to see much difference. Over all though Proof is phenomenally consist, I’ve only seen...

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    I wish I had the time to mess around with hand loads, honestly I am not sure if I could really do better than what John is doing. I have maybe 150 casings and contemplating getting some dies but for now factory ammo is more cost effective. The 70gr. TSX is great too, though it had the biggest...

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    Averaged 2825 the other day at about 45 degrees, so roughly a little less than 1 FPS per degree across typical temperatures would be a good guess l.

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    Been running the Black Arc Mk262 “A” periodically over the last year. It has been pretty darn consistent in performance. The price point puts it above IMI or AAC but I think it’s worth it to have FGMM accuracy and +350 FPS.

    Army M24 Build Thread

    The “SFSC M24” (for a lack of better terms) which was mentioned previously, was in fact an issued rifle at SFSC Level 1, cira 2013ish. Essentially it was a M24 dropped into customs AI chassis, feeding from a standard SA AICS magazine. While some students might bring their own issued rifles...

    Around the gas-block is very tight, I would be very cautious trying to mount any though those slots. Everywhere else is functional. Again we just need to be aware of actual screw lengths. I’ve come across 3 or 4 different length MLOK screws, they’re far from universal.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Alrighty, since there has been some discussion about what gas blocks may or may not fit under the handguard, I figured the best way to help is simply dropping the actual dimensions of the handguard cross section… This should help, but remember it’s not necessarily an absolute given the...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    It wasn’t really designed to be removed outside of factory settings…but a lot of heat is what you need. 😉

    .223/.556 ammo recommendation

    Black Arc Mk262 “Alpha”(NAS3) 77 SMKs at 2750-2900fps (16-18” rifles) Good SDs and has been solidly sub-MOA Edit: this data sheet was only about 100 rounds into this particular rifle, and this rifle now does 2825fps and 0.7ish with the same lot of ammunition. If you want to push 5.56 to its...
