    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Ok, so I poked my head into marketing/sales and it sounds like there will probably be something for Black Friday but exactly what hasn’t been nailed down. Also a recent question was asked about stand alone upper receiver dropping prices to mirroring the rifle but I don’t have anything concrete.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    All LPR uppers are made on the same assembly benches, to the same standards. The standalone uppers get pulled prior testing as there are simply to many variables with components outside of our control to bother with, them being standalone sub-assemblies. 99% of the time it should be fine but we...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I honestly don’t know but looking at the website it shows it listed at “$1799” which is the same price originally I think. I’ll ask someone who knows. And for those curious about stand alone uppers in FDE, yes they are coming at some point but every that is FDE is going to rifles at the moment.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Naw I don’t hand load for .223/5.56 these days as it’s just not worth the effort. Factory ammo is pretty good and my time is worth more than any theoretical savings I might gain sitting behind a reloading bench. But a 77smk sitting over 23.8 of 8208 is a classic load mimic of Mk262 though and...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Thanks for reaching out, I look forward to catching the email and getting some more details. Typically anytime there is an issue we'll conduct a RMA to try and nail down exactly what's happing. While I wait, I think the best way to answer what I can is to walk through the LPR specs which I...

    ROK rifle ID?

    In 2017 I spent 6 months imbedded with ROK SF/SOF task forces for the “decapitation” mission. I worked predominantly with the SF Brigades but as a sniper SME I got to spend a little time with the 707 as well. During that deployment the 707s main 50cal was the AW50 equipped with S&B of some...

    6mm arc PRS gas gun division

    I think your expectations are on the upper end of what is realistically possible. 1/2 MOA gas-guns are rare things, 1/2 MOA shooters are equally few and far between. What components are you working with?

    I filmed it already but I blacked out, so not 100% sure but I think that’s what is next though.

    If (big if here) a 6 ARC can be made to an acceptable MRBS/F then maybe within the year but it’s a tall order. A 14.5 (Proof barrel) LPR is drawn up but it’s back burner project. I suppose you could cut a 16” LPR if you’re feeling crafty. I wouldn’t go changing the bolt though.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    1.) There is a 11.5/12.5 CQBR (basically a compact LPR) on the drawing board currently. Not sure which length just yet but I do have some prototype 11.5 barrels from the RDM4 project that have shown some great results. 2.) Regarding the difference in design, I’d wager it’s fairly similar from...

    I’ve been lobbying hard for FDE, not allowed to make promises of exactly when but its coming.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Just in case anyone misses this thread… https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/ar-positional-poi-shift-test.7221976/ This highlights one of the main design development goals of the LPR, mitigation of positional POI shift. Precision is one thing and accuracy is another but it’s most...

    This is actually my preferred method, the optic package seen is just what was lying around in the shop. RDSs off the 12 or 1-2 o’clock always feels more natural to me, typically requiring less movement to employ, easily clears lights/lasers/UNS and most optimal for passive NV use.

    It seems that FEG HD-18 Dragunov clones are actually becoming available

    You won’t feel too bad in a few years when they double in price again. 🤣

    It seems that FEG HD-18 Dragunov clones are actually becoming available

    There’s an old idiom: “the market is rational but people are not.” Are SVDs overrated in performance compared with modern semi-auto platforms? Yes. Will that stop people from going bananas over them? No. I’ll just have to consider my trigger time behind the SVDs to be a blessing enough, as...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Look, I’m here under my own name with the intention for everyone to see. There is no mystery as to who I am, nor my purpose in this thread. If you are going to make yourself known then do so plainly. My personal perspective on war and peace clearly differs from yours and while I would love to...
