    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    No my response was not meant to be snarky, as it was not at all sarcastic, rude or impertinent. The response was humorous yes and perhaps too dark for taste but nonetheless relevant to addressing the misconception purposed. I meant no offense, nor do I take any and I can appreciate the age old...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    🙄 No it was not made for QP, it was made for murder. 🙃 Edit: Lol, Due to the political sensitivity of the age we all live in, allow me to expand on that comment. The RD LPR is at its heart a purpose built fighting rifle. We specifically geared the LPR towards the professional end user (and...

    Aero M4e1 Upper POI Shift

    Yeah sometimes coming in a notch on the stock help shooters get behind the rifle a little better, as long as it’s not too much of a compromise in the LOP. The lateral POI shifts could be from sloppy NPA (it’s very tempting to muscle the rifle in a tripod/barricade). Could be from over/under...

    Aero M4e1 Upper POI Shift

    @bigjake83 actually did a really in-depth review on “fixing” some of the OBR shortcomings https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/a-tale-of-three-larues-large-frame-review-part-1-obr.7213077/ I believe my particular OBR might have suffered from this problem he mentioned where the hand guard...

    Aero M4e1 Upper POI Shift

    So what I’d recommend is mapping out any mechanical POI shift and document the correct in angular units. I like to then, using a paint pen, write that correction directly on the buttstock as a reminder. You can then dial or hold that correction (in addition to your normal elevation) as need as...

    Aero M4e1 Upper POI Shift

    I agree, positional shift is often a mix of mechanical influence of the hand guard along with subtle changes to the attitude of the body in relation to the rifle, and which obviously any error of parallax would be exaggerated. This last part about parallax creeps in a lot when concerning LPVOs...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    77gr. FGMM has been statistically one of the most consistent performing .223/5.556 factory loads. Black Hills is a close second but it’s been a little more lot to lot these days.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I would tend to disagree on the point of gas systems not be critical to accuracy. I honestly think it’s one of the most overlooked aspects of building accurate ARs. I would probably base it 3rd in my priorities right after having a quality barrel and tight receiver interface. In regards to...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Yeah we are in a way insulating our selves from certain markets and there is some intention behind that. That may seem odd to draw a boundary but being as we’re just starting this part of our company that means we can’t be everything to everyone. Our initial goal was a rifle designed and...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Others have inquired, but let me answer for the group. Can it be done? Yes there are no proprietary tools needed but knowledge of induction heating would be required, along with corresponding skill sets. I don’t want to belittle anyone but successful disassembly is likely beyond your typical...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    I honestly don’t know enough to say what that time line is like at the moment. I am sure there are growing pains as we scale up, so please be kind to Blake, besides managing the rifles they also manage shipping for our Outfitter warehouse. My focus has been part QC, production and test fire...

    The boys in shipping are working through the list (which was massive long) but I’d say we should be through by June.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    This version of the rail has integrated ARCA. There is a prototype rail that’s full M-LOK, so I won’t say it could never be an option (hard parts done but the integrated ARCA, this is the way.

    I’d have to get my glasses but I am pretty sure that’s an early RFID button.

    DMR/QP/Precision Gas Gun Match Build

    This is not a good strategy, unless of course you’re one of the many people that simply enjoys chasing your own tail. Any of the cartridges you mentioned do have ballistic advantages noticeable when in comparison to 5.56 match…when reviewing ballistic charts. What you don’t always see is the...

    Which is literally (pretty sure I am using that word correctly here) why I said there’s good reason “even beyond patent infringement”.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Thanks for the design consolation doc, checks in the mail. 🙄 There’s good reason (even beyond patent infringement) why one might want to in corporate certain elements and avoid others. Only change I’d look back to make is a straight gas tube and that’s simply for convenience, not even performance.

    You might have to hold your breath. Only one in existence at the moment…and she’s mine.

    BCM MK2 BFH Govt Profile Accuracy? Also looking Centurion LW

    ^this It’s not that a lightweight barrel can’t be accurate (precise) but most Gov profiled barrels aren’t starting their life with a manufacturer who’s intent is to make a barrel for precision applications. Out of a theoretical batch of say 100 “run of the mill” AR barrels you’ll have a...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Well could it be improved on? Yes, I mean that’s how we got to this point of development, we took ideas already in play and made some improvements. Improvements are always a balance between performance gains and efficiency in effort, especially in regards to actually bring something to...
