    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Thank you for the reply. I'm still planning on testing one of the complete RD-15. The Radian MOD 1 has a surprisingly compact Handguard inner diameter that restricts the ability to run a .875 Adjustable Gas Block. I recently finished a 6ARC Radian build with a 22" Bartlein, +2 Gas with a .800...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    By feel, just applying pressure to the barrel from left to right. When comparing to other (Standard) design Handguard and Upper Receivers that attach the handguard directly to the barrel nut, Geissele, SOLGW Broadsword, the Radian has the most flex compared to the above. I have three total, 2...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Whats the handguard flex on the RD15 like? My SOLGW Broadsword Builder kits are Bolt Gun rigid. Surprisingly my Radian's have the most Handguard flex out of all my rifles.

    New Purchase?

    Yes, I just received the replacement barrels with thier new adjustable gas block. So far everything looks good. Waiting for a break in the weather, kinda hard to shoot groups when you can't feel your fingers. Send me a PM with your information, I've got to get a hold of them next Tuesday and...

    JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

    I've used the JB Blue Bore paste for years, Frank White was a big supporter of it. I switched several years ago to the KG line, works better for me.

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    Thanks brother, .004 is about perfect, but I just recently bought some Redding Micrometer adjustable taper crimp dies. When it starts to warm up I'm going to reload some of my Pet Loads and do some comparing between Crimp and Neck Tension and see what provides lowest SD/ES. I bump mine .003...

    Is it possible to become a really skilled long range shooter with a semi-auto?

    I honestly 100% disagree with this statement it's quite the opposite. I've been shooting Gassers my whole life, literally my first rifle was my Grandfather's M1 Garand, if anything shooting Bolt Guns will handicap you because it allows you to be lazy with your fundamentals while Semi Auto...

    Monolithic uppers coming from Icon Defense (former Mega Arms guys)

    Yes the Gas Block Journal is .875, the barrel is a Custom Contour of mine.

    Monolithic uppers coming from Icon Defense (former Mega Arms guys)

    LMT isn't better than a quality MML Setup, people have been cannibalizing the LMT barrels or having custom jobs done like DW is doing now all the way back when Flounder was working at GAP. The MWS is built like a Tank and in 99% of the LMT MWS I've owned they averaged 1.2"-1.5" MOA on a good...

    New Purchase?

    Actually yes, they're mid pack in terms of accuracy (.75-ish MOA) as a complete rifle. I love thier Ambi lowers, but the upper is nothing to write home to mom about and thier handguards look to be made by SLR, lightweight but not Geissele or SOLGW rigid.
