    Army M24 Build Thread

    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...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    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.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    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...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Yeah I wouldn’t put the LPR in the same category as your 2A Armament simply because the LPR isn't designed as an Ultra-lightweight build out. The LPR is basically a modernized SPR/Recce Rifle concept and you need/want a certain balance of mass in a rifle if you expect it to maintain reliability...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    It’s not exactly in the same category (nor was it meant to be) as 2A Armament offerings…or NEMO for that matter. 7.65lbs as previously stated earlier in the thread. This is precision rifle, in a small frame, which is inherently lightweight relative to say a large frame. 😉

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Yes, it’s designed to be shot either or we did most of the testing and optimized around the Surefire RC2. As with any gas gun, low back pressure cans are ideal but it should be able to handle a variety. As I mentioned before it’s a intermediate, length gas system, which when paired with the A5...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Alright, been super busy QCing, building, testing and packaging but with the snow storm at hand I got moment to dive into the some of the points of interest regarding the LPR. Essentially this isn’t what I would call an “innovative” rifle but rather a “iterative” rifle as Alex says. Most things...

    Large Frame vs Small Frame Shooting Technique

    Gas technique (large or small) is the same. The larger frame guns just have more recoil and will exploit you inefficiencies more comparatively to a small frame.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    No. I don’t want to ask our shipping manager, he might stroke out at this point if I did ask. His also our ATF compliance officer and I don’t want his job if he dies.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Price point was put out somewhere around $3k-ish. I am not in sales (should be obvious) so don’t quote me, I am just the dude out back at loading dock blasting Creed during my lunch break. 😉 As accuracy goes it is not guaranteed it’s required. Each rifle leaves the factory with a 5 round proof...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Doubtful, carbon fiber has proven to be a little finicky (don’t get me wrong I have one that shoots lasers…but also have one that pretty 🫤) it’s just not worth the effort from a production standpoint when considering the number of customers asking in relationship to the cost. Additionally when...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Same principle as uppers applies here, it’s not a priority at the moment…but maybe someday.

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    Lots of good questions, I think at some point here it might be easiest to take a lunch break at some point this week and give you all a look under the hood as some of these questions are better suited for pictures. But I can answer some of those questions outright. Regarding the forged vs...

    Does it make sense...

    LRRPF52 pretty much presents the full spectrum circle we’ve journeyed on to get here today. It makes for a very useful map to identify where you are at, Lol! I would place you at approximately 2013-2015 in progression. 😅 The capability gap between the Recce and SPR specifications you have...

    Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

    There’s definitely a demand, it’s probably one of the most asked questions but I suspect the timeline for that depends heavily on the progress of primary priorities such as delivering full rifles.
