POI SHIFT SEEKINS IRMT VS RIDGELINE DEFENSE
- Thread starter MaximusDecimusMeidius
- Start date
Well, the LPR definitely measures less shift. It seems like a .1 for the LPR and a .2 for the AE. But, If you start at the beginning of that thread, Scott shot the LPR and had no shift.
There's no doubt in my mind though that the LPR is just in another league in terms of rigidity. I also struggle with not being biased towards the LPR because the 223 Barrel that I have in it is just a hammer and it continues to impress me. The Aero is housing a 22 arc barrel which just isn't as consistent as a straight 223 or quite as accurate so for me the comparison is kind of muddled. The other thing to keep in mind is the LPR is a thermal fit receiver whereas the Craddock barrel in the Aero upper is literally just tossing it in there.On the other side of this discussion, one can buy an Aero M4 enhanced upper receiver, sergeant of arms rail and a pro lower for 620 bucks. After I sell all the guts out of this LPR I might get the price down to $1,200 for the receiver set.
This is what happens when you accidently get one drop of anti-seize on your hands.
The good/bad thing about anti seize is that it stays put so you can make the same mess on disassembly years later!
I did get a little carried away with the anti seize but I wanted to make sure disassembly went smoothly lol

i would be using a proof barrel anyway
the only thing I might change about the lpr is to use either an oversized carrier or a carrier that has a flared tail and switch out a jp hp bolt into that type of carrier
everything else looks great, the upper to barrel connection being semi monolithic and i guess it's pretty neat how they reworked the gas block securing to the barrel being threaded with a nut pinching the block against a shoulder and it also being keyed is a nice touch
Has anyone taken pictures of the Ridgeline LPR side by side to compare the attachment from the upper to the barrel to the barrel nut or taken measurements of the thickness of the portion of the receiver near that area?
I know the LPR would be a thermal fit which seems like an advantage. You could always buy an oversized extension though if you wanted a seekins IRMT and do thermofit
the way the handguard attaches to the upper has more screws and it seems like each screw has more thread engagement
still just as confused as I originally was

You could use an oversized carrier if you what but I doubtful it would change anything meaningful in regards to accuracy/precision. I have yet to see any definitive evidence to support the concept for small frame ARs as a whole. I suspect there may be cases in which a poor tolerance stack might create a situation where a gun (subjectively) could be more sensitive to BCG orientation but the LPRs doesn’t seem to be overly concerned by the phenomenon.
thank you for pushing things forward for precision scoped carbine equipment and training
i think it has elevated the industry as a whole and helped individuals also
I could take a side by side of the LPR and the Aero Enhanced but I feel like I'm only going to get so many disassembles and assemblies out of the LPRs tiny little handguard dovetail screws before the heads give up, lol.
I would reemphasize the LPR is just stiffer and beefier in terms of how the handguard dovetails into the upper. There's more overlap.
I would agree with Rudy that I don't see a need for any special dovetail or enhanced BCG features. I have swapped out the Ridgeline BCG and JP LoMass BCG and shot rounds through the same ragged cluster. The only noticable difference was recoil.
