You should probably hide that poverty pony lower in the back. People might get the wrong ideer
Jokes on them all my lowers are aero Anderson bushmaster tier. Shit even the m16 is a bushmaster lol
Lowers don’t matter

16” SPR. I’ve run it through a few DMR/team matches and it’s an accurate, reliable gun. Running gear is comprised of BHW SPR profile(mid-length 1:8), Geissele LP Block, LMT BCG, Geissele H1 and braided wire spring.
Recycled a WOA SDM barrel into a new host.
think it’s gonna be better than the proof barrel ?
Did you re use gas block ?
Was barrel a b to get out ?
It shoots objectively better than the Proof. The gun came with a test target at .89". And it shoots on average .8". With MK262 it shoots a few .7's, a few 1.2"s and mostly .8/.9". The MK262 runs 2695fps with SDs barely under 10. The WOA barrel shoots between .5 and .8" but instead of round groups like the Proof it clusters 3 or 4 rds in about .2 or .3 and it's the occasional odd round that opens it up. It shoots the same MK262 at 2830 with SDs just under 10. Same velocity increase with hand loaded 75's and 77's with 8208 and TAC.
There's no way to re-use use the RD gas block on another barrel. A barrel would have to be machined to accept the RD gas block. Although I really do like the design of it. It's probably the easiest GB to install and remove. Much better than traditional GBs. The ID of the RD handguard is pretty small so a person has to be very selective about finding an extremely low profile GB. The Seekins adjustable I originally had on the WOA wasn't even close to fitting. I tried an Aero GB and it juuussst had enough clearance but the WOA barrel was shooting like the Proof when it had shot much better in the original gun so I swapped it for a BRT gas block which is really slim. I ended up having to heat up the BRT GB to get it on the journal and now it isn't going anywhere, lol. That eliminated the .9 to 1.2" groups so the Aero GB was too large.
The proof barrel was pretty easy to take off. I really like the profile they chose as well. The whole disassembly was straight forward and fairly easy. The jam nut in the GB and the barrel nut both had grease on them and came loose with a crescent wrench at about 40-50 ft lbs. There was a residual ring of green loctite in the corner of the flange on the barrel extension. I warmed the upper lightly and used a .85" wooden dowel rod to pound the barrel out while the upper was warm. It didn't take long and it came out pretty easy with a little bit of heat. The handguard is also thermally fitted. Just heat it up from the outside and pull it off. You'll have to warm it back up again to reinstall it. Mine had a bur on the inside edge of the handguard. Like whoever installed it nicked the inside edge and a bur rolled and smeared. Made it a little tougher to remove. The hardest part is reinstalling the small screws that hold the square locking plates in. There are three of them and they're basically held on with loctite. They're the shortest screws I've never seen used. They were probably torqued on at 10 or 15 in pounds and they must only have about two turns of thread engagement. It would be very easy to strip the heads on them. I do not recommend reinstalling them without some blue loctite and a 10inlb torque limiter. If a person wanted to buy a spare parts kit for their LPR, they should definitely get three extra of these screws and the locking plates.
The other issue I had with the LPR handguard is there's not really any room for MLOK accessories with a larger barrel. I started out with 4 XLR side weights and shit two 1.5" groups with high and low fliers so I removed them and the groups tightened right up. The original Proof profile makes a lot of sense in this handguard but I'd like to have a bigger barrel for the weight and still be able to use MLOK accessories.
I use the REA5 extensions and buffers in all my blaster ARs so I can't say I'm wow'd by the recoil impulse. The WOA barrel was originally on a lower that had a rifle length receiver tube and a JP SCS H2. It also has an Ergo zero grip and a single stage 3.5lb trigger. The recoil impulse is wildly different across these two guns. I get a traditional AR two stroke impulse and a loud "sprowwwanngg" sound with the LPR. The other rifle is a short, quick, single stroke recoil jar straight back. Quiet and quick. I'll probably remove the A5 system and put an SCS H2 on the LPR in a couple of weeks.
There's a video on YT from JP showing how they thermally fit their barrels. If that video looks easy, it was just that easy to swap out the barrel on the LPR.
Got the LPR 15 out again this morning. I replaced the A5 buffer tube with an Aero enhanced carbine length and dropped a JP SCS H3 in it. I declined to use Ridgeline's castle nut and end plate and instead replaced it with a PWS ratchet castle nut. While I was making sure the SCS would run as configured I tested some bulk 77 grain that I'm loading on the 650. I'm using new primed Winchester brass that I picked up off of Mid-South for $0.29 a piece and throwing 24 grains of ramshot tac with a Redding br30 mounted on a Dillon powder die. I also wanted to test the Berger 73 BT. I shot them over 8208 and tac.
The three tungsten buffer SCS functioned perfectly and changed the recoil impulse and sound to a sharper, flat "clack" sound and a shorter jolt to the rear.
This WOA barrel previously loved 8208/ 75gr BTHPs But since since moving the barrel to the Ridgeline receiver, it generally does not shoot 8208 exceptionally well. Tac has repeatedly produced better groups in this barrel now that it is in a different receiver. If I'm honest I don't really understand it, but it is pretty observable. It wants to repeatedly turn in five round groups in the .3's but the first round flyers were killing me today. One of those four shot clusters measure less than .2 the rest are in the.3's. If I can figure the first round flyer phenomenon out this gun will be sitting pretty. I'm going to replace the grip with a Magpul K2 + XL and I have a BRT gas tube on order that will be configured for a JP lo mass BCG. Still on the fence if I'm going to replace the Geisselle with a trigger tech Adaptable. The geisselle is pretty damn good by itself but I'm just not a big fan of two stage triggers in precision rifles.

Honey Badger SD (Honey Badger SD specific silencer) but with a 6” rail installed instead of the 12”. Set up for primarily low light. The 12” doesn’t really do much and you need a rail cover as it gets very hot from silencer underneath. The 6” also allows for silencer to be removed while also shortening the stowed rifle for backpack or similar storage/transport.

Of course this is the part where all the offended parties with junk jump up and holler they have no problems and their lowers are “just as good”. We can ignore those people already as they are sadly lacking in subject, as well as grey matter.
Please excuse the formatting of the above, my iPad hates the forum software.
The 11.3" Craddock Bartlein barrel in this "pistol"/PDW really needs a LPVO instead of an Aimpoint T-2.
I really like the Cerakote - Accuracy Int'l Dark Earth.
sweet setup brother
did you have to heat the upper to barrel connection up to remove the barrel from the receiver since the original Ridgeline LPR barrel was thermo fit?
Yep. Lightly heated it and then tapped it out with a 7/8" wooden dowel rod. The barrel extension had a little bit of remnants of green loctite in it too.
