Is there a trick to finding the RD15 receiver sets?
I googled it and the only thing that comes up is the complete rifles and uppers.

Ridgeline Defense RD-15 LPR

Their menu-ology isn't super intuitive.
Upper left hand menu button -> Rifle Upgrades - Rifle Upgrades again
Ordered one, I'm going to slap one of the new Geissele 18" SPR Cut Rifled Barrels in her, or a 16" Kreiger SDM barrel that I've had forever that needs a good home.
I've already got all the other parts in stock that RLD currently use in thier complete rifles to finish it off.
If my Handloads go well in my current ARC rifles, I'll have Paul spin up a 20" Bartlein 6 ARC or 22 ARC.

They would double their profits overnight if they did, a RD-10 would be pretty damn close to a SP10 build kit and they are truly unobtainium.
IMO the SP10 builders kits we're the best on the market for home builders.
I watched the 4 part series the Rudy did on YouTube, the RD-15 currently has a .875 Gas Block Journal with a pretty beefy Gas Blcok so it's a safe bet you can run just about anything you want under .963
Both of my prospect barrels that I'll be using have a .750 Gas Block Journal so it wont be an issue. I do have a couple new 20" and 22" Bartlein's .875 Match Heavy barrels that i keep on hand so i don't have to wait 6 months for a replacement if one or my mine go south. I'll seat both to verify the .875 clears without issue.
A gas block can have clearance while still contacting the handguard during firing. I've had to clreance a handguard even though it looked fine; there was poor accuracy and wear marks starting to show.
I see a lot of people with cantilevered mounts in these rifles. It looks like you’d almost never need them since the upper receiver has a few extra pic rails. Has anyone actually found that they needed a cantilevered mount?
Also, when swapping out for an ambi lower…what has everyone been using? It only seems to go onto one of the 4 I’ve tried putting it on…I had heard it’s a tight fit but am still surprised how tight it actually is.

Mine didn’t fit on any of lowers until I put it on an older spikes lower I have that’s like 20 years old. I was told they are made that way so you can “fit” them to your lower.
I am using a non cantilever C1 Max badger mount.
With a Mk5 it puts my eye relief in the same spot as a c1 cantilever on a standard receiver.
To be completely honest, this entire project was a "side quest" so that we could justify making the rifle we always wanted. Pretty much figured we would sell the initial run and that would be the end of it. The response we received was more than we anticipated. We are a small, self-funded company so inventory management is a high priority. We've also witnessed the cautionary tales of many small companies that had "crowdsourced" their growth only to not delivery in a timely fashion and didn't want to fall prey to that model. We don't live in a vacuum, we hear the requests and we are working very hard on our initiative to meet the demand signals. Threads like these are an amazing resource for us to be able to interact with folks we might not otherwise get the chance to and listen to their input. All that to say that your requests do not fall on deaf ears, we're working on it.
