Great content: The Ripcord Ind. LDR1 Is ultimately the best style handguard on the market. In my opinion it's up their with the RIS III. It's just to bad I am a loser poor, and cannot remotely afford a 15" for my 13.9" build that would be a SiK combo!

@gob7116 10 ай бұрын

There’s pretty much only one way to have redundancy in sighting solutions and not need to take off your main optic. More often than not, the guys being pissy about BUIS don’t run the redundancy setup the right way because they’re likely busy hating on tall optic mounts and canted irons. Regardless, magnified optic, piggy back dot, canted irons, IR vis laser and light is the only way you’d have 5 sighting solutions that you can use simultaneously. (6 if you count point shooting). Rail mounted buis is a no go if they’ve got typically positioned magnified optics. If it’s a taller mount, they likely don’t have pass throughs either. That magnified optic has to go kaput to where the etched reticle is unusable before you’d want to remove the whole mount with qd and use irons. That’s a tough go considering optics have gotten so durable these days.

When I start a build the order i buy in is.. Barrel , BCG / Bolt , Rail and then receivers . I'm bias when it comes to Receivers so I only use couple and that's it . I'm actually super bias on all parts who am I kidding lol . When you shoot enough and find what works and has never failed. That's when you become bias when it comes to building . When it comes to buying your gonna be bias to whatever you buy because it's the best you got lol . Reliability , durability and accuracy is all I care about . When it comes to accuracy department i think its severely over rated . That's why my gold standard for accuracy is being able to go 3 for 3 on 10" plate from 0 - 300Y with my desired ammo I'm zeroed with . I shoot a lot of 2Gun matches and I've never been able not to hit a target at distance with 2 MOA gun . I'm not using Match ammo because that's not practical for for my accuracy standards. I have yet to see a AR pattern shoot SUB MOA groups every single time. Thata why I think practical accuracy is so much better and more realistic. I find myself using Dot with 3x on most occasions. I can still maintain that accuracy standard even with this setup . Obviously I'll need to be supported by something past 100Y .

@ComeOnPelican91 10 ай бұрын

Agreed, many people claim sub moa but I always have my doubts. Which receivers do you prefer? I like Centurion Arms but my experience is limited to CA, Aero, and Vltor.

@@ComeOnPelican91 When it comes to barrels . These are my preferred choices. Centurion , BA Hanson , Criterion and Colt SOCOM. BA 556N Hanson or 223W Hanson Premium Black Series is IMO the absolute best barrel for price and performance. Centurion MIDWEIGHT HF is my favorite and if I could only own 1 barrel that's what it would be . Colt SOCOM barrel I've been using for 15 years and has not let me down yet.. When it comes to BCG / Bolts . These are my go too . Colt / Colt Canada , Centurion , SOLGW , LMT , and Sionics .. These rails have never let me down and trust them even to this day . Centurion C4 Quad / MLOK , BCM QRF / MCMR , CMT HDM / HDX , and MI Combat MLOK / Quad. I'm still more of Quad fan than anything else . Centurion C4 Quad and BCM QRF12 are definitely my favorites

Alright, I like the look of the ripcord gun and it appears to have a very soft recoil impulse. Buuuut...how long does it take for that rail to really heat up? Usually with slim rails like that they get hot pretty fast. I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet so I'm quite curious.

@tomtomtheninja 11 ай бұрын

Some variables to consider. Barrel length, cadence of fire, suppressed or not. My 12.5 gets warm after shooting fast on the second mag suppressed. If your barrel is longer, it will take longer.
