I know RRA isn’t known for making really nice M4 feed ramp cut on their rifles (upper receiver). Here’s what I have. I’m shooting semi only…at most rapid fire (if I have to). Do these look like a potential weak point to you guys? They aren’t machined really deep. I’m trying to right the wrongs so to speak if there are any on my Entry Tactical.
Looks like they did a little Dremel work on an standard receiver that didn’t have M4 feed ramps machined into it. I wonder if the barrel ext. is regular vs. M4? It should be good enough, but I don’t think it has a genuine M4 receiver/receiver ext. feed ramps. Looks like what I did to a Stag upper I once had.
Just curious did you do that Dremel job yourself? Just curious because in pic #3 there appears to be shavings on the right side of the inner part of the receiver.
Hell no. It’s lint/dust from my floor and the light. The rifle is 100% unfired by me. I haven’t had the chance to buy mass quantities of ammo and hit the range.
Wow, if that appears to be metal shavings to you, I wonder what else you see.
I’ve put about 500-1000 rounds downrange with my RRA, on feed ramps that look exactly the same with absolutely NO hiccup. (Actually I’m glad that you posted this because I’ve always been curious about the feedramps myself.)
While they’re not M4 feedramps (they don’t look like it, right?), I’ve shot about 100 rounds of 50gr hollowpoints out of it and never once did it fail to feed, fire and extract.
In my humble and relatively inexperienced opinion, unless you’re shooting full auto in adverse conditions I wouldn’t worry much about the feed ramps.
Hope this helps.
Edit: I have to admit, these LMT feedramps are sexy (and confidence inspiring) though:

That round count & grain weight doesn’t test M4 feed ramps (fyi).

This incorrect. M4 feed ramps help on SA, especially with ammo that is above 62gr.
