Oh man, this video is long overdue! I've been super busy lately but more details to come on that later! This video was shot during the weekend of shot show and I met up with steve so he can show off the blasters they're making! The rifle was made right! I was surprised to see how much went into building these guns. It really made me appreciate all these companies that put in a lot of work to build a well-tuned machine!

So let me be clear on and address alot of the comments. Dont think that steve or anyone in the video is trying to come up with some wazzu shit. Dont get me wrong, what hes saying to ryan and i is news to us only because we dont know this stuff lol. Steve is a good buddy of mine who has a passion for these guns hes making and like i said, after i shot them i was impressed. Can you slap a gun together or buy one from a manufacture that shoots as well? Hell yes you can and thats awesome! Personally for me i love the passion he has for building these guns and i wanted to give him a platform to speak about his passion as i would for any one of my friends. ALSO! yes i understand the rail looks like other rails on the market. Lets be honest, that can be said about every rail, reciever group and accessories on the market. The guys and gals at ripcord added their own flare which to some may not be needed and again.. THATS OKAY

It literally doesn't matter, because they will be at vastly different temperatures anyway. Temperature of the bolt plateaus while the carrier and chamber side of the barrel will continue to climb in a DI gun, in a piston gun the bolt and carrier barely get any heat.

Yeah that rail is a copy of a Vltor rail

[@mrglocklover9]

Products are evolutionary. If you’re a good engineer/inventor you will look at current products and note their downfalls and build off of that. Example: steel vs aluminum barrel nut. That’s an improvement in itself if you understand basic heat transfer. Ripcord specifically holds incredibly tight consistent tolerances. You pay for experience, quality, consistency and material selection, which to me means more than having a new snake oil handguard for you IG account. 🚀🌙

[@Nontacticalboy]

@@mrglocklover9 well the reason I ask, is I was wondering if there is any story behind the similarity. Beside the stuff you mentioned, there could be something more administrative reasoning such as they know each other, or Ripcord used to work in Geissele and he designed it? Stuff like that.

Maybe your "engineer" degree isn't all that useful for -- you know -- actual mechanical aptitudes.

[@hunterriley755]

@@seanoneil277 idk man, it seems like there’s a flaw in the logic. The greatest moment is where the handguard mounts to the upper and that moment decreases in magnitude as you move away from the fixed point. I understand making the barrel nut longer because you essentially decrease the length of the lever arm and in turn the magnitude of the moment, but beefing up the middle of the rail doesn’t make sense from an engineering standpoint. The part of that rail that is going to fail is right after the barrel nut ends and where all of the mlok begins if it’s subjected to a load at the end of the rail. Filling in the mlok at the middle portion of the rail does not make the weakest link any stronger and it’s still going to fail in the same place. Obviously they can’t really get rid of the mlok at the receiver end of the rail because guys like to mount slings and stuff back there so that just makes it seem like more of a marketing thing or a misunderstanding of the statics that go into it. I may be misunderstanding the design a bit or maybe I’m misunderstanding something else but that’s my take on it.

When I seen that 10.5” on full auto barely move 😦, I was like holy shit! That thing must be tuned perfect.

[@disturbedproject]

Wtf I didn't know Steve started a whole damn gun company. Are they partnered with vltor at all?

[@skeetlejuice522]

When my AK stops working if it ever does at least I can use it as an effective club

[@SnapD24]

Honestly, any properly-built rifle with a Criterion barrel is gonna be a-ok with me. Nice to be able to put a face with Ripcord Ind.

[@rytacarms]

Definitely didn’t seem like a 30 minute video. More things to do check and research on

[@Dopeboyz909]

Missed your content 😭🔥

[@rlm2010az]

Great vid

[@eryk6688]

Look like Mojo turned into a shill since he got fired. Dope content bro. Maybe you and Larry Vickers can collab on some stuff for caaaaaaaaaashhhhhh

[@milspec_mojo]

Dude a collab with Larry would be dope! maybe we can throw Garand thumb in there and admin results and we can have a shill of a party ❤️❤️❤️

10:39 says a little under 1 moa. Everyone makes this claim. "Sub-moa guarantee with factory match loads" blah blah. No. Dont make such a bold claim unless youre going to show it in video at 100 yds with multiple 5 shot groups. I guarantee youre over 1.25 moa on a good day. Probably over 2.00 moa with the cheap 55gr ammo youre claiming to have used. At 10:50 you say 1.73 "inch moa." "Inch MOA" doesn't mean anything. 1 moa at 100yds isn't 1 inch if that's what you mean. It's 1.047", which is close, but when youre confidently giving people MOA figures on video for your product to the one-hundredth of an MOA (2 decimal places), then you demonstrate you don't know the difference between inch and MOA, you kind of lose a lot of credibility. Imagine if Buggati stated that their new car has a top speed of 267 mile kilometers per hour, lol. I hate to be the negative nancy in your comments, but you spend a lot of time talking about how you headspace bolts as if that's something special you do, and although almost no home builder is taking the time to do that, it is a very basic and easy to to do step. Are you taking the time to bevel your ejectors to reduce brass shaving build-up? Are you lapping the bottoms of your gas keys? Something I wish more companies did was gauge every spec of their bcg, barrel, and receivers to verify and guarantee TDP specs. I got so tired of well renowned companies putting out expensive, out of spec crap that I just bought all the SOTAR gauges. It takes 2 minutes to verify all TDP specs on the main components. Theres no reason high end companies shouldn't be doing that for every rifle they produce.

[@itzflash6241]

I don’t understand why they don’t make a 13.5 rail?? I have a 14.5 barrel. I am getting a suppressor but my handguard needs to be 13.5 so the suppressor sits flush with it. But the only close handguard is 13.13.

[@King__titus]

Your content has excelled so much since your separation from LE

[@tmgjurassic3738]

I am not understanding the rail comment. A rail that is a typical mlok rail that is skelotonized is just as strong at any point (Fe de = Fl dl) . The connection method makes a difference, a longer rail has more potential to move under load because it is a lever. Having a shorter rail will add more structural rigidity than adding solid sections to the rail.

[@roberthutchinson2856]

They should have just made it solid all the way down until the very end

[@seanoneil277]

You are not looking at the situation holistically enough. The extended lever problem is only one aspect of the situation. Steve didn't say he was trying to resolve the extended lever scenario where handguard rotates relative to upper. Why would you understand him as discussing that?

[@px106l]

@@seanoneil277 I didn't talk about a rotational issue. He said that they wanted a stiffer upper in order to stop shift on something like a DBAL which as you know you have to site in. So if you are putting pressure on your upper and it flexes, your point of aim and point of impact will shift.

[@seanoneil277]

@@px106l Oh but you did describe rotational impulses, you probably just weren't thinking of them that way. Here's what you said - "The connection method makes a difference, a longer rail has more potential to move under load because it is a lever." Which way is it going to move, under that load? Maybe you just don't picture things that way, but that's the likeliest movement under the scenario you described, which I quoted above.

[@px106l]

@@seanoneil277 a rotational impulse describes torque (I think), I was talking about the point of a fulcrum but if I was unclear I am sorry

[@k-sizzle83]

Mojo, check out School of the American Rifle channel on KZbin to learn all about gas efficiency and upper and lower tolerance

[@joshuabruce9920]

Wish they didnt have the troubles with clear that they had. Unfortunate. I mean i understand that it shows imperfections i just wanna do a badger/ sugar weasel clone. Dont get me wrong I've sourced it all but just slim pickins'

[@Print2shoot]

I was 23 minutes into this video than realized this is where I go shooting. This is in Sloan right? Probably the one decently safe spot in Sloan nowadays. I like to keep going on the dirt road and go down m into that area on the left side, but last time some idiots were standing where you were, but shooting towards that big hill, despite my car parked clearly behind it. Felt like I was in a damn war zone w/ bullets wizzing over my head. I try not to take the spot you are at because I’d rather yield it to a group of guys like yourselves.

[@josephsantana3094]

Another company that exists but seems to never have much of anything actually in stock and available to purchase. Would have liked an upper.

[@skeetlejuice522]

How about this for science in the battlefield in the heat and in the freezing cold I don't care how accurate your AR-15 is and how decked out it is if it stops working it's useless AKs don't stop working I seen a guy use a toothpick to replace a firing pin retainer

[@alanwright782]

Is this the guy from TRex Arms?

[@HiSp33D]

Sooo what will this do that my Daniel defense riii won’t?

[@etizzle915]

Isn't that a vltor freedom rail? At least give then a shout out instead of claiming y'all made it from the ground up.

[@samdesnoyers7927]

Can you do a video for budget friendly/ slow battle belt set up?

[@game7win596]

Why did Steve leave trex arms?

[@brianmadlock8385]

Dang it! I just built a criterion. I wish I would have seen this video.

[@Tyler-gd1ox]

How are these guys a business I have checked their site for 2 years never have anything available

[@apppul]

Is Steve worked at TREX ARMS at one point?

[@zac6540.]

Pretty sure he did and if I remember I think Lucas discussed it briefly stating Steve wanted to go off on his own didn’t know he was going to make a whole ass company making awesome rifles but it’s sick

[@rickypickles2219]

I need to buy one of these asap...not in stock much...anyone see that big ass animal run by at 9:29?
