THE EDGE RIFLES
RND "The Edge" rifles come in three platforms: the 400, which is .223 length; the 800, which is .308 family; and the 2000 which is (gasp) .338 size. Small, medium, large. Looks like the big one will also work with the new 300 Ultra.
There are several options and package parts on The Edge series complete rifles, and they can include a choice of two RND adjustable stocks, a fancy-schmancy laminated stock (very pretty), RND's unique integral buffer system that eliminates the stock extension tube, and carbon fiber barrels.
Lloyd also makes his own bolt carriers for the same reason he does the receivers and other parts: his are better than anyones, and, of course, it's a little tough to find a .338 bolt carrier at a gun show. The gas tubes are another RND product. They're considerably thicker walled (harmonic/stiffness effect) than standard and fit into a steel, not aluminum, gas block: reasons for that are less heat induced expansion, which means less gas leakage.
Other parts are done in house as well, like the forend tube. Actually, it's easier to name what's not made in Longmont -- triggers and magazines.
Color choices abound, and range from Teflon to anodized colors to tricky "fusion" schemes.
It's all extremely good stuff. The design of this stock was geared toward the tactical user, and given that it's very good. It's stronger than a competition style tube stock since it has two posts on the buttplate and mounts to the receiver, well, like an extension of the receiver. The integral buffer allows the cheekpiece to mount lower, again a good thing for scope sight users.
