Has anyone had issues with their lw r4 barrels?  Do they have good M4 feed ramps cut into them?  I am in need of a barrel assembly to finish my first build.  I appreciate the input.  I have looked over their site for more info/details.

We do not use M4 barrel extensions on any barrels, nor do we use M4 cut upper receivers.
We do, however, us erifle extensions and extended feed ramps for improved feeding of all sorts of ammo.
BTW...no known issues with the light weight R4s, or any other barrels at this time.

I switched from Rock River because they do not have feed ramps.  I know the arguement for and against, but I did have a problem with a couple of magazines feeding once.  I figure better to be safe and have them.  It looks like Rock River makes a couple of small notches in that area, but they are not true feed ramps.

Question for Rock River.  I cannot imagine the cost is that much greater to just standardize all your cabines and go with M4 barrel extensions and uppers.  What is the reasoning against it?

I know alot of people that will not buy a Rock River simply for this reason.

With that though, the rest of the rifles are good quality
