It is a shame Rivera is on the ropes right now, have their parts in some major power absorbing areas.
The Barnett clutch is a piece of art and too nice to cover up but found a Variable Pro Clutch closed out, think I know why now with Rivera in limbo. Let us know how the new ring gear works out, make sure you have some good cables on the starting system also.

How would the comp have anything to do with the starter gears not meshing?

So yours is not meshing at all? just one hit and free spin? getting any kickbacks?
What it's probably doing is meshing and getting kicked out real fast, then the starter continuing to turn, you get the grind, now if that's the case,
a weak spring can let the comp sliding cam travel too far, and even reach it's limit before the crank starts to turn, and also bounce after every compression stroke, unloading the starter pinion, causing it to kick out.
Just something else to investigate if you run out of parts to replace.

Also this is my second new starter, both do the same thing. Just installed a new HD starter.

The bushing in the primary cover supports the pinion, the pinion has some wiggle room, check the fit in primary cover just to be sure nothing binds, over tightening the center bolt seems to jam stuff up too, just snug it, drop of red locktite and with the lock tab, it wont come loose.
