For sure. I'm not very knowledgeable with machine work but it seems like it's definitely a good time to learn. If you can't work on a gun that will inevitably break, you will have to buy a new one, right? Let alone find picatinny rails that fit it... I can remember when my grandfather recieved...
Thank you dude. You saved me a lot of headache with that information. Apparently Ruger began production of the SR's using Troy Industries for a lot of their parts and mine is from 2013 which is before they switched over to Nordic. I just measured mine again and they are for sure 1.97 spacing. So...
Do you happen to know the length and spacing on the holes on that Nordic rail? If it's 9" or 10" and holes spaced at 1.97" I'd order them right now, problem solved.
Again, I appreciate you guys. I just got off the phone with Ruger. I was told I'm out of luck as far as getting the rails or handguards through them. The lady was nice as could be and lowered her voice to tell me "we aren't supposed to encourage aftermarket products but that, or finding a...
I didn't know this was going to be such an ordeal. I emailed them a week ago and just recieved a response today saying to call them for more information. So that's happening asap. I suppose I'll also inquire about the possibility of swapping out the handgaurd entirely to a more modern Mlok...
If that is in fact the case I would love a few suggestions as far as websites that I might find them. I'm sure you're correct in the 1.97 spacing and again the bottom would be rounded much like a rail for a 10/22. I'm not at all concerned with the manufacturer so long as they fit. Thus far I've...
For 2009 this was probably a great idea to reduce size and weight, but the Ruger SR-556E model came with only a single top rail. The bottom and side of the handguard are drilled and tapped to install them later but now it's discontinued and finding even something as simple as picatinny rails...
