    Rail for a Ruger American??

    Folks,

    Does anyone make a rail for the Ruger American?

    If yes, any available locally?

    I know nothing about them but a mate has bought one to turn into a bushpig/bail gun. Unfortunately he wants to run a red dot scope and is running into issues mounting it in the standard rings.

    School a guy that has never even picked one up.

    I don't believe you have a friend with a Ruger!
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Apparently they won't work with the red dot he wants to use. I presume because of limited space on the tube? I've never held or even seen one so I have no idea.

    I told him he was fucking retard for buying it in the first place.

    Agreed.

    Yeah, he said he asked you but you said something along the lines of 'Rugers are lame and you are lucky we are suppressing it for you'

    .....or something like that......
