The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

[BLJ]

Yep Grice Guns did a limited run of .358 rifles a few times.

I’m aware.

So……you still have the barrel???

Broke a trigger guard on mine.

I'd grab a m77 over an american too

Same here. Broken trigger guard. The aftermarket aluminum replacements are much better

What aftermarket one did you use?
Did you adapt it to the factory stock?

 

[JRay]

I’ve got a factory RA 6.5CM and a 223 predator in factory form that shoot lights out with box ammo. My wife’s 308 is extremely partial to SMK 165. I’ve even grown fond of the zipper sounding action!

Now that I’m thinking about it, that rifle went into a Boyd’s stock. I believe I used the the guard they sell or one from DIP.

The RA bolt zip is music to my ears

I never fixed mine. Was all the reason I needed to retire that turd of a rifle

Which rifle was it?

 

[BLJ]

Retired the stock and not the rifle.
I misunderstood.

 

[BLJ]

I can’t believe you would shun such a fine piece of mechanical craftsmanship.

Still’s, Tacoma’s and RAR’s are peas and carrots.

I'll be interested to see how the flat faced Timney trigger feels in this. Installation looks pretty easy, and tracking has it arriving tomorrow

I can tolerate a trigger dongle thingy on a striker fired pistol, but no freaking way it's staying on a rifle with a 3-position safety.

Flush fit 5.56/223 Duramags back in stock.

Glad to hear its working. Has anyone broken or worn out a Ruger American with high round counts? I always assumed my old Ruger M77II would be stronger so I typically grab it when I'm after bear or on a special hunt. But... I really like my Ruger American.

I am over 5k on my ranch and it still shoots as tight as I want it.

Shot 6 rounds out of Pumpkin Spice this morning.
I’d say the 22ARC/75ELDM will do okay.

[BLJ]

She’s a unit for sure.

 

[goalie]

Um, the flat Timney trigger arrived. 2#. It's a huge upgrade. Off to get 100 yard zero and shoot some 10 round groups.

 

[BLJ]

How is it with no bump on the bottom for reference?

 

[huntsman22]

the trigger guard IS the bump.....

 

[BLJ]

the trigger guard IS the bump.....

Never gave that a thought. I can see where you’re coming from though.

 

[goalie]

To say the Timney doesn't suck is an epic understatement
