The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

[Sixpack]

I saw that too! I grabbed two 6.5grendel/6arc mags to try in my 7.62x39. I will report back on how it works!

Cold hammer forged bull barrel.

This may be the death of the CTR.

And they sure are pretty;

If anyone has a pmag stock for a predator or ranch I would pick up. Like to get out of my rotary mag without going to a chassis

You don't need a pmag stock. Get a 450 Bushmaster mag and it will work with 308 based cartridges and fit in the rotary mag stock.

Looking for 5.56/223

You can buy the bottom plastic direct from Ruger.

I believe that in order for ar15 magazines to work on the Ruger American, it also needs to have a cutout scalloped spot machined off of the bolt. The first 223/5.56 Ruger American models didn’t have it.

Do you have a link for the video? Thanks.

I can’t find the video anywhere! But I did find a Ruger Forum thread regarding the subject:

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

Only on the ones that are newer. Older models didn’t come with the cut out around the action screws

Thanks! Ordered a couple flush fit for ARC

 

[huntsman22]

another Woox Wildman.....

Added some JB weld to strengthen the forend of the factory stock. Still flexes, but much better and you really have to make an effort to have it contact the barrel.

Also added the Ruger weight kit to the rear. 4/6 weight to add 1 lb. Balances nice, and my 9 yo shoots it well.

Top it off with the flush fit mag and the SRS mini Arca, and now I might be stealing it from my son!

I couldn't find any aftermarket stocks with a LOP that is as short as the factory

I'm now officially torn between a Ranch g2 in 5.56 or 22 ARC.

I have so much brass and so many 75g/77g bullets that 5.56 may win out

Any issues with the Jard trigger in the OEM stock?

 

[huntsman22]

no

Nice to know that there is no way for a bad outcome.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm 90% leaning towards the 5.56 right now, but will probably end up with an ARC eventually anyhow.....

Comparing a new caliber, needing dies, needing brass to the piles of 5.56 brass and 77g/75g bullets already on hand seems like a no brainer.

Factory 75’s and 88’s are cheap for the ARC.
Not 223 cheap, but cheap.

No need to reload if you didn’t want to.

I reload for 5.56/223 already. I've got thousands of cleaned, primed Lake City brass and thousands of 75s and 77s to load.
