The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

[Scottyboy]

I’m already in a nice little Ranch in 5.56, but dang if that new Gen 2 Ranch Patrol isn’t appealing. I particularly like the heavier barrel with no flutes, and no muzzle brake. And black cerakote on a black stock looks good. I’d likely mount an Arken LH-4.

I had not seen this particular model before and I don’t even have the Timney in my G2 22cm yet, but I guess I have to order one of these now…looks nice! Thanks for posting

Did you have to apply heat to remove the brake?

The brake has wrench flats. I've taken 3 of them off with a cresent wrench only. They are only on there with 30 to 40 foot pounds. Just enough you can't break it free with your bare hands.

Cool , does removing the brake affect POI?

No idea. Took the brake off to shoot suppressed. Bought some cheap thread protectors from Amazon and just use that for when the suppressors are in storage or on other guns.

That would have been good to know. The heat gun only took a few minutes though, and I didn't want to mess something up.

The poor man's precision rifle doesn't suck.

The only issue after one range session is that the bolt doesn't want to close on an empty Pmag. Zero issues with aluminum GI mags or Lancers, and I have a bunch of 10 round Lancers.

I had that issue with an ar mag once. I was told that the magazine just needed some break in. It must have been true because after shooting 40-60 shots through it, it never did it again.

P Mag is the only one I’ve had issues with.

My 5.56 Ranch seems to get along well with the AAC 77g OTM. One shot, dialed correction, then this 9.

It's nice when everything is working as it should.

 

[BLJ]

Try some ADI 69 Matchkings some time. Really good for practice stuff.

Same.

I greatly prefer Lancer and DuraMag in mine

I used Lancers today, and will try and snag a few of the "flush fit" Duramags if they become available.

Sorry if this isn't news but I personally hadn't seen it yet. I know Glenfield was the store brand name for Marlin, I guess Ruger is starting that back up?

I saw that. Maybe a couple weeks ago.

A budget line for the budget line. Ruger gets me.

When they say “the poors” they mean me.

It sounds great with my Polonium on it, and I'm re-thinking replacing the stock. OEM appears more than adequate for intended use.

Huntsman is a bad influence though, and it will get a Jard trigger. I'm going to wait until I can try the Duramag flush fit magazines before thinking about converting to AICS.

Looks good, how does it balance out with the suppressor?

It was a little front-heavy, but easy to shoot offhand even with the bipod. Not nearly a big enough issue to buy the stock weight kit.
