Ruger Mini-14 Picatinny rail mount

The forward position of the rail allows the scope to sit as low as possible over the barrel. Target acquisition is fast and familiar.

Allows easy access to the gas pipe
and cylinder for cleaning.

The rail only rests on the barrel at the gas block.

The barrel free floats under the rail.

The rail is CNC machined from 2024 aluminum
bar stock and is hardcoat anodized.

With the Burris SpeedDot 135, the front blade shows through the optics. The iron sites are usable with the optics in place.
