Hop head  |

Googled it, think it's the Delta Ring/base of handguards. Photo in the OP link shows a knurled ring. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Wow, such a great deal. I would feel completely confident in that rifle. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

thats good. I called a friend that has been wanting to buy an AR and told him about this one. seems like a better fit that buying a PSA | |||

Why the odd front sight base? | |||

My guess: "because we're Ruger." It would be interesting to see what the bbl diameter under the gas block is. It's pretty clear that they did not intend for anyone to replace the gas block. By drilling the taper (?) pin holes through the top of the bbl, there is no way for someone to install a standard A2 front sight base without drilling new holes in the bbl (hardly worth the effort). | |||

Yep...it's a Ruger...The front sight is an F height and is a nice example of machining. It seems like an expensive process for an AR sight on a basic rifle and the QD sling point is a nice touch. Just about everything carries the Ruger eagle logo (just in case you forget it's a Ruger  )...Sorry about the giant photos...I'm trying other hosts since TinyPics no longer plays well with others...I'll try to resize it...  The threaded delta ring does make removing the handguard easier (as if that's something you have to do often)...again, it's Ruger   ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

| That rug really tied the room together.  |
Because they have the capacity to make things "their" way. They dont have the capacity to make a forged front sight base, and they can save money by making it themselves, so they will just make a CNC machined front sight base. My understanding of Ruger is that they like to make as much as possible in house to control cost. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||
