I really want a Gen 1 in 5.56. Does anyone know the part number? I want to make sure I'm getting a Gen 1 gun if I order one.

TIA View Quote Gen 1 vs Gen 2 in regard to the fluted barrel or not? If so, they are still different rifles still at this point. Now if you are talking versions within the two different generations of rifle good luck. https://ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanch/models.html https://ruger.com/products/americanRifleRanchGenII/models.html Ask for the regular version not the "Gen 2." There is a price difference in the two as well. |

The standard riser was too high for my scope and I couldn't find a medium riser in stock anywhere at the time. OEM kept the point of balance two fingers in front of the mag well. Now I have to decide to sell the magpul or build off an action.... View Quote Also, the Hunter comes with a 1/4 inch riser. To get the flat cheek piece, you would need to order from Magpul's website.

In the local auction results I note a .308 gen 1 for $400 (plus auction fees). I'm pretty sure it was unfired. There were some other better deals though, wish I had gone.

Dumb question.
Is anyone else having their bolt stop pin work itself loose? I was dry firing my rifle and to my surprise I was able to pull the bolt out by rotating it counter clockwise. On close inspection the pin came loose. I pushed it back in but it loves to work its way out. The stock/Chassis stops it from falling out completely. I wonder if I just need a longer pin? |
