Get ready for the "Hannibal" Rail in early 2022. Red Dot ready with 45 degree mounts and QD sling points available for all of your goodies. Multiple optics footprints will be added after initial release.

I love it when a plan comes together

KEENE, NH – The new Hannibal Rail from Samson Manufacturing completes your Ruger® Mini-14® or Mini Thirty® with a precision machined direct optic mount solution.
For the first time, Ruger® Mini-14® or Mini Thirty® owners can directly mount a micro red dot forward of the action, without the need for a Picatinny rail clamp adapter. The integrated Picatinny rail on the Hannibal Rail topside is perfect for mounting any accessory while providing a more tactical look. The included 2" Picatinny rail and QD swivel mount can be attached to the side of the Hannibal Rail for even more accessory mounting options.
The Hannibal Rail is compatible with Samson’s A-TM Folding Stocks and is currently footprinted for the Vortex Optics Venom. Additional optic footprint options are on the drawing board.
IMPORTANT: This version fits most Mini-14® or Mini-Thirty® rifles with a factory flanged barrel manufactured in 2008 or later and with serial numbers beginning with 580 and higher. It will NOT work with the older factory straight pencil barrel. Refer to Ruger’s serial number lookup on their website if you are unsure what year your rifle was manufactured.
Due to the low iron sights on this rifle platform, optimal co-witness with a micro red dot cannot be achieved (trust us, we tried).
