No, they mount differently.

From my understanding they will.

Any "free float" rail with barrel nut will mount onto the Nordic Chassis. The problem you will run into is finding a top rail that will match the scope rail of the Upper Nordic Chassis that Ruger uses for the unit. You could even mount a Delta Ring assembly and a handguard, but again you run into the height issue for the scope rail.

I would recommend the Dlask Short Handguard as mentioned above. I have used that set up on two SR22's and am very pleased with the fit and finish of the products from Dlask.
 
jt_trouble is there a big weight difference ? im also thinking of that set-up... I have the dlask rails right now and find the 10/22 front heavy

Very little ... your talking a couple ounces maybe. I didn't even notice much before or after installation once I got all the rails and other tacticool goodies attached.

EDIT: I have the Dlask Short HG with all Rails installed, a .920 16.5 with Birdcage and a rail mounted front site ... the balance is good IMHO.
 
My first setup had a Magpul UBR with the short HG and 12.5" .920 ... worked well for the way I carried and shouldered my rifle. Balance was slightly to the rear. Current set up is with a 16.5 and the overall balance is good.
 
I think you will be fine ... you'll have to try it and find out. I went through many setups on my first build before I settled on what I wanted. Many pesos thrown into a project I could have built two :D

My second build, I think I know what I want and it started with a Dlask Short HG set up right off the bat ... lol
 
ruger sent me a letter stating "We would not have information regarding the aftermarket products. Thank you for your inquiry."

i dont know what to do, i dont really want to fork out $150- $200 on a hand guard and it not fit.
