New Product Alert: Ruger PC Carbine barrels

[Can-down]

Shaun, any way you guys can work a bridged optic mount in to your new handguard? Hopefully some of this BS doesn't go through but I'm assuming you guys are thinking also of the US market with this new product.

Good call, never seen that before. UTG has come along way in the last few years with some of their USA production.

I wonder if that would fit with the longer barrel.... looks short enough.

That does look pretty cool, BUT, our barrels are a fair bit thicker than the factory ruger barrel. I'm not so sure that will fit now that I'm looking closer.

I was more thinking design one to mount on your new hand guard.... Though I still think the easiest thing would be to profile a picatinny rail to match your barrel contour then thread the barrel and bolt it on. Most people have red dot's with picatinny clamps and it would avoid all the different footprints for micro red dots.

That was actually an 8" prototype. The seven is slightly shorter. It is meant to go with the Midwest Industries hand guards we have on order, but... once C21's amendment was announced, we decided not to wait for them to arrive.

I based my purchase of this pick because I like how it sticks out a bit passed the handguard. My order was for a 7 inch can I change to a 8 or what would a 7 inch look like with the Magpul backpacker fore end?

I imagine there are a lot more guys running the backpacker than the MidWest shorty, why not do an 8" instead of seven? I am sure an extra inch on the midwest would still look good.
Or maybe you want to offer three lengths?

We want a NR barrel too please.

Like lighter weight NR barrel. That'd be handy.

But if you just mean an 18'5" barrel for those who bought 16" (R) rifles I am not sure there is much market for that.
Not to say ATRS wouldn't do custom on request.

How much thicker we talkin?
I am interested in dropping weight out front, shorter is gonna help with that but if your 10.5" weighs 80% what the original 18'5"er is that's not a huge drop.

I have an NR. I simply want a barrel that will shoot and stay NR.
