So, I was sitting around the house with nothing to do today. Bored out of my tree. So I start rummaging through my boxes of crap and find a cheap old Ruko 3-9x40 scope. Hmmmm. What can I mount this on? So I rummage around some more and find my spare BRS-99 top cover. Then I found a AR-15 picatinney rail that is designed to mount on the lower handguard. So I am looking at the scope, the rail and the dust cover and then I find my spare 10.5" extended BRS-99 barrel. Now we got something here. I fire up the drill press, clamp the rail to the top cover, drill some holes. Fire up the dremel and deburr the holes. Looking good so far. Grab my rivet gun and a couple of rivets and slam them home. Rail is nice and solid, no wiggle and there to stay. Fire up the dremel and trim the heads inside the cover to clear the bolt. Slap it together and rack the bolt twice. Trim a little more off the rivet heads and it is good to go. I mount the scope and try it out. The eye relief is perfect. Now all I have to do is hit the rifle range and see what I can do at 100 meters with it. Total time including rummaging was 40 minutes. Total cost was 45 dollars or so...
