22/45 Accessory Rail (.875")

[Semper Noctem]

Need some help here fellas. Years ago, I bought the 22/45 threaded without accessory rails because I wanted iron sights.

I've added a rail for an optic, but what I cant find is the lower rail for an accessory like a light or laser.

Ruger doesn't sell this part separately, and I cant find an aftermarket rail with a .875" diameter to match the barrel. All I can find are 1" diameter rails.

Can anyone help me track one down? Say from your parts bin or off your pistol if you aren't using it?

You can see the under barrel rail I'm looking for attached. Thanks for your help!

Hey, get it line! Lol

I'm happy to get in line, but based on the lack of other responses we might get a little lonely here.

Call EGW (Evolution Gun Works) and see if they'll make one for you. They have been very reasonable in the past with their price to make odd Picatinny rails and this one is a piece of cake.

If more than one of you asks them, or if you guys pool your order, you can probably knock off a lot of the setup charges by having them do several at once, which cuts their production costs.

I think you're right.

E, thank you very much for the recommendation! I've used their bases before and i know they are good quality, but I didn't think to reach out about a custom base. I will check with EGW tomorrow.

Still looking for a takeoff if anyone has one. I'm willing to make it more than worth your while to ditch it if you aren't using yours.

Ruger does not have them for sale?

 

[Semper Noctem]

They don't sell this part separately, unfortunately.

BTT. Still looking fellas, and would love some help!

If you REALLY just want a rail, you could get one of the 1" radius ones and bed it with JB Weld.

Wax the barrel really well (or use neutral Kiwi shoe polish). Sand then back of the rail. Mix JB Weld, apply, screw rail on, wipe off excess. let cure.

This one or the top rail? I had to dig out the box, but I have both.

Someone on an old Rimfire central forum post said these guys used to sell one but it was like $60:

I couldn't find it myself but maybe you can give them a call.
