Rainier Arms describes their RUC Rifle DI as the “…next step in our efforts to bring the highest quality rifles to the market…while offering the best value as well.”
The RUC is a complete AR 15 built around the recently improved Rainier Arms Select barrel. It uses the Rainier Urban Combat Rail (UCR) for accessories and utilizes numerous other superb components.
Take a look at this setup.
Rainier Arms Urban Combat Rail (UCR)
The RUC DI Rifle utilizes the RA Urban Combat Rail to provide shooters with a rock-solid handguard that can take any abuse thrown at it.
The UCR MLOK slots are positioned at the 3, 6 & 9 o’clock positions for adding user-defined rail sections. There are also anti-rotation QD sockets at the 3 o’clock & 9 o’clock positions. Other features include:
- CNC machined 6000 Aluminum
- Hard Coat Anodized Milspec Type III/Class 2
- 7075 Aluminum Barrel Nut
- Patent Pending 17-4PH Cored Stainless Steel Rail Mounting Hardware
- Anti-rotation tabs to easily align the rail to upper receiver
- *No Barrel nut shims are required for installation if you decide to switch things out
- 1.315″ Interior Diameter
