I ran acrossed a template that had the dimensions & specs to drill & tap the reciever for a scope mount. I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find the same information except for the accessory rail that goes underneath the barrel. I'm thinking of ordering a rail to put a laser sight on. Would Ruger send me a copy of that template if I got the rail from them? Of course I wouldn't use it as a "template" per say, more of a "guide" so I get the holes milled the right depth. Don't want to end up with a reverse compensator if you know what I mean. I've looked for a small weaver style mount that would clamp to the barrel like they have for shotguns but have not had any luck finding one so i guess its drill & tap time. Thanks. Biggjimm.

It can't hurt to ask them. I have a diagram for drilling and tapping the receiver around here somewhere from them but not the barrel for an accessory rail.

If they'll send you a template, I'll put it up on the server.
