Product Description The Samson Hannibal Rail is a precision handguard replacement designed for Ruger Mini-14 (2007 and earlier) and AC-556 platforms. It replaces the factory plastic handguard and mounts directly to the barrel, creating a rigid, forward optic location that lets you mount a micro red dot without the need for a Picatinny rail clamp adapter. An integrated top Picatinny rail provides additional mounting space for lights and other accessories, while the included 2" Picatinny rail section and QD swivel mount can be installed on the side for even more flexibility. Product Highlights Direct micro red dot mounting forward of the action-no clamp-on adapter required Integrated top Picatinny rail for accessories and a modernized, tactical setup Replaces the factory plastic handguard and mounts directly to the barrel for a solid interface Includes a 2" side Picatinny rail section and QD sling swivel mount for expanded accessory mounting Machined from durable 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type III, Class 2 anodized finish Specs Brand: Samson Manufacturing Corp.
