odd request... does anyone have a source for extended 10/22 rail sections, that could cantilever over the front of the receiver... I think I want to try some off shore flip ups on the Charger and PMACA chassis... I wear bifocals, and looking through the upper distance lens puts the front sight out of focus with a typical cheek weld....would like a couple of inches more distance to the front sight

That looks great. I want to do the same chassis and brace.

What is the length of pull with that brace. Guessing just under 13.5".....can you verify that?

Thanks

I'll take a measurement tonight but it may be less than that. I feel tight on the gun but I'm 6' tall

glock-coma... thanks for the pic... my Charger is a take down, so hope that I can make it work also, I'll leave the fore end on permanently, the take down was a LGS special deal that I couldn't pass up... if I can make the irons work, it will free up a scope for other projects...regards

Could you explain this?
Looks like a back-end chassis with an extended stock bolt to hold the fore-grip??

Looking to do something simular

just installed the UTG Scout Rail recommended by Glock-coma, and added a set of off shore flip ups... distance was enough to give me a sharp definition on the front sight post ... this will be the new look of the Charger... may add a pressure point to the nose of the rail as there is some vertical movement

the UTG extended Scout rail has a little flex, and if it bothers you, bridging the two rail sections with an AR carry handle sight greatly strengthens it... opening the small aperture improves the sight picture to get a good zero... I then use the open aperture to play with

Any luck on the LOP measurement?

I know most of you are into the look of the Charger, but if you need a longer length of pull...and can give up some bling

I milled the end nub off a buffer tube for the full A1/A2 stock...I typically use the 8 1/2" KAK SB brace tube for my AR pistols , and the rifle tube is slightly longer... the rifle tube gave me a good cheek weld... as with the KAK tubes, I don't use a blade or brace, and just shoulder the bare tube

I believe it is one of the new models with the 8 inch barrels and the stock pic rail brace adapter

Correct, it's the new 8" with railed adapter straight from Ruger. Love this little thing, trying to determine what optic to run (lvpo vs red dot)

I have a Holosun red dot on my Charger. I couldn't imagine it being more fun. I tried a 1-4x it wasnt really my thing

Gotcha. I didn't see just that railed adapter on Ruger's website under charger accessories so I emailed them to see if I can buy it separately from them.

Handled a Charger lite takedown today, staring at it I thought I made a mistake by buying a standard charger and putting it in a PMACA chassis too soon, after handling it, meh, it’s still just a 10/22.

I’ll probably buy a lite...

Nice, @tangelo1106. What brace is that, please?
I just ordered a Charger Takedown Lite, with that vertical Picatinny Rail Brace Mount, straight from Ruger. Should be at my Fun Shop Tuesday.

It’s the FS1913 from SB Tactical. Kinda pricey, but super nice.

You can find that brace for about $135 shipped. Got mine a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks bud for the 411 snagged one of those suckers for a decent price...now waiting on Midwest Industries new chassis.

I’m finally about ready to build mine. I ordered a charger receiver

I have a PMACA suppressor chassis in blue on order

I ordered a brace this morning from PSA.

I hope to have it all built by next weekend.

My brace from SB Tactical came in a day earlier than expected.
I opted for the aluminum strut FS1913A versus the polymer strut FS1913 version.
Very solid lockup. Exceeded my expectations.

I'm... inspired. Well done, sir.

Been kicking around a PMACA build with a 4.5" barrel. These pics just put the whole thing in motion. Looking forward to specifics on your builds.
