This is the RUC Rifle DI from Rainier Arms. As you might have deduced from the name, the RUC DI is a direct impingement complete AR15. They describe it as the “…next step in our efforts to bring the highest quality rifles to the market…while offering the best value as well.”
The barrel is the heart of any good rifle, so RA chose their newly evolved and improved Select Barrel as the foundation for the RUC DI. It also utilizes the Rainier Urban Combat Rail (UCR) and boasts numerous other excellent features.
Which we shall explain if you will be so kind as to continue reading!
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
