Amega Ranges FAQ

Provides an easy way to add additional Picatinny/Weaver equipment mounting rails to the Amega Mini-Scout mount.

What does it fit? ONLY the Ruger® Mini-14™ or Mini-14 Ranch Rifle™- This bolt-on unit fits either version of the .223 cal. Rifle.

Will it fit a Ruger® Mini-30™? No. Although this model may be offered in the future.

Will it fit an M1 carbine? Or an M14? No.

INSTALLATION

How is it attached? The bolt-on design replaces the hand guard and upper gas block. No drilling, cutting, machining or other modification to the rifle is required. Just field strip your Mini-14™ and follow the simple installation instructions. Two hex wrenches are provided for assembly.

Will I need a gunsmith to install it? No. This product is intended to be owner- installed, but you can have your gunsmith do it if you wish.

Do I have to modify the rifle to install it? No. And you can easily return the rifle to its original configuration by reinstalling the OEM upper gas block and handguard.

How long will it take me to install it? It shouldn’t take more than five minutes.

What tools do I need to install it? The two hex wrenches provided.

How can I mount a flashlight on it? With the addition of the Tactical Light Mount Kit.

Will it get hot if I shoot it a lot? No more so than with the OEM handguard and upper gas block. They will always heat up with a high volume of fire.

SIGHTS

Will I still be able to use the open sights? Yes, the ample sighting groove on the top of the mount allows a clear field of view for use of open sights when scopes or other sighting devices are not attached.

What kind of sights can I mount on it? It accepts all modern tactical sight systems (ACOG, CQB, Holosights, Red-dot, etc.), Pistol or Scout scopes. More sighting options than ever before.

Will it interfere with the scope I already have mounted? No. If you are using Ruger® rings, or an after-market mount that positions your scope over the receiver in the traditional position, the MSM can still be installed and will not interfere.

FLASHLIGHTS

How does the Light Rail attach? It is attached to the mount body with two screws and the wrench provided. The Rail can be positioned at different screw holes to allow use of larger flashlights.

What if I am left-handed? It is easily installed on either side of the mount body for right or left-handed shooters.

Can I mount Light Rails on both sides of the MSM? Yes.

How does a light attach to the Light Rail? This accessory allows the officer to slide on any quick-detachable tactical flashlight (such as the Streamlight® AALM3, M6, etc.) that utilize Picatinny or Glock® rails. It will also accept any flashlight mounted in a Weaver-style scope ring.
