Ruger 10/22 (Picatinny)

The History of Sturm, Ruger & Co.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., more commonly known as Ruger, is an American firearm manufacturing company headquartered in Southport, Connecticut. Founded in 1949 by Alexander McCormick Sturm and William B. Ruger in a rented machine shop in Connecticut, the company has since become one of the largest firearm manufacturers in the world - shadowed only by Remington and perhaps Smith & Wesson.

Ruger is widely recognized for producing firearms that span a broad spectrum of uses such as bolt-action rifles and pistols, semi-automatic rifles, single-shot rifles, shotguns, and revolvers. As recognition of its quality products grew so did the public’s interest in investing in the company’s shares. Ruger went public in 1969 and grew exponentially since then, and it is on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:RGR) since 1990.

In 2020, Ruger made another big move with their acquisition of Marlin Firearms from Remington Outdoor Company.

For decades now both newbie and seasoned shooters have been consistently trusting Ruger’s guns for their excellent accuracy and superior long-term performance as evidenced by its continued success over all these years.

Today, Ruger’s most popular products include the Ruger 10/22 semiautomatic rifle, the .22 rimfire semi-automatic pistol Ruger MK IV, the bolt-action Ruger American rifle, the tried and tested Ruger No.1, and, of course, the timeless Ruger Security-Six revolvers.

Risers are used to co-witness a red dot sight with iron sights of the firearm. You can have the sights aligned with the red dot (full co-witness) or at the bottom part of the optic’s field of view, with the dot above the sights (lower 1/3 co-witness).

Our customers are often confused by the terms adapter, riser, and spacer. These are used for the same purpose but have different mounting characteristics. The manufacturers of mounts are not consistent when it comes to naming these types of mounts.

For example, some mount manufacturers use the term ‘riser’ to refer to a mounting part that is referred to as ‘spacer’ by other mount manufacturers. Furthermore, some companies use the terms ‘riser’ and ‘spacer’ to describe a mounting item that is referred to as an adapter by other companies.

To eliminate confusion, we have relied on our own explanation when categorizing adapters, risers, and spacers.

These are the conditions that must be fulfilled for us to categorize a mount as a riser:

  • The mounting standard on the bottom and the top is the same. For example, it attaches to a Picatinny rail and has a Picatinny mounting surface on top.

  • It is always fixed to the mounting item below it, either with tools or through a quick-detachable method.

Red dot sight risers are almost exclusively made from aluminium.

They are produced by:

  1. American Defense,

  2. UTG, and many others.
