Sharps Bros. Heatseeker chassis for the Ruger American Short Action (assembly / how-to build video)

JSharps walks through the assembly process for the Sharps Bros. Heatseeker chassis for the Ruger American Short Action. More details on the chassis available at sharpsbros.com

[@alterexistence483]

Thanks John for the amazing parts and guns you build. I’m patiently awaiting for my shot at the 15 lower and I saw your heat seeker build in ballistic mag. Needless to say I jumped on my phone and ordered my own heat seeker parts right away before they are bought up!! Now it’s time to go pick up the Ruger American that I don’t currently have 😂, your parts are works of art and worth wait. Everyone reading this go support an American small business that produces bad A parts and spread the word!! Much appreciated Sharp Bros

[@donwitherstine3334]

John, just ordered my Heatseeker. Cannot wait to build this Ruger!

[@bryanwalthall5483]

Thank you for this video! I used it to put together the chassis on my Ruger American 6.5. This thing is beautiful! You guys are awesome! Can't wait to take it to the range.

[@grizzly_gunner7039]

That was such a clean and easy build, night and day difference 👍🏼

[@NoSkunkNation]

Dude you guys are awesome, just installed it to my ruger american predator and i freakin love it. Simple and changes the whole gun, keep it up guys

[@ryanmatrix11]

Just picked one of these up saving for a PRS gen 3 stock and can't wait to get this gun built

[@milehighbeerguy4586]

I just picked up.. can't wait to put together

[@mr.tall-man1573]

The hogue rubber grip with beaver tail doesn't fit on this, just FYI to those purchasing. Great fit and great chassis! Can't wait to shoot it.

[@niklaskoch4931]

Doesn‘t fit on the regular precision rimfire aswell, you gotta cut the beaver tail haha.

[@Weirdperson97]

Great products from John Sharps.

[@wickedtimestacticaloutdoor8296]

Digging mine for sure!

[@ianprice2441]

Very cool product. 👍

[@eltenda]

Very nice!

[@wetasuka]

Really want this for my Howa .308!

[@OffensiveGroup]

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Very Nice! I have two R-A that I would like to re stock, one 556 and one 7mm-08.

[@jthompson9641]

Thank you

[@user-up1nl2zj9y]

Very nice!👍

[@craigbockbrader1872]

Awesome!!

[@Grissom_Outdoors]

Will this fit the ruger American ranch 5.56 with ar mags or will I have to convert it please reply

[@DimaProk]

Will it work with Ruger American Ranch? I got an older one with rotary magazine in 300 blackout that I want to upgrade to this chassis.

[@rudolphferdinand3634]

Heatseeker has the stock I have been looking for the Ruger American Predator rifle in 223 Remington.

[@SlavGuns]

Looks good. Saw it for the Howa before, did not realize you have it for the Ruger Americans. Any plans for long action Remage, Ruger or Howa?

[@Spruce-Bug]

Trying to get one of these in Canada.

[@SledSaint]

How heavy of a barrel profile will fit in the handguard? Will a MTU/Proof Sendero fit?

[@Tacticalyakker]

i have been looking for a chassis system for my 6.5 Ruger American I came across this set up but there is only one video showing this chassis shooting and its not the guy that owens the gun, there are hundrends of MDT chassis on here showing people shooting, I was hoping to find a few vidoes show if the chassis help with accuracey but there are none.

[@chekkerachou]

Why must if be only on Ranier Arms website and of course out of stock?! Are they getting new supply any time soon?

[@ianpyang]

I have a Ruger American 30-06, does this chassis work for it!? Please! I want one sooo bad!

[@john-y128]

If the H/S chassis used only ACIS mags, that leaves out Ruger American's Ranch chambered in .300 Blackout, will Ruger's standard 20rd box mags work?

[@MrJboy308]

Well this work for Ruger American compact with a 18in barrel?

[@jeffreyrego7485]

Do you use the stock mags that come with ruger ??? getting a RUGER AMERICAN® RIFLE PREDATOR .223 ?? same mags???

[@Labyrnthdom]

So, does this chassis take the AR10 magazines? I'm having trouble understanding which mags to get. I have looked at multiple chassis for this rifle, and none come with a magazine. It would be nice to get a complete package.

[@Defectoriam]

I really am looking for a long action left handed chassis

[@307_garrett5]

What caliber is this rifle? Would it work for the 22-250 predator?

[@Justin-oe9fs]

What is the gun on the bottom left corner with the wood handguard it looks sick and I'd love to build one just like it

[@deebru8354]

Will this Heatseeker chassis work on a .243 Ruger American rifle?

[@chuppoacobra]

It's a Beaut!

[@NA-rr7jl]

Any differemce between the ruger and savage on this chassi?

[@johnjj4237]

Would a Ruger scout .308 rifle work?

[@launius59]

Will this fit a gen 2 .223?

[@Datdudetc22]

Just purchased mine

[@robpatterson3652]

How much weight did it add?

[@Rooftopking]

What optic and rings are you running ?

[@Bankfishingbassmaster]

Does this work woth ruger american 6.5 grendel

[@mdkrush]

Would this fit my 300 Blackout American?

[@Ryanbuell15]

What AR stock is that you are using I can't find it just by the looks. Please reply thanks I have completely replicated that except the stock thats all I'm missing?

[@JSharps]

Mission First Tactical. It is called the Minimalist

[@drone4higher]

Nice

[@holdleftedgeandsendit9351]

John can the law tactical folder be used with the heat seeker chassis?

[@hse785]

John, Does the Law tactical folder work with this Heatseaker Chassis?

[@jeremyfrix522]

We need this for the Ruger American Ranch series rifles and a little bit cheaper price point

[@Grissom_Outdoors]

Make sure it fits at mags too

[@kevinf9819]

Would love to get one for my standard Ruger American .308 but mine has rotary mag will this chassis work on mine or no?

[@JSharps]

yes it will fit fine (but convert it to take standard AI pattern magazines)

[@bryanwalthall5483]

Magpul makes 10 round mags for this build. Just put mine together. Literally took ten minutes. It took me more time to install an M-Lok bipod than it did to put the chassis and handguard on. Make sure to get a buffer tube, or that the butt stock you do get has one.

[@joshwoodward446]

Please make It for a long action ruger American!!

[@finck2208]

Will this work on the 6.5 grendel? Not sure on the mag situation

[@JSharps]

no this one is for the Ruger American short action - 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Grendel is mini action sized. We make a Heatseeker for Howa Mini Action as well that covers calibers 223, 30blk, 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel (which is one of my favorite calibers).

[@JSharps]

Revising my comment here as I learned yesterday about a AICS mag conversion for 6.5 Grendel. Conversion kit from a company called Primal Rights. It looks solid. Because Ruger's exterior action dimensions are the same on the 6.5G (as the 308/6.5 CM) this may mean Heaseeker works fine for it, as long as you are using an AI mag converted to feed Grendel. I will try it myself if I can find a Ruger 6.5G. Will report back.

[@finck2208]

@@JSharps very cool thanks. As you can assume I’m a huge fan of the grendel

[@jaytillitt7107]

Really nice chassis.

[@lancelamoon6743]

Be nice to have for my Browning X Bolt

[@rickwoodruff8211]

$500.00 and it still needs a grip and a stock? What's the advantage of the build? Not trying to be rude, but before I make the investment I'd like to know the plusses. I've got a RAR 556, 450 Bushmaster, and 7.62x39. Thanks.

[@TeamLickMySack]

Bro, do you take feedback or do you hide behind a camera?

[@christianlenington3298]

what is the length of the barrel on that rifle?

[@anthonyhinton1039]

18"

[@dawsonbarber3768]

Barrel length on this particular gun?

[@anthonyhinton1039]

18"

[@georgejoseph4164]

Now in Ruger American Predator .223 please...

[@JSharps]

Fits the 223 Predator just fine... but converts it to taking short action AI pattern magazines. MDT sells that type of magazine. So does Accurate and MagPul has been promising one to release this summer (2021)

[@buckets_of_lead]

I just got a sharps upper and handgaurd and it fits like a glove to my silencerco sco15 lower. Like it was a match set. Only issue is the handgaurd and upper and lower all all 3 different blacks. At least match the upper and handgaurd colors.

[@JSharps]

all of our upper & lowers are made from 7075-T6 aluminum. They should anodize the same. Both are anodized at the same facility. Most handguards, including ours, are made of 6061 though (to keep consumer prices low) which anodizes with a slightly different sheen of black.

[@buckets_of_lead]

@@JSharps thanks for the reply. The quality is phenomenal so the color issue is minor. I'll most likely cerakote the whole thing anyway.

[@andrewhill1368]

Wow is that made of gold 450 dollars and i gotta but more parts no thanks

[@jeremyfrix522]

Its a real shame but some people are just plain greedy 😤

[@RoscoeDaMule]

too expensive
