Rusan Picatinny rail – Browning A-bolt 3 LA

Introduction

Picatinny rail consists of slots with 5.23 mm spaces between one another, which means that it can be used across its entire length. It is simple to mount and interchangeable – if something is made for a Picatinny rail, it will fit regardless of the manufacturer or manufacturing date. It is affordable, resilient and reliable – this is why it so commonly used by professionals and military. Because of all its great qualities, Picatinny rail has been dominating the rail market in the recent years.

Picatinny is a big step forward from the Weaver standard. Weaver has a few predesignated slots while Picatinny has slots all over its surface, allowing the device to be mounted wherever the user finds it fitting. Weaver’s slot is 3.8 mm wide, which is why ring mounts made for a Weaver rail will also fit on a Picatinny rail while ring mounts made specifically for a Picatinny rail will not fit on a Weaver rail. This is one of the main reasons why Picatinny is a far better mounting solution.

Rusan, a company from Croatia, is one of the manufacturers of Picatinny rails. They make mounts exclusively from steel and provide buyers with a wide selection of Picatinny rails for various rifles. They are made from high quality deep blue finish steel. Picatinny Rails include screws with appropriate thread for the corresponding rifle. Rusan covers 10 years of warranty for all its products.

About the rifle

Browning Arms Company is a manufacturer of firearms and fishing gear with headquarters in America. They offer a wide selection of firearms and are most known for the following firearms: BPS shotgun, A-bolt rifle, X-bolt rifle, BAR semi-automatic rifle and Auto-5 semi-automatic shotgun.

Browning A-bolt III (AB3) is a bolt-action rifle. The bolt, which locks into place with 3 recoil lugs, is operated with a 60-degree lift. The action is push-feed. The rifle is available in the following calibers: .270 Win., .30-06 Sprg., 7mm Rem. Mag. and .300 Win. Mag. There are 4 mounting holes on the receiver altogether, 2 on the front mounting surface and 2 on the rear mounting surface. The bolt lock override button is just behind the bolt lever, on the right side of the stock. The slide safety is located on the tang.

Browning A-bolt III (AB3) is available in two action lengths. When a rifle is available in more than one action length, only two-piece mounts are interchangeable between these rifles – a two-piece mount made for Browning A-bolt III (AB3) long-action (LA) can also be mounted on Browning A-bolt III (AB3) short-action (SA). One-piece mounts will only fit a rifle with a specific action length – a one-piece mount made for rifles Browning A-bolt long-action (LA) will not fit Browning A-bolt short-action (SA).

Browning A-bolt III (AB3) does not have the same mounting surfaces as classic Browning A-bolt, therefore the mounts suitable for classic Browning A-bolt will not fit Browning A-bolt III (AB3).

This mount is suitable for Browning A-bolt III (AB3) long-action models.

Mounting instructions

Remove all the stains (grease, oil etc.) from the rifle’s receiver with a cleaning fluid (acetone). Once the surface is clean and dry, check whether the screws match the rail and the holes on the receiver. Make sure that the Picatinny rail is compatible with the rifle by inspecting the mounting holes on both. Before mounting the rail permanently, apply a minimal amount of thread-locking fluid 278 or 648 on screws and contact surfaces. Be careful not to get the fluid in or near the mounting holes. Carefully clean the remaining excess fluid around the rail with a cleaning fluid. Using a torque driver, screw the screws appropriately (up to 2.2 Nm) – do not overtighten.

Warranty

The product has a warranty period of 10 years.
