Page 3 TM-LT800 OPERATIONAL MANUAL FOR LARUE TACTICAL R.A.T. STOCK

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I.GENERAL The LaRue RAT™ Stock was designed to be the ideal complement to the LaRue Tactical AR15 family of rifles. The RAT works with any Mil-Spec Receiver Extension. The unique 2-stage trigger mechanism allows shooters to adjust the pull length of the stock while in a variety of shooting positions. The CNC-machined internals allow for smooth operation as trigger mechanism is pulled to the rear and released. The internals provide positive lockup on Mil-Spec receiver extension positions. The internal cavity is designed for a snug fit without the need for an additional locking mechanism. Ambidextrous 1/4” swivel sockets, and 1” slots provide ideal anchor points for two-point slings. A locking rear butt-plate slides open to expose compartments that hold cleaning kit components. II.SPECIFICATIONS Length: 6.990” Height: 5.30” Materials: Glass-filled polymer frame with metal internals. Over- molded rubber Butt Plate. Page 4 TM-LT800 OPERATIONAL MANUAL FOR LARUE TACTICAL R.A.T.
