The Sharps Bros Heatseeker Chassis for Ruger American Short Action is a modern, affordable way to transform a traditional factory rifle into a versatile, magazine-fed platform. Built from billet 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in matte black Cerakote, this chassis weighs just 1 lb 3 oz and drops directly onto your Ruger American short action without gunsmith work. Whether you're building a precision rifle, hunting setup, or upgrading an existing gun, the Heatseeker gives you contemporary ergonomics and modular attachment options in one clean package.
The 14" handguard is machined from Sharps Bros' exclusive extrusion shape and tips the scales at 10 oz. M-LOK slots on all four sides let you mount lights, bipods, grips, and other tactical accessories exactly where you need them. Quick-disconnect fittings on both sides make sling attachment fast and secure. You'll use standard AR-15 grip and buffer tower interfaces, so you've got endless options for aftermarket stocks and grips to dial in your fit and comfort.
The Heatseeker accepts AICS short action magazines from Magpul and Accuracy International, making ammo swaps and reloading straightforward on the range or in the field. Installation is tool-free and uncomplicated—the simplified design means you're up and running without a trip to the gunsmith. If you're running a .308 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger American and want to modernize the platform while keeping your costs down, the Heatseeker delivers both form and function.
