Magpul Hunter American Stock for Ruger American Short Action FDE

Description

The Ruger American is a solid shooter straight out of the box, but that factory tupperware stock leaves a lot on the table. Magpul's Hunter American stock fixes that in about half an hour on the bench. It's a genuine drop-in swap for short-action, right-hand Ruger American rifles, built around reinforced polymer wrapped over a Type III hardcoat anodized cast aluminum bedding block with high-strength steel recoil lugs. That bedding block does the heavy lifting, supporting the action consistently so you get repeatable results downrange without paying a smith to bed the rifle.

Getting the Hunter American Stock Dialed to Your Frame

Fit is where this stock earns its keep. Length of pull runs from 13.0 to 15.0 inches using the included half-inch spacers, so you can set it up for a heavy hunting coat or a summer T-shirt. It ships pre-fitted with a 0.25-inch cheek riser, and Magpul offers 0.00, 0.50, and 0.75-inch risers separately if you want to fine-tune your cheek weld to line up perfectly behind a scope. An anti-slip rubber butt-pad keeps it planted on your shoulder when you settle in for a shot.

Barrel Clearance and Mounting Room on the Hunter American

The forend free-floats barrels up to 0.92 inch diameter, which covers factory contours right up through a medium palma profile, so heavier aftermarket barrels have room to breathe. Along the forend you get M-LOK slots for slings, bipods, and whatever else your setup calls for, giving you real modularity without drilling or adapters.

Feeding It With Detachable Mags

This is the big one for a lot of folks. The stock comes with Magpul's Bolt Action Magazine Well and a PMAG 5 7.62 AC, so you can run detachable AICS-pattern box magazines with no custom inletting. That PMAG is easy to spot with its brown lock plate and follower. Machined in the USA, the Hunter American takes a good rifle and makes it feel like it was built around you.
