The MDT Timber Core is what happens when a company known for winning competition chassis decides to build a wood stock. It fits right-hand Ruger American short-action rifles and pairs a ultra-rigid laminated wood exterior with an aluminum micro-chassis hidden inside. That combination gives you the timeless feel of a laminate stock backed by the kind of consistency you usually only find in a full aluminum chassis.
The heart of this stock is MDT's V-block bedding system. It locks the action into the aluminum core for a solid, repeatable connection between the action and the stock, which is where accuracy really comes from. No traditional bedding job and no gunsmith required. You drop in your action and bottom metal, torque the screws, and head to the range. Laminate construction is layered wood pressed together, so it resists the warping and point-of-impact shifts that can plague solid wood when temperature and humidity swing around.
MDT carried over the good habits from its precision chassis line. You get a 68-degree grip angle for a more natural hold, a soft rubber recoil pad, and length of pull that adjusts through an included spacer system so the stock fits you instead of the other way around. Integrated QD sling studs on the rear and dual studs up front let you run a bipod and a carry sling at the same time, which matters when you are hiking in and setting up prone.
The forend uses a Proof Sendero barrel channel profile, so it clears heavier contour barrels that a standard wood stock would choke on. Keep in mind the Timber Core needs a bottom metal with AICS magazine compatibility to run detachable mags, which opens up a huge range of polymer and metal magazine options. For a right-handed Ruger American owner looking to move past the factory polymer, this is a serious step up in both looks and shooting feel.
No. The aluminum micro-chassis with V-block bedding is built right into the stock, so you skip the traditional bedding job entirely. You install your action and bottom metal, torque the screws to spec, and you are ready to shoot. A 5/32 Allen key handles most of the work, though on the Ruger American you will also install the magazine latch since the rear action screw sits beneath it.
This is the stock on its own and does not include bottom metal or a magazine. To run detachable AICS-pattern magazines you will need a compatible bottom metal such as the MDT Core, Hunting, or Precision options, or any Badger M5 profile bottom metal. That setup then opens up a wide selection of polymer and metal AICS magazines.
Yes. The forend uses a Proof Sendero barrel channel profile, which clears heavier contour barrels that a traditional wood stock would not accommodate. That makes it a good match whether you are running a factory sporter barrel or stepping up to a match-grade contour.
Laminate construction layers wood together under pressure, which increases strength and resistance to warping. That helps hold your zero as temperature and humidity change, where solid wood can shift point of impact. Combined with the internal aluminum chassis, you get classic wood looks with modern consistency.
