Crafted by Magpul, a name synonymous with innovation and rugged reliability in the firearms industry, this stock transforms your reliable Ruger American into a highly adaptable and incredibly precise shooting platform.

Why Upgrade Your Ruger American Rifle Stock?

The factory stock on many Ruger American short action rifles, while functional, often leaves room for improvement in key areas that impact shooting performance and comfort. Shooters frequently encounter:

• Limited Adjustability: A fixed length of pull or comb height can prevent a proper cheek weld and comfortable sight picture, leading to inconsistent accuracy, especially with optics.
• Sub-optimal Ergonomics: The grip and overall feel may not suit all shooters, affecting control and fatigue during extended sessions.
• Magazine Constraints: Many factory Ruger American rifles utilize rotary magazines, which can be less convenient for rapid reloads or for those preferring higher capacity AICS-pattern magazines.
• Stock Flex and Bedding Issues: Polymer stocks, if not properly reinforced, can flex under pressure, potentially compromising accuracy. The lack of a rigid bedding surface can also introduce inconsistencies.
• Lack of Modularity: Limited options for attaching accessories like bipods, slings, lights, or other crucial gear.

The Magpul Hunter American Stock was purpose-built to address these very challenges, providing a comprehensive solution for shooters demanding more from their rifle.

Introducing the Magpul Hunter American Stock: A True Performance Upgrade

The Magpul Hunter American Short Action Stock (MAG931-GRY) for Ruger American SA rifles stands out as a premier aftermarket solution, offering a perfect blend of robust construction, advanced adjustability, and essential modularity. It's renowned as a true "drop-in" system, meaning you can install it yourself without the need for a gunsmith or complex bedding procedures, immediately experiencing a tangible improvement in your rifle's performance.

At its core, this stock is constructed from a reinforced polymer, providing exceptional durability and resistance to the elements. What sets it apart is the integrated anodized aluminum bedding block, paired with steel recoil lugs. This critical design feature ensures a rigid, consistent interface between your rifle's action and the stock, virtually eliminating flex and significantly contributing to enhanced accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency.

Key Features Explained in Detail

• Precision and Stability: The Integrated Aluminum Bedding Block & Steel Recoil Lugs
  • One of the most impactful features for precision shooting. The full-length aluminum bedding block cradles the rifle's receiver, preventing any movement or flex that could degrade accuracy. This rigid connection is crucial for maintaining zero and achieving tighter groups.
  • The integrated steel recoil lugs further enhance this stability by effectively managing recoil forces, ensuring the action remains firmly seated within the stock even under heavy recoil. This robust foundation is key to consistent performance in any shooting discipline.
• Unparalleled Customization and Comfort: Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) and Comb Height
  • Length of Pull (LOP): The stock features a fully adjustable length of pull, ranging from 13 inches to 15 inches. This critical adjustability allows shooters of all sizes, or those wearing different layers of clothing, to perfectly fit the rifle to their body. A proper LOP ensures natural shouldering, optimal eye relief for optics, and superior recoil management.
  • Comb Height: The adjustable comb height is equally important for achieving a perfect cheek weld. This ensures your eye is consistently aligned with your scope's reticle, reducing parallax errors and improving target acquisition. The ability to fine-tune both LOP and comb height means your rifle will feel like it was custom-made for you, promoting comfort and confidence in every shot.
• Ergonomics for Enhanced Control: Optimized Pistol Grip
  • The Magpul Hunter American stock boasts an ergonomic pistol grip design. This provides a more natural and comfortable hand position compared to many traditional rifle stocks. A comfortable grip translates directly to improved trigger control, reduced hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions, and greater overall command over the firearm.
• Modularity and Accessory Integration: M-LOK Compatibility
  • The forward section of the stock is M-LOK compatible. This widely adopted modular attachment system allows you to easily and securely mount a broad range of accessories. Whether you need a bipod for stable shooting, a tactical light, a sling attachment point, or other specialized equipment, the M-LOK slots provide versatile and secure attachment points, making your rifle highly adaptable to various scenarios.
• Seamless Magazine Conversion: Included Bolt Action Magazine Well & PMAG 5 7.62 AC
  • This is a standout feature for many Ruger American owners. The stock comes complete with Magpul's proprietary Bolt Action Magazine Well and a PMAG 5 7.62 AC magazine. This innovative system allows your Ruger American short action rifle to utilize widely available and highly reliable AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) pattern detachable box magazines. This instantly upgrades your rifle's magazine capacity and significantly improves reload speed and convenience, eliminating the need for custom inletting or complex modifications.
• Effortless Installation: The "Drop-In" Advantage
  • The Magpul Hunter American stock is engineered for a true drop-in fit. This means that for compatible Ruger American short action centerfire rifles, no bedding, machining, or specialized gunsmithing is required. You can simply remove your existing factory stock and install the Magpul Hunter American stock, transforming your rifle in minutes with basic tools. This ease of installation makes it an accessible upgrade for any firearm enthusiast.
• Durable and Lightweight Construction: Reinforced Polymer
  • Despite its robust features, the stock maintains a reasonable weight of 3.30 lbs. The reinforced polymer construction ensures exceptional durability, resisting impacts, abrasions, and environmental factors like moisture and temperature fluctuations. This lightweight yet tough design ensures your rifle remains manageable and reliable in diverse conditions.
• Free-Floating Barrel Channel:
  • The design incorporates a free-floating barrel channel. This crucial feature ensures that the barrel does not make contact with the stock along its length. Any contact can introduce inconsistent pressure points that negatively impact barrel harmonics and, consequently, accuracy. A free-floating barrel allows your rifle's barrel to vibrate uniformly during firing, leading to greater precision and repeatable shot placement.
• Stealth Gray Finish:
  • The MAG931-GRY model comes in an attractive Stealth Gray finish, offering a modern, understated aesthetic that complements a wide range of rifle builds and personal preferences.

• Hunters: Gain improved accuracy for ethical shot placement, better ergonomics for comfortable carry and quick target acquisition in varied terrain, and enhanced magazine capacity for follow-up shots.
