So I have a Ruger American Ranch 762x39. Love the rifle, not a big fan of the stock. I would love to slap it into a wood/wood laminate stock. They pretty much don’t exist. I found an article today on making your own stock. It doesn’t seem terribly difficult, and I have/have access to 95% of the tools needed. The Ruger American Ranch rifles have the trigger guard as part of the stock, but I can buy an aftermarket aluminum trigger guard. Aside from that I’ll need a butt pad, do a pillar/bed job, sling studs, and perhaps a mag well or way to attach my mag release to the stock.
Is this as easy as I am imagining it to be? Or am I in way over my head, and should just buy a howa mini action or CZ in X39 before I waste a bunch of money? Anyone built their own stock before?
