Received this box after a long wait. Imported from the states. Barrel is far from ‘free floating’ in fact it’s almost ‘bedded’ on the right side of the barrel. I’ve heard story’s of the Gen 2 American’s not being seated well, but IMO this is unusable.

With this being imported, there is an almost zero chance of it being replaced ……

I have a Gen 2 5.56 on the way to me right now. Hope it turns out better than this. 

Ruger I've heard has good customer support though so maybe reach out to them. Have you tried pulling the action out and reseating it in the stock? Maybe it got torqued wrong at the factory.

You could also just shave a bit off one side of the stock. I've done that on a few rifles.

Or buy a Magpul or MDT stock for it. I really like the look of the magpul and will probably eventually swap mine. I currently have a Gen 2 Predator 308 and it shoots quite well, not quite as good as my Savage 334 though, but good enough.

A $400 stock on a mediocre rifle doesn’t sound to appealing to me. They look great, and I’d love to have the extra weight…..but the cost is too high.

Can I ask, who’d you get yours from?
