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 ……

Shitty deal.

I would personally just keep it, get it warm and slowly bend it back. I’d contact the company and see what they said first. But that’s me. I think the hassle of sending something back across the border, outweighs the hassle of bending it back. I also kind of like solving these types of problems though.

Agree with you on that I doubt the company would send it back, and sell it as it, due to it being it high demand (I’m one of the suckers that fell for it) And they could probably sell it no problem

I also think one of the comments was right in saying the stock is not bent, but the action screw anchors are off, bumped out of place So I’d likely start there

Yeah definitely confirm what you’re dealing with under the action. Maybe you could bed the action to solve that problem! Lol

Definitely the best option. See if u can get the company to sort it first, then diy if there isn’t the option. I’ll check my new gen 2 prairie but I’m pretty sure it’s good, although a bit too flexible for my liking. I plan to put a chassis on it anyways
