Ruger American rifle stock shortening and recoil pad install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2018
- A quick instructional/educational video on cutting a synthetic stock to length for a shorter shooter. Discussion on methods and tools used. Remember to be steady and go slow. Measure twice and cut once. Test equipment before using on your hunting rifle. I would recommend roughening up the inside of the stock with sandpaper and wiping down glue surfaces (inside stock and wood block) with acetone or alcohol to clean. Let surfaces dry good then glue. I used an epoxy. Does not include recoil pad fitting or grinding. Many of these videos are already available and it is pretty straight forward.
After grinding the pad to fit I found I began to hit an internal metal piece. Stopping at the metal and finishing the contours left me with a pad that fits about 1/4 inch proud at the bottom of the stock and faded to a nicely matched top at the comb. I used seam grip tent seam sealer to seal up the small spot where metal was encountered. it is very functional and works great. If I were to do it over I would look for a pad that doesn't have a metal center that might be ground down a bit more. This stock is very slim especially when cut down. As always be safe and good luck!
Never thought of this method for attaching the butt stock when the new screws don't align but what a great idea!
Good job
Was looking at how to install an after market pad on a synthetic stock. This video gave me some great idea (with the wooden spacer).
Good job! Nice and clean cut I like the solution you came up with. Smart!
Dude you're my HERO! Thank you SO MUCH for giving me the key to doing this on my shotgun, you're awesome man :D :)
Great idea! I'm doing the same to my M1 tactical Benelli ... gonna use a hunk of plastic instead of wood. JB Weld is my go to epoxy. Great job! Thanks!
your sister is lucky to have you fix this up for her!
Thanks for this, Tony. I've got an 870 that I want to do this to... I've had my 12 gauge for about 25 years - back then, the stock length didn't seem to matter all that much, but as I've gotten older (I'm shrinking, I guess! lol) it just seems to be too big for me. The butt also really hangs up on my jacket, making it difficult to do anything quickly. (Again, I think my arms are getting shorter as I get older! lol) I've thought about just looking for an old wood stock, figuring the wood would be easier to work with. I appreciate this video, though... I'd rather keep the synthetic stock, if possible.
A lot of even average size men don't realize how they could benefit from a shorter stock especially when she get hunting clothes on.
I'm 5'9 and so is my son and youth model stocks fit us better than a conventional stock or should say off the shelf rifle which seem to be made for guys that are like 6 ft.
Thanks for this. Need to do this on my Benelli Tactical shotgun. Length of pull on it is WAY too long for a defensive shotgun.
Good luck if you go for it. I wanted to mention that as I ground the Pachmyr pad down I reached a metal plate inside before matching my finished stock profile. The Ruger American rifle has a very slim stock and finished out was fully functional but sits proud of the stock contour by probably 1/8" on lower sides and close to a 1/4" on the very tip of the bottom. A more robust stock that is closer to the pad dimensions should work out fine. There may be another pad out there with polymer internals that can be ground more as well. Just wanted to keep you informed. I can't edit my description or video or I'd put it in there.
This is exactly what I was looking for a video like this for, my field stock on my benelli m4 I have coming. Sounds like it’ll be too long for me
Great job and info, it will help me a lot!!
Thanks for sharing!
Is there a part two ?
Thanks. Got one to do!!
Does all the work. Films it afterwards.
Nice job. I was thinking about this, but reusing the original Ruger pad.
Would the holes still have lined up on your cut with the original pad?
They would be close. I still think you'd need a wooden spacer to get a good attachment point. Good luck if you do this. I'm still learning this UA-cam stuff. One thing I need to add that I learned after making this video is that I hit a metal internal part on my pachmayr recoil pad and had to stop grinding a bit short of flush on the stock. I stopped grinding and still got a decent finished product. I'll try to figure out how to post this info for people. My finished recoil pad install sits proud of the butstock by an 1/8-1/4 inch on the sides and bottom. A different brand of pad without metal inside might allow more grinding to fit the Ruger's narrow stock.
