So, Reynolds, did you replace the stock with a Walnut stock, or plywood, or synthetic? If wood, wanna share a picture? Was there anything wrong with the original stock other than being plastic? My previous post was my viewpoint and opinion. My main shooting buddy loves black-plastic stocked rifles. He couldn't resist getting the Ruger American in 308. He likes it and hasn't had any problems with it yet. I have heard that the original plastic magazines were problematic and had to be redesigned. If the rifle is popular enough there could be a lot of after-market replacement parts to make it a better rifle. Clearly, you've seen fit to replace the stock on yours.
