Not with a threaded barrel you couldn't lol. Or a non-plastic stock.

Threaded barrel does nothing for me. If the factory ruger stock had been halfway decent I wouldnt have stuck it in the plywood.

RAR Ranch rifle in 5.56/223. At just under $400 it was an easy decision. With the complimentary youth stock that Ruger sent to me, this will be the rifle that my kids use when they're old enough to start hunting. I've come to love the 16" barrel.

With a 3-9 Burris ballistic plex scope, it isn't exactly Rokslide-approved. I like it a lot, however. It's not as slick as a Tikka compact, and I won't pretend that it's in the same league. But it's a ton of fun.

Thought I would pull the truck gun out today for the first time in a while and see how it’s faired over the last few months.
Cold bore is right above the 1.
It did as it always does. 😁😁

RAR with Mcgowen 284 Winchester barrel. Bell and Carlson stock and Pacific tool and gauge bottom metal. Started life as a .30-06. Good shooter so far. Hopefully stockys will have some better stock options for these rifles at some point.

Was switching the bottom metal pretty straight forward? My RAP is great and extremely accurate. But I HATE the rotary mags.

If the factory stock has the removable mag well, it can be swapped out for the AICS mag well.

I had to mill the stock out in order to fit the bottom metal. Did it on a bridgeport.

Gen2 - 5.56 with OCL Hydrogen L and a .350 with OCL Lithium. Only had them out once so far, but both seem to be plenty accurate enough for me.
