Ruger American stock

[coop2564]

I have a Ruger American predator and want to stiffen the stock and add some weight. Thinking about using fiberglass resin with glass fibers and pouring in for-end and let harden. Then taking shop rags soaking in the resin and packing the hollow butt stock. Anyone tried this or have a better idea?

Perhaps you could check out the Boyd's Ruger American stocks. Very strong and quite reasonably priced. Got one for the grandson and bedded it. Great add on. Fiberglass and epoxys eventually break free from plastic.

JB Weld fill the voids and adds a little weight. Stiffen the stock

I have a RA. I put the stock in a vise and heated a piece of all-thread and pressed it into the stock. I then filled the cells with epoxy. It's nice and stiff, and no more fore end pressing against barrel.
