Why did you accept it at your gun store?? Seeing that I would have not accepted it and have the store send it back.
I haven't accepted it yet. FFL messaged me immediately and he still has it. In a fight with selling dealer as we speak. He is denying all responsibility and I cannot file a grievance with GB until 30 days for some ODD reason

I do not think that's a factory configured stock. I do not recall the extra checkering on one like that.
And it appears the gun has had some modifications to it as well.

At best,, you can find A wood stock,, but not one with that checkering. I too would be filing a claim with GB & against the carrier etc.

Along with finding a new stock, I would be extremely worried about the overall condition of the rifle. To break a stock like that, what other damage might have happened?
My FFL is also a gunsmith and he inspected the other components and feels there is no other damage luckily. I'm more pissed that I purchased that particular rifle because of the rare stock and now it is just a pile of fireplace material.
Have a 195 series stock off a new rifle, will that work. Only metal is rear swivel and buttplate.
Can you post pic?

That looks to be a Boyd's walnut stock. They are not inexpensive. Two that crack is from side ways pressure. There should be metal reinforcement there but it is missing as there are no screws through the side of the stock which holds the reinforcement in place. I can't imagine Boyd's would not have included the holes so I may be wrong but that is why that stock cracked that is the weekest part of that stock

Are the Mini 14 and Mini 30 stocks the same? I have a wood stock for a 1980's version of the Mini 30.
That model does not fit the post 580 series . Thanx though

Yeah, It is a Boyds stock. I went to their website and priced a new one exactly as this is and it is almost $520... DAMN!

That's majorly F'ed!!! +1 on the UPS driver. I can't imagine the barrel and or the action not being "Bent" even if it's a few thousandths that would make the barrel nearly useless. Of course these things aren't particularly accurate to begin with.

There are a few of them on ebay .
I have looked there but almost all the sellers cannot tell me if theirs is a 180- model or 580-model. Not taking that chance
Have you called Ruger Parts & Service to see if they have any like you are wanting ?
All they have is the basic wood stock. Looking for something different

What are you looking to get for it? Can you bring it with you to medina on 6/10?
