Ruger american v blocks

[Chrissb18]

Probably a stretch but would anyone happen to have a set of v blocks for a ruger american predator? I want to put mine in a chassis but my blocks are bedded in a Boyd's. My options are remove them from the bedding which I'm guessing isn't impossible? Or buy a new oem stock for 100 bucks. If anyone has some that would be the easiest route I think

You will need the v-blocks, because chassis will only have slots milled for the blocks to sit in. If you call Ruger they will probably hook you up with replacements.

Nice! When I had an MDT LSS-XL for the Ruger American, you had to drop in the factory V blocks. I’m surprised the Oryx isn’t the same.

Mdt told me they aren't included oryx told me they are integrated...you'd think it would be the same answer across the board lol

You should not need them for a chassis. The chassis will have a conventional V block the entire length of the action area.

Ruger's V-blocks are not actually V blocks they have a radius on the V.

The chassis will function just like any other stock with full bedding block but instead of a separate block molded into the stock it is machined into it as one solid piece!

You youngsters need to understand the technology that has come before this is not new it is 30 years old and pretty much a standard. While not as old as the Picatinny Rail it is almost as standard and common and old school.

So you are good to go just order your chassis and bolt her in!

Funny. So what do you use for recoil lugs if you don't use the metal radiused vblocks?

Yeah I don't really understand what he was getting at...they look like v blocks to me

The Ruger American Rifle uses 2 V blocks which engage with notches in the receiver both for bedding and as recoil lugs. They developed this for cost savings. In the factory rifle, these V-blocks are just slip fit into slots in the stock.
