Ruger Grendel after-market questions

[Nukes]

We have some family birthdays ahead, so I am thinking about gifting a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Grendel: https://ruger.com/products/americanRiflePredator/specSheets/26922.html

Since I hate the stock and plastic trigger guard and Ruger trigger, it was natural that I consider a Magpul stock https://magpul.com/hunter-american-stock-ruger-american-stanag.html?mp_global_color=118 and Timney trigger https://timneytriggers.com/replacement-trigger-for-the-ruger-american-centerfire/ … BUT… Magpul says their STANAG mag well only works with "factory" magazines, the Ruger site only specifies "Metal AR-Style," and Ruger's customer service is "closed due to unforeseeable circumstances."

What magazines have run flawlessly in my proposed Ruger/Magpul combo? Alexander Arms, E-lander, others?

Any other useful advice about triggers?

Any general comments?

So few opinions. Shocking, simply shocking, I say.

you can get a stock that takes AICS mags and run the MDT 6mm ARC magazines. Thats what I did. Works great.

6.5 Grendel is already a significant part of our family "ammo fort." Do you see an advantage for the 6mm ARC that makes it worth stockpiling yet another cartridge?

After handling a Magpul stock, I opted for the Bell and Carlson stock. That was for an original rotary mag 300BO, and it works with the factory mags. Bell and Carlson has an aics type magwell for their stocks. I know nothing of it's function.

Grendel fan here. Cheap to shoot and does way more than it should. My next build is on QC Zeus action and I’ll spin one up for that I’m super excited

He was referring to the use of their Arc mags, which would work with 6.5 grendel and derivatives in an aics magwell. Indian creek and MDT make ar mag chassis.

MDT also makes a version of their LSS-XL chassis for the Ruger American that takes STANAG pattern mags:
