I got the same stock as noknees last month. (Ruger LA MK 2, green with black webbing and Dec. pad.) My first reaction was to run after the delivery truck. The action was canted, the barrel wasn't straight, two big chips. I don't even know how to describe how the floorplate fit. (And it weighed 35 ounces. Someone else said theirs was 31 and that was what I was hoping for.) The stock, plus shipping, was $210. So much work needed done I didn't trust myself, so it went to the smith. He was nice and only charged me $30. Things are still a little off, (if he lowered the tang anymore the mag box would be too low)but he did a great job. The plastic stock that the rifle came with is more stiff in the forend than this stock. Anyway, it ended up at 240. For 385 I could have gotten a McM off the specials page, or for 50 more gotten one anyway I wanted from Rick. I'm wishing I would have. Or, I should have just let well enough alone until Bansners of the Edge is made for the Mk 2.
