No, either the inletting is wrong for the floor plate, or the trigger guard. This is why McMillan makes you mail them your bottom metal when you order a ruger. You can either dick with the stock inletting, or remove a few thousandths from the metal post on the floor plate. Your choice... I've had my share of McMillan stocks for Rugers and they never 'made' me do anything, except pay them. I've also NEVER removed metal.

It AMAZES me that people send sheit back for simple things. I'm guessing some would have a car taking to the dealership for a flat tire.

I'm also amazed that people don't bed stocks, most especially wood and even most especially Ruger.

The Ruger bottom metal inletting on the Mcmillion, is better and different than the stock Ruger. Floor plate is flush with stock. Looks cleaner.
I do not care for Rugers 2 piece bottom metal, with that front angled screw they probably have to stick with it to get it to align.

Had a new Soldier, who was originally from Nepal, bought a new car and 3 days later got a flat tire. Wanted to return it to the dealership, took some explaining to him to explain it's not how it works.

Yeah right, dogcatcher giving more great advice...

He made some great points. But what is a bit frustrating is how poor the qc on USA made rifles. Kind of sad. That being said if you want to be a rifle looney you have to get hands on quite often. I have a hawkeye in 6.5 creed moor that I put into a custom boyds stock. Beautiful stock, nicely made Inletting was ok, but I had to tweet it a bit. Bedded it as well. Nice shooter. I know we are not all do it yourself kind of folks, but it does help at times. Good luck with your problem.

I know we are not all do it yourself kind of folks, but it does help at times. Good luck with your problem. It brings up the issues involved with buying from a big box store and a local gun shop. In one the gun is no different than a piece of cookware or a bicycle... finding anyone in there that actually knows guns is unlikely. Finding someone in the LGS that can find the issue ahead of time and do what it takes to fix it before the customer walks out the door with it is far more likely...

Guess McMillan slipped up on my order of a stock for my Ruger Hawkeye African- they never asked for my bottom metal, and the fit was perfect- unlike that on the original Ruger wood stock.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
