Ruger American Ranch pistol grip to vertical?? #16490670 10/02/21

I’ve seen the God-A-Grip and that may be an option. But I’d like something a little more substantial than that. Without costing a more than the stocks worth or looking like it was tossed on there. Any options? Thanks.

Any options? Thanks. God-a-grip? If'n I were looking at this, I'd shape up some wood, screw and Devcon the heck out of it and refinish the whole works. There's not much beyond removing the raised "ribs" that can be done to reshape them IME, hence the suggestion of adding some material for the vertical aspect.... Last edited by MtnBoomer; 10/03/21.

I used it for vertical grip conversions and widening forends. Rasp up your grip for adhesion and add the bondo, file to shape. 2 many 22's and 2 little time
