Ruger does not make a LH RAR with the AISC mag or a LH RAR that will work with the AR mag .

Yeah I seen the left hand after I posted that but I just left it.

What after market stock is that?

Looks like bell and carlson

Hillbilly and leon, thanx for the replys! Ordered one from cdnn today---hope it works OK! The one that came with the rifle ( a rotary) works fine, just wanted a spare.

Thanx Again!
Hip

Yep it’s a Bell & Carlson

Most people love them, including my best friend. The one I owned (.223) was very inaccurate. And yes, I reload. It's hard to try again.

I got one early on in 243 and have had no problems so far .

I did the same thing with a BAR.

I found a .243 and a .308 today, both brand new All weather SS compacts for sale for $400 each. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I may have to pick up the .308 just due to ease of finding ammo. Put a standard stock on it and it would be a lightweight little deer and caribou gun.

Certainly works with mine... I contacted Ruger and asked about their mags and would a 223 mag work in it, and they told me NO..

Contacts several other magazine makers and asked them the same question and they told me no..

a Marine Vet I run into over at the range asked me about my rifle... and I asked him if he minded if I tried to see if one of the 50 AR mags he had would work in my Grendal from Ruger...

rounds went in just fine and worked just fine in operation.. when the manufacturers told me NO...

so much for getting a straight story from manufacturers....

I don't even know where my factory Predator mag is right now... but then I had a little over Half a dozen aftermarket 223 ten round mags, that I use with it...
that will hold 10 rounds of 6.5 Grendal rounds...each made of polymers...

Let me rephrase that I'm glad you pointed that out. You don't need Asics type mags for 6.5 Grendel the standard AR magazines that are six five Grendel specific work quite well. Now I never try to standard 556 magazine with the Grendel cartridge. I always just got the ones that were specific.
But up on reading this experience I might have to experiment here.

But I do have a 22 250 that I changed to a Magpul stock to use Asics my exam because I couldn't get any factory magazines to work with a damn with the 22 250. And it feeds great with four if you stick 5 in at the first one won't feed very good I think I could adapt the follower just a touch and solve that I just haven't got to try that yet.
