Re: Ruger Canadian SBR in 30-06

I like it. Though why 30-06 is puzzling, unless they use them now in something else and have stocks of ammo already.

I guess if the stock were commercially available we'd have seen more of them by now, it's several years old now.

More than likely it's just a worn/poorly fit safety. The proper fix would be to build up weld, then reshape and fit. Keeping it as is. While the parts may not be "correct", they've probably been with the gun a long time. (unless they're shiny new.) :D For an every day modern shooter, you'd...
