Cracked stock Ruger RSM Please help.
#158890 - 13/04/10 07:42 PM

Gentlemen.

First of all. Please forgive my “rusty” English..

I have done a lot of practicing with my Ruger Rsm (458 Lott) lately, and a couple of days ago I discovered that the stock has started to crack. This crack is located behind the tang.
I remember reading about problems like this before someplace, (those stocks who had cracked was replaced by Ruger) but anyway I would like to ask you what you would do or did. I guess you would send your rifle back to Ruger? If so I will have a problem sending it. I live in Norway, and I guess it will be a hell of a job just to sort out the paperwork for shipping, and expensive!

Can you please give me your advice? What do you think would be the best way to sort out this problem?

And, what have you done with your RSM to prevent cracking? Is there anything other way than glass bedding?

Regards
Rino

Find out who the Distributor of ruger is in Europe
but I would possibly take it back to the shop you bought
it from as they would have regular contact with the people
they buy Ruger guns from.

For your stock to have cracked at the tang, the tank itself was probably acting as a recoil lug bearing on the in-letting at each firing. There should be a small space carved out behind the tang. Also the rear-most action screw hole should be drilled out enough that the screw is not bearing anywhere on the stock. You want all of the recoil force distributed onto the recoil lugs - and nowhere else.

Pat.

Rino, 375shooter is correct. When you get the rifle back it would be wise to have the action bedded and the tang area inleted so the tang does not make contact with the stock.

Cheers
Greg
