A replacement chassis designed for Ruger American Gen II rifles, produced by a third-party manufacturer, offers shooters options beyond the factory-provided component. These alternative chassis systems can be constructed from various materials like synthetic polymers, laminated wood, or aluminum, and frequently incorporate features such as adjustable length of pull, cheek risers, and improved ergonomics. An example would be a Magpul Hunter X-22 stock specifically designed for this rifle platform. This specific chassis provides a more rigid platform and M-LOK slots for accessory attachment, unlike the standard factory stock.
Upgrading to an alternative chassis system can significantly enhance the rifle’s accuracy, comfort, and overall shooting experience. Improved ergonomics can lead to better recoil management and a more natural shooting position. Increased adjustability allows shooters to tailor the rifle’s fit to their individual body type and shooting style. A more rigid chassis can improve accuracy by providing a stable platform for the barreled action. The growing popularity of the Ruger American Gen II has fueled a robust market for these upgrades, providing consumers with a wide range of options to suit their needs and preferences.
