Anyone form1 a bolt action?
Ive been wanting to do it and i just bought a Ruger American in 300blk but it doesn’t look like i can cut much off. Maybe 5”.
Anyone modify there stocks to get it shorter. Not trying to make it look like shit.

@doubleshot00 Sorry for coming late to the party. I have a Ruger American Ranch in 300blk waiting for form 1 approval. It is in the ATFs awaiting research pile, so it will prolly be summer before I get it back. My plan is to start with cutting the factory barrel back to 8-9”. Like you say, with the factory stock you are pretty limited in how far you can cut it down. Also, given my gun takes AR mags, my stock choices are limited. Luckily, Indian Creek Designs makes a compatible chassis. I will have to get their forend cut down, but that’s no biggie. I am going to put a folding stock adapter on it and will use my Q Full Nelson and that should give me a whisper quiet pocket gun.
