The MDT TIMBR CORE rifle stock for the Ruger American short action in Green Mountain Camo, sold without a bottom metal (brand part no. 116017-GMC) is a right-hand drop-in replacement built around an aluminum micro-chassis and laminate birch wood. The V-block bedding locks the action in place with no bedding compound and no gunsmithing, so the rifle goes together with a few screws and a torque driver. MDT drew on the ergonomic cues of its chassis systems, including a refined grip angle and length-of-pull spacers, while keeping the look of a traditional wood stock. MDT sells this configuration without a bottom metal, and the stock requires one with AICS magazine compatibility. It suits whitetail woods and weekend range sessions alike, and wood naturally dampens felt recoil.

Key Specifications

• The inlet is the Ruger American short action, with a short action AICS pattern magazine length once a compatible bottom metal is fitted.
• The stock is clear coated laminate birch in Green Mountain Camo, a real wood finish that feels warm in the hand and soaks up recoil.
• This version ships with no bottom metal, and the stock requires a bottom metal with AICS magazine compatibility.
• An aluminum micro-chassis with V-block bedding holds the action with no flex, so the rifle repeats from one session to the next.
• Length of pull adjusts from 13.6 to 14.6 inches through 1/4-inch spacers, a full inch of adjustment.
• The stock weighs 2.6 pounds without bottom metal, a light base for a hunting rifle.
• The barrel channel follows a Proof Sendero profile, and the oversized forend channel accepts heavier barrels.
