We sell far more than pillars, but bedding hardware is where Pete's Pillars began. Our Ruger American Competition and SlimLine pillar kits provide practical choices for compatible traditional-stock bedding projects. Each features our machined, profiled aluminum design and a trim-to-fit approach where required.
Epoxy-inclusive listings include premium bedding epoxy (brand may vary). Installation hardware and action screws are sold separately. A chassis with an integral action-support system generally does not require aftermarket bedding pillars.

Visit MDT Hub →Ruger American Fitment Guide
Ruger American rifles span several action lengths, generations and model families. A Ruger American short-action chassis is not automatically a long-action fit. The centerfire American and Ruger American Rimfire also use different action and stock designs. Ranch, Predator and Gen II variations can introduce additional magazine, barrel-clearance and safety considerations.
Before buying, identify the exact rifle model and generation, action length, handedness, cartridge, stock inlet and magazine interface. Some MDT Field Stock listings specifically note potential Gen II safety-clearance fitting. Follow the manufacturer's compatibility notes before making any changes.
Ruger American Parts & Fitment FAQ
Are Ruger American Gen I and Gen II stocks interchangeable?
Not universally. Gen II differences, including the safety configuration, may affect fitment. Some chassis and stock listings describe manufacturer-approved fitting considerations. Check the exact product and rifle generation before ordering.
Will a centerfire Ruger American chassis fit a Ruger American Rimfire?
No universal fit should be assumed. The centerfire and rimfire rifles use different action designs. Start with a product explicitly listed for Ruger American Rimfire.
Are Ruger American Ranch and Predator models the same inlet?
The model names alone do not establish stock or chassis compatibility. Verify the rifle's generation, action length, magazine configuration, barrel channel and exact fitment stated by the chassis manufacturer.
Can a short-action Ruger American stock fit a long-action rifle?
Do not assume it can. Dedicated short-action and long-action options are listed separately. Shop the correct inlet and compare all fitment notes before ordering.
Will my factory Ruger American magazine work in an aftermarket chassis?
That depends on the chassis and its magazine interface. Some aftermarket systems use alternative magazine patterns; a factory magazine is not guaranteed to transfer over.
Does a Ruger American need a pillar bedding kit?
Not every rifle does. Traditional stocks may benefit from properly fitted bedding components when the stock and action allow it. Many modern chassis already use integral action support. See our pillar bedding collection and confirm your particular application.
Where can I shop Ruger American Rimfire chassis and small parts?
Start with our Ruger American Rimfire section for a dedicated MDT LSS-RF chassis and select DIP parts, or browse the current rimfire results.
