MDT Field Stock Ruger American Short Action – Black
Upgrade your Ruger American Short Action with the MDT Field Stock 106232-BLK, combining traditional rifle-stock ergonomics with the rigidity and consistency of an aluminum chassis core.
Built for hunting, predator rifles, long-range shooting, and recreational precision use, the Field Stock gives the Ruger American a more stable foundation without turning the rifle into a heavy dedicated competition setup.
Its 6061 aluminum core, V-block bedding, free-floated barrel, adjustable cheek riser, adjustable length of pull, AICS magazine compatibility, and M-LOK forend create a practical upgrade for shooters who want more capability from a factory Ruger American.
Traditional Stock Feel. Aluminum Chassis Foundation.
The Field Stock sits between a conventional factory stock and a full competition chassis.
Its outer profile retains the familiar handling of a traditional rifle stock, while the internal 6061 aluminum structure and V-block bedding system provide the rigidity expected from a modern precision platform.
The overmolded polymer exterior keeps the rifle comfortable to carry and shoot, while the aluminum core creates a more consistent interface with the action.
Built for the Ruger American Short Action
The 106232-BLK is designed for compatible Ruger American Short Action rifles, including supported original-generation and Gen 2 configurations.
The Field Stock replaces the flexible factory stock with a rigid bedding structure while also converting the rifle to a widely supported short-action AICS-pattern magazine system.
That makes it a strong foundation for factory-caliber hunting rifles, predator builds, range rifles, and practical long-range setups.
Black Finish
The Black finish gives the Field Stock a clean, understated appearance that works with nearly any barrel, optic, bottom metal, or accessory configuration.
It is a natural choice for shooters who want the performance benefits of the Field Stock without changing the traditional look of a black rifle setup.
V-Block Bedding & Free-Floated Barrel
The Field Stock uses an aluminum V-block bedding system to support the Ruger American action.
The barrel remains free floated throughout the forend, helping prevent external pressure on the stock from being transferred directly into the barrel.
Compared with a lightweight factory polymer stock, the result is a significantly more rigid and consistent foundation for the barreled action.
Heavy-Barrel Friendly
The barrel channel accommodates barrels up to approximately 1.25 inches in diameter, leaving room for many factory, predator, varmint, target, and heavier precision barrel profiles.
That makes the Field Stock useful whether the rifle remains close to factory configuration or develops into a heavier long-range setup.
Adjustable Shooter Fit
The Field Stock allows both cheek height and length of pull to be adjusted around the shooter and optic.
The adjustable cheek riser helps establish consistent eye alignment behind the scope, particularly when using larger optics, taller rings, thermal sights, or night-hunting equipment.
Length of pull can be adjusted from approximately 13.5" to 14.5" using the included spacer system.
A better-fitting rifle makes it easier to establish the same head position and shoulder placement from shot to shot.
AICS Magazine Compatibility
The Ruger American Short Action Field Stock uses short-action AICS-pattern magazines.
This moves the rifle away from the factory magazine system and into one of the most widely supported detachable-magazine formats used in bolt-action precision rifles.
Magazine selection should be matched to the cartridge and rifle configuration being used.
M-LOK Accessory Mounting
The Field Stock includes an M-LOK compatible forend for attaching bipods, accessory rails, sling hardware, tripod interfaces, short ARCA sections, and other compatible accessories.
The system allows the rifle to remain simple for hunting or field use while still providing room to add support equipment as the build evolves.
Made for Hunting & Predator Rifles
The Field Stock is particularly well suited to Ruger American hunting and predator builds.
Its traditional stock profile remains comfortable to carry, while the rigid internal chassis structure provides a more stable foundation for longer shots.
The adjustable comb is also useful for rifles running larger conventional optics, thermal scopes, or night-vision equipment where additional comb height may be needed.
Long-Range & Recreational Precision Use
For shooters moving a Ruger American toward long-range use, the Field Stock provides many of the upgrades that matter most without requiring a dedicated match chassis.
The rigid bedding system, adjustable ergonomics, AICS magazine compatibility, free-floated barrel, and modular forend give the rifle considerably more room to grow than the original factory stock.
Add a bipod and keep the rifle simple, or build it out with additional support and mounting equipment as needed.
Ruger American Gen 2 Fitment
The Field Stock is compatible with supported Ruger American Gen 2 Short Action rifles.
Because the Gen 2 introduced an additional safety position, minor clearance fitting around the safety area may be required on some rifles. Check the safety for full, unrestricted movement during installation.
Build Out Your Ruger American
High Value without Overbuilding
The MDT Field Stock gives the Ruger American the upgrades that matter most: a rigid aluminum bedding structure, free-floated barrel, adjustable shooter fit, AICS magazines, and modular accessory mounting.
It does that while retaining the comfortable profile and practical handling of a traditional rifle stock.
For hunters, predator shooters, and recreational precision shooters, it offers a strong middle ground between the factory stock and a full competition chassis.
