KZfaqrs love putting in their dumb intros. I wish these fuckers would stop wasting my time.

Lmao there was a ruger 10-22 magazine cleaning and reassembly video that had great info in it, but with opera-like music on the background 😐

Do you like it with the ai mags a lot better? I don’t mind the rotary mag, mainly because it’s flush fit to the receiver, but have an ai conversion on hand just haven’t committed!

Where did you get your adapter

@@brycelong1225 I called up Ruger Customer Service and paid $28 to have it sent to my door.

Thank you for telling me

If you purchase the Magpul brand AICS 5-round magazine(s) you can easily convert them to 6-round magazine)s by cutting of a section of the follower. The follower is even marked at the proper point to do so.

When hunting prairie dogs, the 10 rounder is not ridiculous at all but rather useful. You should see what quality 6.5 creed hunting loads do to those little bastards.

I'm thinking about getting a LH Predator in 308 and doing the mod. Or maybe just save the extra money and get the LH Scout. The Savage Impulse Hog Hunter would be interesting as well.

Absolutely. Would kill to have a .22-250 and 6 Creedmoor in LH

Does this kit work on the left hand Ruger Americans?

@@maxolsen2096 I just made this conversion for my left hand 6.5 creedmoor Ruger American Predator. It works just fine.

18 rounds no missfeeds. I like it better. Have a lazy Sunday.

Wow! I was way off. Guess I need to have my elbow recalibrated. Thanks for the clarification. That's helpful.

@@VailAvenue get u a wheeler fat wrench. I put my predator in a magpul hunter stock and it's a tack driver

AI is Accuracy International that has created a box magazine style for .308 and other calibers that has been adopted as somewhat of a standard. I'm not an expert so do your own research on that. But Magpul also makes AI magazines.

@@VailAvenue Thanks.I'll check them out,also again and very good informative vid!

Yes, that spec is right. I was way off on my mention of torque in this video

It's from "Matthew's Fabrication" and you can now buy them on Amazon. I used smaller stainless thumbscrews from Mcmaster-Carr just because I wanted them more sub-dued, but he does provide the hardware including larger thumbscrews than are seen on mine in the video.

Yes

No. Adjust the trigger first!

why would you want to sell your ruger American creed? That's a fantastic tack driver for whitetail or whatever you put the crosshairs on. My shoulder prefers it over the .308

@@kurtglo letting my nephew hunt with the 6.5 this fall. Gonna try some Winchester 129 g Power Points in it next time at the range. It’s a great rifle but surprisingly my Ruger American Predator 308 doesn’t kick bad, despite its light weight. And with the 18” barrel it’s the exact same length as my other brush gun, my Marlin 35 Rem, which they apparently don’t make ammo for anymore 😢.

@@davidrussell631 that will make your nephew a great rifle. I hunted with a 7mm Rem mag here in Michigan until I fell from my tree stand while bow hunting. Another great tack driver from RA is the 7.62x39. Shoots great in the brush as well. Happy hunting

@@kurtglo I fell while trying to hang a stand almost thirty years ago. My mistake was in not using a linesman’s belt, although I honestly don’t recall ever seeing one used at the time. All I had at the time was a little shoulder harness they don’t even sell anymore that my wife picked up for me and told me to wear. Thankfully by God’s mercy the bones of my feet healed while in a cast and I had no permanent injury. So thankful you’re still with us after your fall.

@@davidrussell631 Thanks David- Yes, not many people survive a 25 foot fall and still live. Even "superman" Christopher Reeves parallelized himself after falling off a horse!

No, once you change the magwell, it is AICS mags only, 5 rounders or 10 rounders. I much prefer the box style magazine. All together better. I usually only use the 5 rounder, but it is just more intuitive and confidence inspiring to have a "normal" box style magazine.

@@VailAvenue awesome! Thank you sir 👍

When I attend precision rifle classes, we shoot 100 -120 rounds in 8 hours. I set this up for a class to do that. I have an appreciation for subdued features as well so I understand what you mean. It just comes down to setting things up for your use case. I've got 5 of these loaded and ready in training, and in a break, we are all charging mags to keep up with instruction. If you are hunting and shoot one round per day, it would probably not offer a benefit.

@@VailAvenue agree I'm trying to find out from ruger if i can just order the normal one but she needed the serial number and since i didn't purchase the firearm just because of that silly imho release i couldn't give it to her. Seems like they could tell me based on the fact that it's ruger and it has that stupid thing. Either they can or can be changed out.

@@VailAvenue normal one meaning the mag. Housing

How is it much better?

@@d30gaijin to start PTG is metal (vs. Ruger plastic). Oversized winter triggerguard, mag funnel, CNC machined for fit, vs Ruger injection molded plastic fit (magwell has to have to have exact tolerances to feed correctly since there is no front lug in AICS mags, nor detent, otherwise the mag rocks back and forth), PTG bottom metal can be glass bedded into place with zero flex, zero material weakness in cold weather, and not susceptible to structural damage in pro longed heat, and UV. Metal mags in PTG are drop free, extended latch, trigger hand operated.......and.... you don't have to go through all these steps to disassemble your rifle (like in the video, removing and re installing the mag latch). With the PTG, it just takes 1 allen wrench, and a few seconds. No disassembly of the mag latch....ever. Or do you mean how is a wood stock better than the thin plastic ?

@@takinisurvivalchannel3812 Thank you for the detailed explanation. Very enlightening. Wood vs. plastic stock is a whole different topic. I have used both with excellent success. My current Palma Rifle wears a laminated wood stock, although I have used McMillan glass stocks on my Palma rifles with equal success. Again, thanks for your explanation.

You just have to call them with your serial number. You have to give them the serial number to determine if it is a conversion candidate. I don't recall anything about a part number for the kit

There are a variety of ways to generate a cheek rest. The most common used to be a velcro on version. This one is a kydex that is fitted to this stock. 40 bucks from Matthew's Fabrication. It's great. Just Google them and you will find it

I have one on order for my 350 legend ranch right now. Same issues with feeding. Ruger said it would fit but didn't guarantee good feeding. Forums I've read through say it works awesome.

@@smedanglerbronzeback7893 I ordered one as well, I will let you what happens

It took about 4 weeks for the kit, and also took about the same for the magazines. I think that was due to keeping up with production demands during the pandemic.

I'm sure can. Call Ruger with your serial number and see if it's possible

I was told the lefty would not convert, but I ordered the parts anyway. I want to find out for myself.

@@brianclevenger5521 Did it work?

​@perfect7liberty AI mags are single stack center-feed. Right or left hand action is irrelevant

Matthew's Fabrication LLC. You can get them on Amazon. I used smaller thumbscrews than what was provided in the kit which I got from McMaster-Carr.

@@VailAvenue purchased! 👌 😃🤘🙌 thx brother

It works with both.

The only thing I could offer is to call Roger and give them your serial number to see.

Not sure on that. Aftermarket stocks totally change the options available. I wanted to keep the stock ruger stock. 26 dollars for the conversion from ruger was great for me since I just wanted to change the magazines. If you also want to change the entire stock, more options will be out in the market for sure

It is detailed in the video. Call Ruger and give them your serial number.

I dont know. You need to give Ruger your serial number and they tell you if you are a candidate for conversion.

@@VailAvenue awesome thanks, I'll give them a shout and see

@@3rdeyespy967 if is a new american ruger model it will work

@@SuAmigoElilegal yep mine is a candidate, I'm going to be ordering it soon

@@3rdeyespy967 👌

It came with the kit from Ruger

It's in the video. You need to call Ruger and give them your serial number to see if your gun is a candidate for conversion. If it is, you buy the kit directly from Ruger over the phone.

Why not contact Ruger on the torque? When I did they specified 60 to 80 inch pounds. Why guess?

Ruger told me 30-35 inch pounds for the AICS

I think you just need to call Ruger and give them your serial number and go from there

@@VailAvenue ok then i will try tomorrow, appreciate the reply, happy shooting.

I would guess the newer, the more likely, but you just need to call Ruger with your serial number. They determine off serial number only. I don't know which serial number groups work and which don't. But if you call and it is eligible, yiu can order the kit on the phone with them right then.

@@VailAvenue I haven't bought the gun online yet so no Serial number

You have to call Ruger on the phone and give them your serial number. They do not publish this on thier site as an option.

I don't know. It comes in the kit from Ruger.

@@VailAvenue ok I purchased mines from Boyd's but I already installed it.. idk how to explain how I did it but it wasn't that bad I did it by hand

It was a while actually. Probably a month.

@@VailAvenue damn that’s a bummer lmao definitely not what I was hoping to hear 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

@@therealestoutdoors I got the feeling that they have to make sure they have what they need for production before they fulfill accessory orders. Maybe it will be faster.

@@VailAvenue one can only hope lol

Ordered mine Thursday morning. It arrived the following Wednesday….. 6 days! 👍🏻

Yep, perfect

Yes, as mentioned in the video, you have to call Ruger and give them your serial number to see if is a candidate for conversion.

Ruger mags you can get on the ruger website. I much prefer Magpul AICS mags which you can get from any Magpul dealer

You need to call Ruger customer service directly. No links online for the AICS magazine conversion kit. Have your serial number ready they will ask for it. They will also say that you need a notched bolt for the AI conversion to work but the smooth bolts work fine. Telephone: 336-949-5200

It's in the video. You have to call Ruger and give them your serial number to see if your rifle is eligible for conversion.

Does the magpul hunter stock come with everything needed use aics mags without having to contact ruger for the conversion kit? Thanks

I have 5 and 10 rounders. They make both.

Haha. Well these came from a hospital where they use them for everything, but I've been told they sell them at Costco as dog pee pads. So yes I guess. Great for keeping solvents and oil off your bench.
