Title: Ruger laminate
Post by: nwwanderer on November 04, 2016, 09:54:12 AM

I have recently acquired a ruger with green laminate stock.  Anything special for care and maintenance?  How is durability?  Any moisture issues?  Thanks

Just make sure you have the tang area relieved and glass bedded with heavy recoiling calibers. Had my 375 Ruger Guide Gun crack in tang area. Ruger replaced the stock at no charge. They didn't relieved the tang area and started to crack again. I had my local gunsmith fix the crack with glass bedding and relieved the wood around the tang. Been holding up sense.
