Ruger American® Rifle Generation II Disassembly Tech Tip

[@RCE]

Crazy how simple, yet effective a bolt action rifle is.

[@ntb9548]

Can you specifically say what brand ball end 3/16 allen key you’re using ? This is not easily done like it is in the video especially not with a scope on the rifle .

[@pauljay1328]

How are you meant to get any torque on the rear action screw

[@archsinner28]

For real. I tried and I’m stopping because I don’t want to damage it, very upset for the price to not be able to disassemble easily

[@jacobrichardson9031]

Yep, in the same boat now. Impossible to get an Allen key in there at the right angle.

[@JeffLunglhofer]

100% impossible. I've tried every possible solution, but the angle is too steep. Super irritating.

[@chrisowen5497]

Nice looking update. I hope that you do something similar for the rimfire version.

[@kyle0340]

How many inch pounds putting the stock back on?

[@richardchenoweth1804]

It’s my understanding that the bolt has to be in cocked position before removal-correct? The instructions state that the firing pin has to be cocked when reassembled…that’s not mentioned in your video.

[@metsnyc7797]

Will the Gen 1 stock fit the Gen 2 or any after market chassis like the Magpul one?? Thanks!

[@amberbailey19991]

will ruger be coming out with a left hand option

[@Lambert-hr7sm]

I would be very surprised if they didn’t make a left handed version sometime in 2024.

[@billsummy2412]

Hey Ruger , Please make a Bisley model of your Wrangler .22 I bet it would sell thank you !

[@foux6934]

Can i remove factory muzzle break from barrel down and change other muzzle break or silencer ? If yes what type of Thread Size on barrel is ?

[@Nave4x4]

You can, I think the thread size is calibre dependent.

[@rickigalvan6615]

Really would like to see a 22-250 model

[@walkerwyse1047]

As much as I love ruger the screw under the lever is not as easy to get out as he makes it look that is the absolute dumbest design of the generation should of left them like the 350 legend the 400 legend with the steel mag

[@Conky88]

It's annoying but you should only take the stock off once for trigger adjustment or when you change stocks. His method doesn't work when you first take it off because of how tight it is. The wrench doesn't get a good bite. But it does come with the jig you can use to take the mag latch off and put back on easily.

[@bryanschertz4233]

When will the 400 legend be released to public???

[@AA-fg3wj]

I tried to remove my stock to adjust the trigger pull but could not get my ball head allen T handle to fit in the receiver screw at the magazine release. What else can I do to remove the action screw ?????

[@tomgreco]

How do I remove the muzzle brake? I've tried putting it in a vise, and cranking on it, but it won't budge.

[@Saltwaterassassin]

Boiling water or propane torch

[@chrisb9478]

Will the Gen2 fit in Gen1 stocks? And aftermarket chassis stocks for gen1?

[@prfwrx2497]

Same action footprint. Same stock compatibility

[@chrisb9478]

@@prfwrx2497 Thanks, but how did you confirm this?

[@metsnyc7797]

Yes, I’m also curious about this?? Can anyone confirm this?? Thanks!

[@chrisb9478]

@@metsnyc7797 I did confirm this, I emailed Ruger customer service, they said Gen2 will fit Gen1 stocks. 👍🏻

[@slickbama8322]

Will gen 1 fit a gen 2 stock with new magwell?@@chrisb9478

[@Greenstrtjs87]

wow way easier than the gen 1 since you don’t have to remove the trigger and spring

[@deltazulu2848]

JFC Ruger dumbest idea ever with the rear action screw.

[@stetsonspurs4680]

#Lefthand models in both #RugerAmerican & #RugerAmericanRanch please, and don’t limit the caliber availability in lefties.

[@Actias1974]

Too bad it’s been a year and I still can’t get one in 270win

[@burdisdead]

Why is the bolt so sloppy???

[@SongDog_TV]

Please offer left handed gen 2’s already

[@johnparker9139]

That take down screws behind the magazine release was a great idea. Mine is a completely different size than the front screw. SMH Ruger

[@tristan2987]

Ruger shit the bed on the design of the screw placement and mag release

[@Reblwitoutacause]

You just need a ball end Allen key… not exactly hard to find tool

[@JeffLunglhofer]

@@Reblwitoutacause wrong. Still won't work, at least on mine.

[@SLFYSH]

Ruger make 5/8- 24 thread protectors for your rifles so people dont have to use brakes in .223, 243, 308 rifles. Ridiculously obnoxious.
