Anyone got a Ruger American 300 AAC/Blackout w/ 10 shot mag?

The only thing that disappointed was actually the ar magazine, they don't leave much room for the super long heavy bullets without mashing powder and leaving a ring from the seating stem. So far CFE blk has worked the best with the 225eldm's producing really low es for sub sonics. The supersonics shoot fairly well, inside of 1.5moa at 100y, but haven't worked up a load for it just random supers from other guns.
 
I was very pleasantly surprised at the accuracy with the lighter weight bullets, 90 and 110 grain! Thought I had missed
the target when sighting in, walked out to the target and they where all touching in the black.
The monster bolt is not so smooth but the light weight overall, the short length and the AR magazines make this a keeper.

I have had 2. I owned one of the originals and it shot better than I could. I loved it with my Griffin suppressor but I did not like the mag. Ruger even replaced the mag and that one would let me load 3 rounds and fire them with no problems but if I put 4 rounds in I had a 50 50 chance of a failure to feed and 5 rounds just forget it. I finally purchased a new one just a few months ago with the AR style of mag and so far its feeding my 230 grain powder coated cast bullets and my 153 grain powder coated cast bullets. Same great accuracy.

I gave a young guy a deal on my old rifle for 250$ and he knew about the mag issues. He was happy. I love the Ruger American in 300 Blackout, I do not hunt I just like to swing steel and am getting into some target shooting now.

I load the same 153 grain bullet as a subsonic as I do for the supersonic and its a tack driver and so quiet, I listen to talk radio as I am shooting and the only thing my Wife hears is the steel.
 
Can you interchange stocks between the 2 ruger American 300 blkout rifles? Meaning will the older style ranch rifle work with the new AR mag stock? If so I wouldn’t mind swapping stocks out
