Re: Before and after
It's nice of Altamont to include three grip screws of varying lengths. The original Ruger screw was just short, but the Altamont medium length was perfect.

Before and after
Just received those Altamont stocks I ordered a month or two back, and I am quite pleased with the fit and feel compared to the black plastic OEM stock on the Super Wrangler. Now if the wind will just lie down I 'll go shoot the thing. 8) https://i.postimg.cc/8F4ky61H/image-67204097-2.jpg https://i....
