I ordered a new American in 300bo. While waiting for it to come someone traded in an older one. It was a first gen ranch. Looked pretty good and for 200 bucks I said what the heck. dealer said hed have no trouble selling the one I had coming. Well took it home and nothing but trouble feeding. It would only feed perfectly level on a bench. I called ruger and they sent me a new magazine. Didn't help a bit. I could have brought it back but didn't want to pass on a problem child to someone else so I called ruger again. they said if I paid 30 bucks shipping they would get it right. So I shipped it in. 6 days later I got an email saying that with my permission they would destroy that gun and send me a new ar15 mag model (the one I really wanted originally) for free. So I ended up getting a new gun for 230 bucks.
