This stock arrived Jan 2021. It went together quite easily. Make sure you watch the Promag video on installation before you do anything. I had a little difficulty getting my barrel out of the rifle the first time I tried to remove the barrel prior to installation. I watched the video and it gave a good tip about using a hair dryer or a heat gun on the receiver and another tip on rocking the barrel out. It took an extra 10 minutes to find Wifey's hair dryer and heat up the receiver, but it came out fairly quickly after applying the two manufacturer's tips. Once I had the barrel out installation into the new stock only took a few minutes. The included instructions were easy to follow and not at all complicated.

The stock is almost everything that Promag says it is with one exception. The storage area under the butt plate. You are required to press two tabs inward to get it open. The tabs are so stiff that I could not get them to open the butt plate. I was frustrated for about 20 minutes trying to open the butt plate until I figured out how to use a small C-clamp and a 1/4 inch nut on the opposite side to press the tabs in and finally open the butt plate. It wasn't worth the effort and frustration. Their advertisement shows a couple of ear plugs and some fish hooks going into the storage area and I agree that they will fit, so I guess that is truth in advertising. I had planned to put a 22 caliber bore snake in it but I could not cram it in, as it would not fit. You might
