Wish it came with a castle nut and plate but it wasn't advertised as included. Good stuff from Spikes as usual.

I bought the Heatseeker Chassis from Sharps for my Ruger American Ranch in 300 blackout. Love it - so much that I'm gathering funds to get one for the 556 Ranch I have. This review is for the grip and handguards though. They are all very well made too, the only issue I had was that one side of the grip inserts was very much a different color then the other side of the grip. The outlier was more of a dark walnut, while the other side of the grip and handguard panels were a rich, red, deep cherry. All beautiful pieces, just one was a different color. I'm waiting on a stock for the chassis before I put it all together but I will likely only use the grip since the color variation is not as noticable without the handguard rails installed. I will absolutely be putting the rails on something else or maybe staining the one grip insert so everything matches up to my personal taste. All that being said I couldn't ding the review too hard because I reached out to Sharps Brothers directly thinking it was a manufacturing issue and had a reply from John Sharps himself within the hour. He mentioned that variation in grain and color is to be expected. Grain I am fine with but the color was just too 'off' for me personally to go on what otherwise is a work of art. What I do appreciate is the customer service and attention. It's a quality US company that I am proud to support.
