Short action vanguard synthetic 223! Which Stock the new one of the old one? I haven't shot it yet, Im misssing my bolt and new trigger but the old stock along the upper section uneven and missalign (looked like s***t). Synthetic stock was 2 lbs 2.6 oz (981grams) and new stock is 2 lbs 4.8 oz (1 klg 43grams). No modification required, full dropin fit and the safety works. I'll post pics later after wenesday range trip
