Gen1- Gen2, how to tell the difference? Purchased synthetic stock w/ adj. comb. My barreled action does not mate with the new stock. Preasure gauge seems to be correct, but the trigger group is a no go.

The gen 2 has a shorter trigger frame than the gen 1. You probably have a gen 1 Mrod and it won't fit the gen 2 stock. The gen 2 also has the adjustable comb where as the gen 1 doesn't.
They also have different sears, but that isn't your issue.

You definitely have a Gen 1 gun . . . it's still a great gun, but the synthetic stock won't fit it. I have three Marauders; all are Gen 1.
The trigger group was changed for Gen 2 to reposition it on the tube to accommodate the new stock. I'll admit that the ergonomics of the Gen 2 are better in this regard, but I think the Gen 1 trigger group was better (although the Gen 2 is still very good). There were other changes too, so of which made it better (like being able to make the bolt a lefty, if that matters to you), and some of which were more in the cost reduction camp and thus mostly did not make it better.

If your rifle looks like this, it is a Gen 1:
I have both Gen 1 and Gen 2 rifles in .25 and prefer the Gen 2.

The Gen 1 never had a synthetic stock option. I do not know of a lightweight stock alternative for the Gen 1.
