Who Wants A wood Stock for There Edge/Axis

[ptisd335]

If you want a wood stock for your Edge/Axis please post your name here I would like to see how many people like wood stocks. also email Boyd's asking them to make a stock maybe if enough of us as they will make a stock for the EDGE/AXIS.

And you think it's that easy?

Boyds has a special place to request specialty stocks. It is easy to do that part. If bunches of people did that, Boyds would probably pay attention and add the Edge to their production. It's all about money.

Do you really think they could offer a wood stock, laminated or otherwise for $100? Let's get realistic...most of their stocks for the 10-110 rifles are more than that, and they are a straight forward inlet. The materials alone cost about $40.00.
If you study the Axis stock, it also incorporates the trigger guard and the magazine retention system. To build a wood stock it would also need some hardware to complete it, whether metal or even plastic. You could use a standard trigger guard, but it would still need a magazine frame to utilize the DBM. There would have to be 2 versions of a magazine frame, a short and a long version. Currently Savage does not make anything that is compatible with the Edge/Axis rifles. Boyds do stocks, not hardware, and if they did, the stock would cost more than the rifle.
If all you wanted was a stock for a single shot version, the wood itself is not a problem, but the lack of demand is.

Yes, it's all about the money. If they can't make any, they won't consider it. It would take a very large order to get their attention.

I do plan on making stocks myself for the Savage Edge. How I will fit the magazine is yet to be determined, but I'm sure I'll find a way. I'll let you know when I start the project.

no one said it would be easy i just wanted to see how many people want a wood stock and then tell the to email or fill out the request for the stock at Boyd's easy no i don't think any thing is easy.

Isn't the recoil lug on the Axis made into the stock? If so that seems like it would make it difficult to mass produce an inexpensive wood stock. I know that the two Boyds stocks I have bought both needed to be fitted to my action. I don't know just a thought I had.

[sharpshooter]

I never said it couldn't be done... it just can't be done cheap.

[bobfortier]

I don't have my Savage Edge with me just yet. Is it possible to remove the recoil lug from the plastic stock ? Because if one makes a groove that fits the recoil lug, the buyer just has to swap the recoil lug into the wood stock.

+1 for a wood stock. To be honest, I'm suprised no one's made one yet.... *sitrs pot*

[bobfortier]

I just got my Edge today in 223. This thing is nice, but the stock is too soft for my needs. I,ll be making wood stock for this over the winter.

[RICK JAMES 888]

Yep ill have one!

[RWCshooter]

Yeah, put me down for one as well, Like they say "Nothing ventured, nothing ventured".... :P, hehe...

[bobfortier]

I started working on drawings yesterday, this will take a couple of months before I'm done

[jlang11]

You can add me to the list... I have a .223.

[bobfortier]

I talked to the owner of this site, and I cannot advertise those stocks here. I'm not a real business, just a regular guy who enjoy guns and woodwork, and also I'm in Canada, so sending a "firearm part" down south could put me in trouble.

However when I start the project I'll put some pics here for your interest.

[talvey]

I would defiantly
like a different stock for my 223

[josebd]

i bought one for a model 11 it was 92.00 plus freight from boyds.put me down for one to!

[Garpo]

I would consider one.
OP, have you looked into the legalities of shipping a rifle stock from Canada to the US? Hard to believe that shipping something that doesn’t make a firearm go boom would be restricted. But nowadays, nothing surprises me. ::)

[forcon]

I''d buy one for sure if they became available.
