Boyd's tacticool stock

[Rlbol]

I just received an email from midway that they have the unfinished mark 2 stocks, in stock.
I have been having a hard time locating one in stock. If anyone is looking for one it shows them as in stock after I purchased mine.

I bought the finished stock from Boyd's along with with the bottom metal and metal trigger guard, to replace the plastic stock on my FV-SR. PROBLEM - The action screws from the FV are too short, and no rear wood screw for the trigger guard.

Anyone know the Savage part #'s, or where to buy these 3 screws otherwise?

[Rob Rat]

Well, I can tell you what screws they are NOT! (Thanks to the IDIOT at Savage parts) ETA - evidently not his fault.

I asked specificly for the stock screws for a Mark II TRR-SR. He asked me for sn, to which i replied- -the serial # won't get you the right part #, because I have a FV-SR rifle, and am installing an TRR-SR stock on it, and need the longer screws for a TRR-SR stock. "Oh, OK" Charged the card for $10 for 3 screws (1 rear wood screw PN: 703347, and 2 action screws PN: 100264)


Well, got the screws today, turns out I got screwed! The are the same *&&*^%$%^^% screws that I have for the FV stock - too short for the TRR stock. GGGGRRRRR!


Can someone who owns a TRR go to this link, and punch in your serial # and see what part # they give you for the front triggerguard screw, and front action screw?

I came up with 703347 for the action & 100264 for the triggergard

Thanks for checking.

Interesting. I did some web searching, and it seems that some people have this issue with short screws, and some do not - I'm just lucky that way I guess!

I did find that Dip Inc: http://www.diproductsinc.com/Products.aspx?CAT=3602 Sells bottom metal, trigger guards, and a 1" long screw set for the Savage Mark II. I ordered the 1" long Screw Set, as the screws on my FV, and the ones from Savage were 3/4" long, and 1" should get me where i want to be.

Boyds sell the trigger guard and bottom metal and when you look at the details for those items, they explain that you need to buy the screws at a local hardware store or from Savage. My MK II FV doesn't have a trigger guard so I had to look at these items and that's how I learned that I needed new screws....

How much would it cost Boyds to add a couple screws of different lengths???

[Rob Rat]

I think they must be a rare thread, as the 1" screws coming from DIP are Torx head, not Allen. Again, looking at various threads on the web, you may not need the longer screws. Maybe the bushing at the bottom of the action that the screws thread into are different or something. You can get every thing from DIP, since they also sell the bottom metal and trigger guards.

I'm looking forward to bedding the action into the stock and posting some pictures once I get the screws. The short barrel, with a suppressor threaded on it with the TRR stock looks good so far.

I may buy one, and try to convert it to left handed. Do you guys think it will be too difficult?

That's basically my FV-SR setup.
