Boyd's stock on model 12 flat topcoat

[Orange_Crush]

I asked Boyd's if they made their thumb hole stock for the older model 12 flat top (pre - accutrigger ) and they said no.

Has anyone here installed a Boyd's stock on an older model 12? If so, what mods did you have to make?

I have Boyd's on a couple of staggard feed flat receivers.Call back and ask if they still have the ones for 4.25 screw spacing- staggard feed.

Thanks - doing that right now!

My model 12 flat back is chambered in .22-250. I always thought it was a short action but the center to center distance on the stock mounting holes seems to be 5"

[rjtfroggy]

If that is the case, and it could be if it is older, then you need a long action stagger feed stock.

Try stockys if you cant get what you want from them.

Thanks Jon Bearman - Stocky's is a little expensive considering I only paid $50 for the rifle :)

hey - thanks Stangfish - I think it would! I might have to hog out the barrel channel a bit but I would be up for that! Thank you!
