Boyd's Savage 12FV Experiment
So I sent an e-mail off to Boyd's but thought I would post here and get yalls opinion as well...
So I have a Cabela's 12FV special in .308 on the way. I have this nutty idea of turning it into a project where I cut the barrel down and convert it to an external mag.
Now Boyd's has stocks for the 12 series, but the listing for a 12 short action with mag is for "Factory Barrel". The other blind mag models have selections for both "Bull" and "Factory".
I thought that by default the 12 *was* a bull barrel, or heavy varmint as they call it. Anyone know if there is a difference and what it is? I would imagine I could just sand it down if I had to...
And beyond that I assume I would just need some bottom metal and a flat style trigger guard to finish it off. I assume it does not have to be anything special or crazy to find parts?
Anybody tried this style conversion and not just slapped it in a AICS compatible stock?
Thanks for looking!
