The only thing that prevents the Accustock models from fitting is that recoil lug. And even that could be milled out of the aftermarket stock.
I really don't know why Boyds and Stockys don't offer that as an option. The could charge $25 for a 15 second job and service a greater part of the market.
I thought the accustock lug was smaller...If it is smaller couldn't it be made to fit with a dab of bedding compound?
And couldn't you also fix it with a $25 after market recoil lug?
Honest questions on my part.
Ratfink you are correct. There are other issues though. Like if it is a side or bottom bolt release. The bottom release has a wider trigger guard and the release may need some clearance work. It gets more complicated if you are swapping the other way.
Here is the two recoil lugs

The $25 recoil lug also needs barrel wrenches, go - no go gages and for some people a gun smith.
So with their computer controlled milling machines they could designate some stocks for Accustock use, make a higher profit and serve more people.
They are doing that now by letting us choose what butt pad to install, and Boyd's has a whole bunch of other options. Now that Savage is pretty much gone to the center-feed, bottom magazine and botton boly release near the trigger guard, the stock makers are going that way too.
Of course this also brings to question why no stocks for the Axis.
Gotcha! I do see how they could offer it as on option but folks who spend for the accustock tend to want to keep it. So I am not sure enough people would pay the bit extra to make it worth their while, especially with other options for folks to swap to another stock from an Accustock.
Now the bolt release, I think Savage will go more and more to the bottom and hopefully the aftermarket with adjust fire.
Is there a stainless steel trigger guard available for the bottom bolt style bolt release.

I think the Bear Hunter has stainless:

I wonder how you could get a part number, since savage won't sell you one without one.

Brasse, Are you saying that the accustock recoil lug does not fit in the laminated stocks provided by the distributors you mentioned?
Savage web site is shut down for 2 weeks. So even with a part number can't find out
Have you had this issue or is it a perceived problem? I never had an issue with the accu-lug going right in the boyds stock. Its outside dimensions are smaller than a standard lug. It drops right in.
All weather warrior(newer models) trigger gaurds are stainless and bottom bolt release.Quote:

If you did I would take back all those bad thing I said about you, and stop from spreading new ones.:rofl:Quote:

That seems like a "easyish" job to fix on a laminate for someone with limited skills such as mine.... Just be sure to get the right action spacing and your are basically sorted right?
You are correct. The Sky is not falling and the trigger guard slot needs about .025 per side removed.
Actually this entire thread was in response to all the negative posts on Accustock replacement stocks. Everything is ALWAYS, YOU CAN'T DO THIS, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. I have been long range looking at replacing my Accustock, nearly everything I was looking at would work, except one stock that is listed as Savage and Remington but "unfortunately" isn't available for the Savage.
thomae and stangfish love to stir the pot. Hook line and sinker.
I put the bigger lug in on my accustock. I milled it out and put some bedding compound on each side to get a good fit

Sorry to hijack.....I've got a Model 16 international Hunter XP that I would like to swap polymer trigger guard for stainless. Under my serial number only shows polymer part. Where does one get a stainless version w/o serial number?Quote:

7.62nato; Try 105897 for a stainless trigger guard. Not sure if that is the bottom bolt release (probably) or regular, call Savage to find out. You did not say side or bottom bolt release?
BThrr, that is using your noodle. So many people bad mouth the stock plastic stock; the Accustock gets taken down at the same time. There are probably a lot of Accustocks out there that could be great upgrades. A lot of people don't want to take off the barrel themselves, but you did a little milling in plastic. Dremel? And photos?
Sorry, I thought the International hunter XP was new for 2012 so I did not specify but it is bottom release. Thanks, I will try the number for a stainless trigger guard.
Somethings fishy. You actually stated that it would not fit and showed photographic proof...proof of a poor observation. We all have done it. Even scope eye has done it. We all laghed and moved on. Heck. I stick my foot in my mouth all the time. Thomae won't let me forget. Its all good brother I just had to call Bovine fecal matter. LOLQuote:

Actually a lot of good info came out of this thread.
It comes down the stock sellers not sticking their arse out. Better info from their sites would lead to more sales. They are doing much better, their sites are much improved, and they are offering more products.
During the early 2013 gun shortage, it was observed that Savage would be sold out, while the cheaper Remington and Mossberg would sit in the display. Axis was sold out at a lot of stores.
So why isn't after market stock come out for the Axis?
He had a problem with a cocking indicator one time. He had never seen it and was going bananas over the whole idea. He caught all kinds of grief from other posters. It was much like this post where there was some misinformation going around. It was an issue due to the fact he was making bolt lift kits for free and passing them out to everyone(on his dime and out of his pocket). Some he sent out to unknowing request that they don't work with a cocking indicator bolt without some additional mods.
As for the stocks the problem is more with savage making too many changes for the aftermarket to keep up. The lug is never an issue on an aftermarket stock. One of the issues is everybody wants a perfect fit every time all the time. With the variations that savage has, a Dremel is not only your friend but is a required tool. Making mods on the fly is what Savage owners have come to enjoy.
AR-15's are all of the same design and most everything is mil spec so if you make it to fit a S&W it will fit a Rock River. Bolt action rifles are different from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you have never been in business you may not realize that profits need to be as close to a sure thing as possible in a successful business plan. It has only been recently that the axis has garnished a following that was interested in upgrading the stock. At least that is the way I see it.

You know what they say no good deed goes unpunished, I spent over $500.00 on that whole bolt lift thing, I was not going to let a couple of fill in blank______ wreck it for they others.
Dean
I know you wouldn't my brother. You're a good man. Now Brasse has got big shoes to fill.
LOL.
By the way, who has those .140 extractor detent balls?
McMaster Carr!:cool:
I do give me your GPS c ordinance and I will load them up in a hot load in my 12ga and see if they can make it from here. LOLQuote:
