Re: fitting a boyds stock...
You said "fixed" blind mag, so I will guess that means attached to the action.If that is the case it should drop right in with little to no fitting.
Re: fitting a boyds stock...
It is easy to do if you have to. I would not worry about fitting it because a dremel toll with a mill bit will do a great job if needed. I just did some work on a Stockys laminate. I was able to dremel out the entire mag area for placing my detachable box mag and metal in it. It is not as good looking as a professionals work but it does work.
Re: fitting a boyds stock...
thanks for your replies.
by fixed, i meant to say that the magazine is attached to the stock (internal box) and the action drops into it.
looking at the picture on boyd's website, the area where the mag goes is already opened up. what it needs is to have the mag secured in place. they mention that "woodworking gunsmithing experience is suggested when converting to the 3rd generation guns".
i just don't want to hose up a nice walnut stock.
