Simple question. Is the bolt release lever on the "right side" of the left hand action like the right hand action?
I've got a Model 12 (Accu trigger) single shot left hand action and the release lever in on the right side.
Had a left hand action stock cut and it's cut for the bolt release lever on the left side???
"My Call!" As my son-in-laws says, "Why is it so dark in here, and what's that smell?" Some stock maker has their head "up"!

The stock that I waited 4 months to get came wrong in more than one way.
Ordered a right hand thumbhole and got a lefthand thumbhole. Wanted it cut for a left hand action and that was a$$ backwards also. Some folks just don't get it and could care less. ::) Thanks guys for the clarification. Much appreciated, Mike.
I CAN NOT figure out why Richards Micro-Fit is still around! :o
It's their "style selection and price". Maybe a couple of hundred $$ less than anybody else. Know ahead of time that the stock will need sanding and fitting and it's a good deal.
the cnc operator "mirrored" the cut and it reversed everything.
You are giving them too much credit, they don't have "cnc" machines, they have "cmc" machines.Quote:

Too bad they have no idea what they were doing.
Norcal. I would have thought your search on here would have swayed you away from Richards stocks and sent you to Joel Russo or SSS.Richards does inlet but for what I don't know mine was for something other than a Savage so I sent it back and received a full refund and then posted about it.
I waited just over 4 months for a stock I did not even recognize from what I had ordered,only thing that was right was the color.
If you are a woodworker with the tools to do it then by all means buy from them,if not spend the extra and go full custom.
Froggy: First off, the problem in all in the past. I plan on moving forward with another stock. Not sure where or who it will come from but I'am working on at present.
I have one of the "first" A5L stocks that Jeol Russo made in "San Fransisco Camo" so I know what he can do and the quality of his products. And I might add, he's a "real good" man to deal with. At present he's checking to see if he has a program close to what I'am loking for in the style I want.
As far a Richard's Microfit stocks, I've had 6 so far. Some better than others.
And like I've mentioned before, they're getting better all the time. I know full well what to expect as far as fit and finish so I'am not going at it blind. Fitting the action, adding pillars and doing the finish work is part of the fun of "building" a custom rifle.
And as far as doing a "search" concerning Richard's Microfit, more than likely my name will come up more then any other. ;)
If you don't mind doing some work on the stock you recieve from Richard's Microfit, they're a good deal for the price and the selection of styles they have available. And the wait can be much shorter that some of the other stock makers. You get what you pay for. ;)
One of the best fit and finish stocks that I've ever owned was one from Boyds for my M1A. Looked like a fine piece of furniture! Too bad they don't have "bench rest" designs available. I'd be all over them. ;D
The reason I posted the question about the "left hand action" is the only "lefty" I own is the Model 12 and I wanted to know if any of the other "left hand actions" were different. Now I know and when Richard's Microfit cut the inlet they made a mistake.
My first impression of Richard's Microfit was thay had no idea as to what they were doing besides being color blind. I ordered a stock in Blue and it came green. Sold it the next day!
I'am not a "rookie" at rifle building and I know things happen to slow down a build. Mistakes happen and I'am moving forward. 8)
