I assume that these are the same as Savage Model 10 trigger guards. However, I cannot locate a metal one in black finish. Everywhere I looked is out-of-stock. The $12 ones shown on Boyds' site just say "black" and do not say if they are metal or the junk plastic ones.
here's the part link, i ordered one with my stock and they are metal: http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/Produc...d--matte-black

Its metal, ordered one with my stock. The stock also shipped with a plastic one installed.
Thanks.
I just ordered one after confirming over the phone that the shipping would "only" be $9.00 instead of $20.88 as shown during checkout.
I'm glad you spoke to someone who was more sensible about shipping. The website still wants to charge me almost $17 for shipping one trigger guard.
the black axis trigger guard is metal alrighty. installed the axis hb action/barrel into a boyds varmint thumbhole yesterday and had issues with the timney trigger i had previously installed. required a bit of wood inletting at the front and rear of stock's trigger opening, and cutting down the trigger guard's wood screw by 1/8". also, the trigger guard's front inside base area needed to be ground down with a dremel abrasive wheel to allow a tad more room for the trigger set screw. all's well that ends well ... just awaiting the witt brake.
Good point about the Timney trigger. I ran into the set screw clearance problem too and wound up drilling a shallow impression for it.
good to know, my Timney will be here tomorrow.Quote:
