AR Magazine Conversion Round #234

[Dr Honda]

...... Why would anyone spend money on an inexpensive rifle? 1. Because they can. 2.The answer may be found in the after market industry of the Ruger 10/22. That model rifle certainly isn't an expensive rifle, and look what happened there. Granted, kind'a apples and oranges. Fact is.... initially someone took a chance.

I think the folks at Boyd's are good people, but they haven't convinced me with their reasons/excuses for not getting into an after market product (an OEM replacement) for the Axis.

Agreed.

Sure... if you start to price out all the "Aftermarket" parts to turn an Axis into an 11/111 you will be into it for more money for sure. BUT... (with the economy down) people can buy an inexpensive rifle, and upgrade easier, than throwing $600 at a gun shop, at one time for the "Better" rifles. Besides... how many $600 rifles do you see with upgrades?? Yup... lot's-O-them. So... if you plan on a barrel change, trigger work, and a new stock... it just makes sense to buy the $300 gun to start with.



FYI guys... I got my 223 Axis on Sunday. I'll see what can be done with an AR mag. (lol)
