yes they do as I have got one. Stock is shortened by about an inch(?) I am fairly short with arms to suit so that is why I have gone this way

im looking at buying a youth axis 223 for my son to start deer hunting with but I am wondering what is the difference between the youth axis and the adult axis other than the youth model having a 20" barrel and the full size having a 22" barrel, is there a difference in the stocks? basically im wondering if it is possible to convert the youth model into a full size model when he gets older and out grows the youth size gun, any info would be great thanks

Yep, stock and barrel are both shorter. Action, trigger, and magazines are all the same.
Lot of room to grow with them. I used a 7mm-08 youth as the base for my 308 build.
get him a 25-06 or 243 min.. so he has more more to grow into it. They barley kick at all..
A .223 is a perfectly capable deer cartridge with proper bullets and shot placement. It will teach him to make his shots count and the non-existant recoil will ensure he doesn't develop a flinch. Buy any .223 Axis (new or used, adult or youth) and put a Boyd's youth stock on it. They recently added youth stocks to their lineup for the Axis. He won't outgrow the .223. I'm 25 and I just bought a .223 Axis stainless about a month ago.
My nephew has a .243 Youth Axis it's very accurate and mild recoiling.
I have an axis youth and a full size the stock is 2" shorter
Thanks!
Yep. I opened it up with using sockets wrapped in sandpaper. Super simple. It just takes patience and a little time.
