Thread: Laminate replacement for AXIS - BOYDS

    FWIW, the new stocks are coming shipped with a red dot to duplicate the original safety marking.

    I ordered one stock as soon as they were available and it did not come with this. The one I ordered on 1/7 and arrived today, did have the safety marking.

If I were to try to contour the pillars to the action, I would probably not be able to get it exactly right and would likely add stress of one kind or another. I do have the means and ability to make a flat cutoff, however.


    YMMV.
    thomae is correct. Besides on the Axis, the rear pillar sets on a flat trigger housing right ? So you wouldn't radius the top of that pillar anyway.

    I have a 30" bull pac nor barrel 22-250 AI barrel id like to put on a 223 axis. Will a boyds stock handle this barrel if i sand out the barrel channel? anything else id have to do to the Boyds stock to make it fit properly?

    Other than a new bold head, magazine, and stock, is there anything im missing to do this conversion?

    You'll have to find a way to hold the butt stock down. It's going to be very muzzle heavy. Make sure that you get a model that you can drill out the butt stock to add weight.

    Ok that makes sense. Is there any information out there how to do that? what models do you think would work? maybe i should go with the Sharp Shooter Supply stock and spend the extra money for it?

    Just ordered myself a Boyd's Left Handed Thumb Hole stock in Nutmeg. I hope the turn around time on the order is pretty quick. It said it was in stock, so I'm hopeful that it will ship fairly soon. I don't know why, because the way the weather is going it will be July before I get to go to the range again anyway. But, at least I can work on my Axis and dream of an early warm Spring.

    Received my Left Hand TH in Nutmeg today. Not a bad turn around time. I ordered it on the 6th and got it on the 13th. Probably because I ordered it early before they ran out of stock. When I ordered mine it said they were "In Stock", and about an hour later they were out of stock.

    Long story short... Fits great, looks great, and I'm very happy with it. No fitting or trimming, or anything needed. Photos hopefully to follow soon. :)

    I ordered mine in 1-19. On 1-27 they said on here that all Axis stocks currently on order would ship that week. My status change that week, must still be waiting on the mailman.

    Just got my FT the other day, ordered on the 6th....like the stock but I'm disappointed with the finish of it, its a dull finish, looks like just one coat of a poly, not glossy at all.. Anyone else disappointed, and is there anything I can do the to "re-finish" or add additional coats of Poly, or anything else to brighten it up???

    I believe you can get flat or gloss in poly.

    finally got mine the other day and it was well worth the wait as it looks awesome and it went onto my action with no issues and plenty of threads on the scres for a nice tight fit !!!

    What do they mean when they (Boyds ) say 90 degree finished?

    I noticed today I had more money in the bank. The Boyd Gunstock charge isn't showing up anymore, did not ship yet. I ordered on the 13th, hasn't shipped yet.

    You think they canceled on me? I'm in CA if that makes a difference.

    Why don't you ask them? That way you don't have to wonder.
