Boyds Gunstocks now Available for the Savage B.MAG

danjurista · 01-27-2014, 09:47 PM

I got my boyds stock today a classic in nutmeg, took a while to get the safety to work. May have to add a small washer ontop of the rear escutcheon to gain a little clearance so the safety work a little better. got it all together and it look great. Went to put the mag back in and it wood not latch, I going to contact boyds about it, it looks like you would have to open up the mag well to get it to latch? Has anyone else run into any problems with there mag after restocking the b-mag?

Exact same issue with my thumbhole tonight...backed off the back screw until safety worked. so I will have to either use a shorter screw or washers to be able to tighten the screw.
My mag has to be pushed in real stout to get it to work but it never clicks like it should. Will have to see if anything can be done to fix this small issue.
Other than these minor adjustments the stock looks good until you look at it from the left side of the receiver where there is a viewable gap that really bugs me. I need to look at this also to see if this can be fixed because if not I'm going to have to send it back.

Overall this gun is just one big pain !

And it just got worse...after getting it all together and admiring how nice the whole gun was now that it was feeling like a real gun I look down the gun and see a zillion little cracks in the finish of the stock. not visible in any other direction but when you look at it from an angle from the rear.

You are right. Now wait for the bolt and trigger problems. It is just a matter of time.

What does Boyd's recommend for the action screw/safety fitment issues ?

**scope eye** · 01-28-2014, 10:59 AM

Thanks for stepping up Boyds, Mine looks great but it is good to know you would have stepped up, if I would have had a problem.

Any questions just send a PM!

Thanks for looking into issues, Jen.

My stock is going to be replaced by boyds' at no cost to me. I have to say that if I did not look at the stock in bright light and at the correct angle to make small finish cracks visible, you would not notice the problem right off. I installed my rifle and never noticed it till later on which understandable to me why it got thru and shipped out. The stocks are beautiful guys and this little glitch should be no reflection on them at all. Great company to deal with for sure!

danjurista · 01-30-2014, 06:24 PM

Called boyds today and talked to jen about my magazine issue. She took my information and said a tech would give me a call today. Its now 5:30 and have not heard from anyone! I'll be calling again in the morning.

sales@boydsgunstocks · 01-30-2014, 06:32 PM

I apologize that the tech did not get back to you today, I am sure there is good reason. We take customer service very seriously and I will personally follow up with this promptly in the morning!

I can say Jen means what she tells you...my new stock shipped today and I'm extremely happy with Boyds' customer service with an extremely fast and pleasant process. I will continue to support them and I can't wait to upgrade a handi rifle I have with a new thumbhole stock and forend.

I got my thumbhole stock in today. I was very disappointed to put my gun together and find that it as crooked sitting in the new stock as the old one.
I am starting to wonder if savage has mount jigs that are off a degree or two.
Being in Canada I can forget about sending this gun gun home for a visit it will take months to get back.

Still waiting on my stock that I ordered on 1/9.....geez. Now UPS is delayed delivery because of bad weather earlier in the week.

You should have bought the trigger guard & floor plate/bottom metal from DIP.

They have an online website. For future reference you can go there, place your order, pay for it, and low and behold it shows up in the mail in under a week.

So whats wrong with the Boyds trigger guard and floor plate ?

With the DIP products you get a much better quality material and product for a few bucks more. IMO.

The Boyds gives you OE Savage which is OK. DIP gives you a slightly larger trigger guard opening, nice for shooting with gloves & it has an adjustable over travel screw. The bottom metal is approx .125" thick which is nice for spreading the load of the torque to the action screws. The Savage stuff works, DIP is just better. You aren't wrong, you didn't make a bad choice, there is just a better choice.
