Boyds Axis stock

[Hi-wall]

They are getting faster to deliver. I ordered a classic hunter Monday a week ago and it will be here friday. Now, to order a Tacticool

[sales@boydsgunstocks]

Hi-wall - first I would like to thank you for the positive post and thank you for your recent purchase as well!! Just an update for everyone - lead time will now be our normal/standard for all Axis stocks! If it is In-Stock it will ship in 1-2 business days, Out-of-Stock will ship in 1-2 weeks from date of order. No more 4+ week lead times!!

Best Regards ~ Jen

Yesterday when I called about status of my order I was told "about 4 weeks" for the 2 Axis stocks I ordered. The day I ordered the stocks (Feb. 27) a guy on the phone tells me "within 2 weeks"...

I guess maybe I'll add 'em all up, take an average, shake the chicken bones, see if the wooley caterpillars are nesting early & hope I see my stocks before I'm too old to use them.

I would be happy to look into the status of your order - could you please PM with a name and order number. I apologize for the confusing information you seem to be receiving!

Jen - what's the lead time on custom orders? (I.e. Claro XX Walnut with checkering and Rosewood grip cap and forend tip.) I didn't see mention of lead time for the customs on the custom option page.

Also, have you stopped offering left-hand stocks for short-action staggered-feed rifles with a blind magazine (4.275" screw spacing) or did they simply get overlooked in the menu updates? I looked through all the model options (10/11/12/16 Top Bolt Release) but every action option is for either blind centerfeed or detachable box magazine.

No sweat.
I'm sure I'll be happy with them. It's just the anticipation is KILLING me.

[sales@boydsgunstocks]

Typical lead time on any custom order is 7 - 14 business days. As far as the left hand stock for a 10/12/14/16 - we only offer a left hand stock/right hand action model for a blind mag - staggered feed at this time. No true left hand models :-(

[fgw_in_fla]

Jen - check your PM's.

HAHA,with age comes patience grasshopper.

[fgw_in_fla]

Patience?
Isn't that what they call people in a doctor's office?

And at my age patience is all I have left.
I think.

Don't forget, my birthday's at the end of this month. I like expensive gifts.
Make it an extra special gift, too. This is the last year I'll be in my 50's...

At my age I don't have time for patience. It is my last year in the 50's also. On a lighter note I received my stock today. Off to the range tomorrow

My last year in my 40s ends beginning of next month..but remember 60 is the new 50 Frank,If I hurry I can run out bottle up some snow to send,maybe remind you of your Northern youth...

[fgw_in_fla]

We'll expect a full report.
I won't see mine until mid week, next week.

Weather & snow storms notwithstanding, of course.

You're all heart. Just what I've always wanted. Snow...
It'll help remind me why I left NY so many years ago & never looked back.
And as for that 60 is the new 50 stuff, I'm not buying it. 60 sucks. I wake up every morning wondering what's going to hurt next.
Just might be from all of that good clean living I did back in the late 60's and 70's....

Man, wouldn't I love to take you up on the offer, Jim. That could be the BBQ of the century.
If I do come out, you think we can take a run over to my birthplace?
Norton AFB in San Bernadino. How far is that from your spread?

Was looking at the Boyd's website last night planning on ordering a stock for my LH .223, lo & behold they added two new designs - a "Heritage' & a "Platinum". Anyone have an idea what the "Heritage" is as they didn't provide any description. Also, does anyone know the difference between the standard pattern & the 90 degree? They show it in hte wood type section but offer no description.

[fgw_in_fla]

Thanks for the info.
Just what I need to do. Spend more money on gun stuff. My 'ol lady's threatening to suffocate me with a pillow in my sleep now. Especially after she found out I just bought 2 more spam cans of 5.45x39 mil-surp ammo. I tried to explain that tensions in Russia & Ukraine were driving prices up.
She mention something about driving the car up someplace. I didn't catch all of it....

Boyd's has posted the info on the Heritage & Platinum stocks. Basically they changed the fore ends a bit to allow for some custom laser work

I forgot to ask Boyd's or some of y'all here about what kind of recoil pad can I expect on these new Axis stocks I'll be receiving tomorrow.
Will I need to duct tape a bath towel to my shoulder or are they tolerable? On a scale of 1 to 10 - 10 being soft like a puffy cloud and 1 (one) being like hardened steel with spikes pointed out of it, what are they like?



edit - I just looked at their website and noticed a "Boyd's 1/2" rubber recoil pad" included. Just wondering if it's rubber- as in soft or rubber- as in rock hard typically used to make golf balls....

[Ibex]

Frank,
In my limited experience of 2... golf ball.

[fgw_in_fla]

Guess I'll get the duct tape and an old towel out....

Ordered a Prairie Hunter Sunday evening, it was shipped yesterday & is scheduled to arrive Friday. I know what my plans for Friday are now!
