Reply With QuoteNice! How does the bolt handle work for extracting fired cases? I see Glades Armory says they've had reports that it works, but it's evidently one of those theory vs. practice thing.
Here she is, axis 223 bull barrel, boyds pro varmint stock and glades armoury bolt handle. I had to sand a bunch out of the barrel channel to accommodate the bull barrel, any special paint i should use so its not raw wood under the barrel? Range day tomorrow, i cant wait.

I havent had any issues with it yet doc. I may try and get a machinist friend to cut and thread the old bolt handle just incase tho.
Probably depends on how hot the load is. lolOriginally Posted by DrThunder88
What scope base and rings do you have on there?
I am doing a build off of an axis and wanted to ask about your stock.
You mention a bull barrel, what is the diameter of the barrel? I am looking at a 1" bull barrel from Shilen, and had my doubts about whether the Pro Varmint stock would have enough room to hollow out for a true 1" barrel. At the moment, I have found a company (MDT) making a chassis for the Axis, but I am still debating the chassis versus true stock. I have not had any luck getting an answer from Boyd's on the matter, so figured I would drop a note here.
Thanks.
It does. I've opened up almost all of Pro Varmint and Tacticools for varmint barrels (~0.8-0.9" at the muzzle), and there is plenty of real estate on the top rails to go all the way up to 1" and still be generously free floated.
Great, thanks DrThunder.
