Accustock compatibility

[blfuller]

I was wondering on the compatibility of a Savage Accu-Stock that was originally for a short action Model 10 Precision Carbine in .308. This stock has the 4.40" spacing and is cut for the detachable box magazine. The Precision Carbine had the bottom bolt release and was the type of Accu-Stock that had the wedge type of block to grab onto the recoil lug. I thought that this would pretty much be compatible with any short action with the 4.40" receiver screw spacing be it with or without side bolt release. The only thing you would need to do is replace the trigger guard if you had a side bolt release. Are there differences in the recoil lug between an Accu-Stock and a standard stock barreled action? Pic shows the inside of the stock and the clamp for the recoil lug. Any knowledge on compatibility would be appreciated.

On edit, disregard, I don't know.

I also have a short action dbm bottom bolt release accustock. Yes the recoil lug is different so you can't put a standard recoil lug into an accustock. You can easily web search for pictures and differences I really don't want to take my rifles out of their stocks and screw around with them. Look at the below thred.

Despite the corny names, I think the accustock is a winner along with the accufit and accutrigger. The forearm is plenty stiff and you don't need to bed the action. And I've never pillar bedded and you don't have to worry about that either.

Just me.

The pictured Accustock would fit any SA (4.40”) Savage Action with bottom bolt release. You would have to swap out standard Savage recoil lug to an Accustock recoil lug. A top bolt release Savage SA would not fit unless you Dremel out a slot for the top bolt release sear arm. I would just remove the earlier Accustock wedge.

Thanks for the replies. I was not aware of the two different recoil lugs or the necessity of relieving the stock for the side bolt release. I thought that the flat on the side of the side bolt release receiver might allow the clearance for the bolt release lever since the bottom bolt release did not have the flat and was fully round. Thanks again for the clarification.

JP is right. It is no big deal but assemble it and check. Clearance as needed. The bolt release/sear can not have its motion impeded with any drag or contact with the stock. If it is not free to move unimpeded, you may have primer ignition issues.

I once modified an Accustock to fit a top bolt release action. I used the tapered end of a rat tailed file to relieve the inside of the stock. There are better tools to do this with but it's what I had on hand and it got the job done. As stated above, just be sure there is no interference with the moving parts.
