He had a problem with a cocking indicator one time. He had never seen it and was going bananas over the whole idea. He caught all kinds of grief from other posters. It was much like this post where there was some misinformation going around. It was an issue due to the fact he was making bolt lift kits for free and passing them out to everyone(on his dime and out of his pocket). Some he sent out to unknowing request that they don't work with a cocking indicator bolt without some additional mods.

As for the stocks the problem is more with savage making too many changes for the aftermarket to keep up. The lug is never an issue on an aftermarket stock. One of the issues is everybody wants a perfect fit every time all the time. With the variations that savage has, a Dremel is not only your friend but is a required tool. Making mods on the fly is what Savage owners have come to enjoy.

AR-15's are all of the same design and most everything is mil spec so if you make it to fit a S&W it will fit a Rock River. Bolt action rifles are different from manufacturer to manufacturer. If you have never been in business you may not realize that profits need to be as close to a sure thing as possible in a successful business plan. It has only been recently that the axis has garnished a following that was interested in upgrading the stock. At least that is the way I see it.
