Boyd's Stocks

[JeffreyDeGraff]

I’m about to get a Boyd’s stock for my M1917 enfield I’m working on. If all goes well I’m going to get another for my 98 Mauser 220 Swift. Did you ever get yours? Do you love it?

I did purchase one for the elder kinder for Christmas. I got the standard grade walnut in the classic shape. The wood is pretty featureless, but the fit was good. Drop in, but a little off at the receiver tang leaving the metal a bit proud. Nada I can do about that. I can say from experience that Fajen was a better deal. My nephew has a laminate Boyd's stock on a rifle of his, I forget the maker, but his fit nicer than the one I got.

I am going to go with a laminate for the 1917. Hopefully will be a “good enough” fit. I can inlet and bed it if it’s not too far off.
