gunstocks in the wood

[TEXASforLIFE]

Have anyone replaced their factory wood or custom rifle, shotgun with a wood stock? I've ordered a Boyd's stock and should be here Thursday and post a pic. The action should be in by the end of this month and the Mcgowen by who knows when? I wanted wood since it is so elegant instead of cold bead steel/aluminum/or variant. This isn't a prs use gun, but will/should be accurate if all goes well? I'm looking for a second stock for another build in a savage110la cip mag length(3.850") and have been a difficult search for that specific mag size. The 3.715" acics are a bit easier to find. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!

I've had issues with Boyd stocks, but hope your's works out.

Stocky's Stocks is another option for wood/laminated stocks.

I've only replaced a polymer stock to wood stock on my Ruger Mini-14 but it was a factory wood stock so there was no issues.

What was the issue?

Bad inletting & holes that didn't line up for the action screws.

Midway usa has some great videos online with Larry Potterfield going through the steps for bedding a rifle and other gunsmithing topics.

The videos are definitely worth a watch!

The stock looks great, but does need some work! Bottom metal mag cut out is half finished and action holes are rough. I'm waiting on stocky's for my steel action pillars before I go any further. Most likely waiting on the barrel before doing any further work. I'm going to use some plastigauge for better inlet contact points for high and low visuals.
