Mike D -
This I hope was a fluke as I have purchased several Boyd's stocks before and was pleased with them . I bought a custom stock for my .22 Mag. Marlin XT Rifle a month ago ...and come to think of it , it had a couple minor finish and fit issues as well . I don't mind a little tweaking as it's kind of fun getting it to fit the gun just right .
But : I still haven't got enough of the wood ground off to get it to fit right on my 930 . I cracked the bottom of the forearm a wee bit and slipped with the dremmel and made an ugly skid mark as well !
The stock had their cheap recoil pad GLUED to the wood and was troublesome to chisel loose ........you know ,
I'm going to say their QC is suffering - they are apparently cutting corners and using employees that are not properly skilled in their attempt to keep up with demand and big back logs .
