Re: Triple Black YouTube
Good to see somebody's managed to put a Boyd's laminate on one.
IF you are going to list the specs barrel length seems to be one you'd want to include.
From the 8 rounds and the double hand span length we all know it's a 16" but that seems pretty fundamental to have left it out.
I need some more range time.

Re: Triple Black YouTube
Liked the video.
I have a Citadel (Rossi or should I say CBC made) .357 works and shoots great. Even a lttle more tacticool than the Rossi.
Thanks for sharing the video it was fun to watch.

Re: Triple Black YouTube
Yes, indeed. I installed a Boyd’s laminated buttstock on a Savage 99, and it required hours of fitting. If you can convince a Gunsmith to do it, as this guy suggested, you’d better bring lots of money.Archer wrote:Good to see somebody's managed to put a Boyd's laminate on one.

Re: Triple Black YouTube
I have two Faijen stocks on my guns one that was gunsmith bedded to a M1 Garand and one that was a near drop in replacement for a M1A. I think Midway bought out Faijen and then a year or two later sold them off to Boyd's where the price increased by several times.
I haven't actually fit a Boyd's to anything I'm running currently. I've thought about putting one on a Howa action or one of the modern Savages Bolt actions. Reviews I've read don't indicate those would be particularly difficult although I gather fitting the magazine on the Savage, possibly adding/changing pillar bedding or changing out the internal magazine for detachable on the Howa can be problematic. Not particularly a Boyd's thing with respect to the 'bottom metal' swap for the Howa but simply a quality of the magazine and supporting parts thing.
Were the problems you ran into with the 99 related to the variations between the models/production changes on those guns? I seem to recall they put out two or three major issues/types for those guns.
I think I'd want to do the swap myself unless I was metal epoxy bedding the action and maybe even then. It shouldn't be too involved even if it takes a bit of time and effort.

Yeah, we all know you prefer the flat black bed liner spray coat to the stabilized plywood laminate with color choices.GasGuzzler wrote:No thanks.

Re: Triple Black YouTube
I don’t believe so. 99’s had several variations of the forestock, but not so much the buttstock, particularly at the receiver interface. I think Boyd’s just makes them at maximum material condition to avoid having to maintain close tolerances. That was my only experience with Boyd’s. I can’t speak to any bolt action stocks.Archer wrote:Were the problems you ran into with the 99 related to the variations between the models/production changes on those guns?

Re: Triple Black YouTube
There is no attribute of a triple black that is appealing to me and changing the bedliner stock to a clown car stock doesn't help or hurt.Archer wrote:Yeah, we all know you prefer the flat black bed liner spray coat to the stabilized plywood laminate with color choices.GasGuzzler wrote:No thanks.
