Just bought my third Boyd's stock. I really like them. This one is for my old Marlin 795 mag (clip) fed 22LR.
Changing the stock was a 3 minute breeze. However, this stock, (like the original), has no pillars nor recoil lug area. The action area is a giant cavern, and the action just floats in there; held in place only by the action sandwiching the stock between the top of the action and the bottom trigger plate. Before final tightening of the action screws, clamping the "sandwich" together, you can slide the action fore and aft a good 1/4" or more!! Not good.
I have no problem bedding the stock, but with this one with nothing but a "cavern" for the action, I don't even know where to start. Surprisingly, I can not find anything in net searches. Others must have encountered the same problem...
Help??? Thanks in advance!!
