Where do I find a Boyds?

[captain2k_ca]

So I am not a huge fan of the plastic stock on my M14s....ick.

Where in Canada can I buy a Boyds stock?

Or any other maker of nice wood M14 stocks??

Also Nooblet question... M1 garand, M1A, M14, M14s, M305, Socom 18....all the say stock aye???

You can order direct from Boyd's. I'm not aware of a Canadian retailer.

M1 Garand stocks are not the same as M1A/M14/M305 stocks.

Okee...and theres no restriction on exporting from the USA??

I just ordered a few stocks last week from Boyds. Read their site all you need to know is on there.

To be honest I am not finding a stock for an M14s or an M305...Just for M1A.....

From boyds not unless its more then $500 before shipping

I ordered from boyds both the stock and wood rail, be ready for a supplementary border tax that you need to pay upon receipt it was around 40$ in my case.

The M1A is Springfield Inc's civvy M14 clone. M14 parts are not exportable, but M1A parts are. M305 is the Canadian version of Norinco's M14 clone, which is no longer available in the US.

Order the m1a, it fits perfectly, the rail needed a little sanding at the tips..very very little...but if you don't order the rail it fits.

Perfect!! Thanks for the answers!!!

"...From Boyds not unless..." No M-14 parts without the U.S. export permit, regardless of the value. As mentioned, M1A's are not M-14's. Any stock will need a bit of fitting. And if you have to fit it, you might as well glass bed it at the same time. There's a free how-to in the M14 & M1 Garand Accurizing manual here. Note the need for the provided UN & PW. Add the W's.

No fitting required on the action on this one at all. I did need to drill out the upper buttplate screw hole a bit, it was too small in diameter. Getting the stock liner screws lined up was a bit of a PITA, too.

That stock looks really nice!!

Looks nice, but you do have to fit the stock slightly. You can see in your pictures where the back inch of the op rod guide track of the receiver (just under the windage knob) is sitting on the extra wood you need to file away to allow the whole right side of the receiver as well as the heel of the receiver to sit flush with the stock. It's a simple fix.

Does your's pass the hammer-follow test like that?
