Boyd's stocks

[the enigma]

Has anyone brought a Boyd's stock in from the States recently. What is the typical cost of shipping and import tax?

 

Cheers

I cant remember costs, but be prepared to wait a long time, a very long time

I got one about 3 months ago, it took 21 days from order until I collected it from Parcel Force. All in it cost me £129.

Had one on my howa, nice stocks at a good price! You can also get bell and carlson stocks from the us at resonable prices

I got mine. All 5!!! Longest was 6 weeks for the first one ( homeland security took an interest ) quickest 10 days. Well worth it. Minor fitting and some Devcon. Job done.

Thanks lads. That sound's like good value............ I'd come across a couple of uk sites that will supply Boyd stocks but are asking for £175/£180 for the Evolution stock.

Very nice, that's the colour I've got in mind.

That's the stock I got for my cz 455. Import tax was about £18 I think. Really pleased with it. Sold my original thumbhole stock for £80

[AdamW]

Yep, £130, got one being delivered tomorrow, ordered last Saturday!

I would buy it very soon if it is still available, nearly all of the worlds laminate gunstocks are made from a material called stratabond and see here;

For what happened to the rutland plywood factory at the end of last month. I would expect some serious impact across the industry! Boyd make a lot of stocks for many companies on their own and things like remington, cz and others that show stratabond stocks along with companies like GRS which use it are going to have to come up with new sources very fast i would expect.

That's not good.

[Traztaz]

Are you referring to the Rutland plant being ashes Traztaz?

Yes mate, I can see this having quite a knock on effect
