Factory stock for mini - garyrapp55 - 03-13-2021
Hello,
Before I give up on this Grendel and call LSI to exchange it a second time I'd like to put it in a different stock and see if it will group. Does anyone have a factory stock I could try? I'd pay to ship it of course both ways. It'd be great to pick up locally but I know that's a long shot.
Thanks,
Gary

If you've decided to quit looking for a factory stock----- which probably won't help like you hope--
I have a spare B&C. Or there are other paths. The howa will definitely shoot. Plastic bottom "metal" has also been an issue but again, there are ways to fix that.
Sometimes the factory 123 sst, not so much, but plenty of factory and hand loaded ones, really well.
IMO the plastic stocks only hold you back.
My 2 cents'.

grayfox,
Sorry for the late response. I appreciate the offer and will keep it mind. I plan to test this weekend and I think I found the problem. I believe the front action screw was too long in the Boyd's and was bottoming out, leaving half the action unstable. Thanks again.
