hey folks, could any of you tell me if this would affect anything pertaining to this rifle's accuracy. Owner claims the rifle to be NIB, believes stock to be a possible Boyd's factory seconds. What do you all think, would it hurt anything?

Re: Quick Help on Possible Purchase

If it's just that little split near the trigger guard, I don't see how it could hurt anything. You could fix that. I can't think of any thing there (inside) that would have / or could rub on it. If anything else, ask the guy for the original stock as well.
 
Re: Quick Help on Possible Purchase

that is the stock this particular model comes in. Pardon my ignorance, but how could one go about repairing that?
 
Re: Quick Help on Possible Purchase

I wouldn't. I think a ding or two provides character. As long as function is not compromised, suck it up and move on. I could go nutz if I allowed myself to obsess over wear and tear.

I like that reply, thanks, Greg. I just didn't know if a hole like that would jeopardize the integrity of the stock...then again, it is a .22, so maybe it it not the end of the world, huh?
 
Re: Quick Help on Possible Purchase

Teller the seller your concerned you will have to ship it back for the stock work and get him to take shipping fees off of the price.

Seriously in that location I would not even give it a second thought unless you saw a termite coming out of the hole.

Epoxy and a little sliver of wood.
