Butt stock for a T/C contender rifle fit, albeit generously. Minor fiddling yielded a fine rifle.
Have bought a few full size stocks with good results, however just bought a laminated fore arm and butt stock for BAR. Must have been a second, terrible wood to metal fit, rounded edges, uneven width and height. Sent it back, awaiting for replacement.....
I think Internet explorer will take you there.

I put a CMP "C" Boyd's stock on my 1903A3 but, had a local stock maker fit it?
Works well enough.

I fit and finished two of their RIA style and one JRS classic on a K31, a 1917 Eddystone, and a Santa Fe 98 Mauser. I bought a finished Sky laminate fwt thumbhhole for my daughter's Stevens .243. In all instances I've been pleased.
how do Boyds laminated stack up against Richards as far as fit & finish?
..
No experience with Richards laminates, but their inletting and shaping needed fixing on the three walnut stocks I got from them. The figure was very nice, however.

I just helped a buddy fit and bed a "at one adjustable " what a pile of ****....fit fair , finish ok.....Boyds forgot to include the recoil lug,and we had to beg for them to send the hardware.....I made the recoil lug in my shop, a lot of cheap plastic where metal would be better.....and there crappy black & white photo copied "instructions " looks my pre schooler could draw better ...... this one was for a Remington 770...........I got a thumb hole stock for my Ruger American and it went to gather good.....but then again, I scrapped all the plastic and made metal parts for it
I have mixed feelings about Boyds
I have two Boyd's stocks. First, a Prairie Hunter for my Ruger M77 tang safety 22-250 which was a drop-in replacement. The other was one of their Featherweight Thumbhole stocks for my Rem. 788 22-250. That one required carefully squaring the internal corners of the magazine well, otherwise it was a great fit and it looks/feels great as well.

Aftermarket recoil lug, Timney trigger, Aluma Hyde II paint, Glades bolt handle, homemade bolt knob, etc.
