Richard's lists the 810 as an action they can cut for (with an additional $25 setup fee - guess it's a rarer one).
http://www.gun-stocks.com/I used one of their stocks on a Turk Mauser that I had built into a .257 Roberts (Went with Semi-fancy Myrtle wood). It turned out nice, and I was very satisfied with the end result. Couple of things to note though:
- Even their "press-fit" models require a little bit of inletting (particularly the barrel channel). The 810 is semi-inlet so there'd probably be a good bit of inletting needed there.
- The stocks require extensive finishing work. Not quite like stripping an old stock and refinishing as a lot of the initial shaping and smoothing is already done there. For these, you have plenty of sharp corners to round out, and a LOT of surface sanding to work out the tool marks and get the surface smoothed up.
- If you have them install a recoil pad ahead of time, it gets glued on (screwed on too, but it's glued). This makes it difficult to impossible to remove while finishing, so you have to be extra careful not to get excessive finish on the pad. If I had it to do over again I'd probably order without a pad, finish it, and then have a local smith fit a pad afterwards.
Like I said though, I was expecting the work and really like how the stock turned out. It's probably my best looking rifle in the cabinet.
As a matter of interest, this stock was bought to replace a Boyd's stock (Nutmeg Laminate JRS) that I really, really didn't like. The inletting was VERY sloppy on it. There were gaps all over, and the triggerguard area was cut too deep in the front (so that when tightened down the metal didn't sit flush in the front). To add insult to injury, there was too much wood in other areas so I still had to inlet a lot to get the action to fit it correctly. The comb was also fairly poorly designed for Mauser action, and so the cocking piece would hit it as it came back. After going out and shooting the rifle a bit, the front of the comb looked like it had been nibbled on by a beaver. Unless I absolutely couldn't find a stock elsewhere, I personally wouldn't purchase another Boyd's.
