I ordered a right handed thumbhole set and forend from Boyds a month or so ago.  I've not fitted it yet, but just so you aren't surprised like I was the forend will take A LOT of fitting.  The channel is set up for a Sportster 22Lr and the forend screw is not counter sunk into the bottom.  To get the spacer to be near flush with the bottom of the forend the channel will need to be deepened a little more than 1/8".  And I'll bet the cutout for the screw post will need to be deepened as well.  Oh, and you will need to install the spacer too.

I really do like the shape of the forend (it's tapered) and the rounded front where a normal handi forend is flat.  I just didn't expect it to require this much fitting.

I have no interest in their left hand stocks, nor their forends for that matter, just lettin those that have been asking for left hand t-holes for many years know about em.  ;) Their stocks are true bolt ons, I have a bunch of their right-hand t-holes, never had a problem with them, they now even come with a stock bolt, none of mine did.  :o

I didn't even think of it. :-[   The lady I talked to when I ordered them said they weren't a regular production item and they only had 2 sets left. She told me that when they were gone they were gone.  I'm glad to see they are offering them now though.
