Boyds not shipping to MD

Mr.Culper · Feb 18, 2021

Does anyone have 1st hand knowledge as to why Boyds won't ship to MD?
I a 10/22 thumbhole stock in my cart.
When I entered my address a "popup" appeared saying it the stock was a restricted item in MD and could not be purchased.

I do plan on calling them,, but has anyone else had this issue and talked to Boyds??

They’ve shipped to me with no problem. It was about a year ago

Mr.Culper · Feb 18, 2021

Was it a thumbhole stock?

They wouldn't sell me a thumbhole stock for a bolt gun. A few months later, I was at the outdoor show in Harrisburg and stopped by their booth and inquired as to why. Their (several guys) response was that Maryland's laws were too confusing and they didn't feel comfortable selling thumbhole stocks to MD. I clarified it was for a bolt action rifle and they didn't seem to care.
I fully understand that our laws are royally effed up. Everyone understands our magazine laws, quite a few are confused about the HBAR thing and other confusing laws, but a wooden stock???

They are being dicks for not selling a thumbhole stock for a .22 rifle. They don't deserve our business. :mad54:

Check Midway and Brownells, both carry them but may not have the exact color you want.

Mr.Culper · Feb 18, 2021

Thanks,
But unfortunately they do not carry the stocks I am looking for. (Varmint T-Hole, and Spike Camp)

I wish there was another option for a thumbhole stock similar to the "Spike Camp"
Or any economical laminated T-hole for the Ruger Mini.
Stocky's is close to $90 more

Totally agree! I know we're a "special" state, but we should support the stores that take the time to work with us.

Well, it's Boyds, so is it that big a loss?

Smokescreen · Feb 18, 2021

About a year and a half ago I was helping my mom customize a 10/22 and we had a problem with Boyds.

She tried to order from them and the order went through and then was canceled for no reason. She called and they told her "because you could assemble a firearm in a banned configuration".

We even had our FFL contact them and try purchasing it and they still wouldn't send it.

At that point, we decided no more Boyds. We found a really nice stock from Stocky's Stocks http://www.stockysstocks.com and went with it. She is very happy with it.

I fitted a Boyd’s thumb hole stock for a M700 at the end of summer.
They sent it no problem, maybe it’s because semi auto scares them off.

This is why anyone who plans to order anything online needs to have a friend or relative in a more friendly 2A state. I have a friend in PA that does this for me. He orders and I paypal him the cash. I go pick up or he meets me halfway.

Absolutely correct! They're an outright disgrace!

Fu(k these companies like Boyd's that KNOW we're dealing with abject tyranny, and yet make no effort whatsoever to help us to complete entirely lawful transactions.

I'd sooner send a donation to Shannon Watts, than to give an order to any of these anti 2A enablers.

It was 5+ years ago I tried to order a thumbhole stock for my 10-22 and boyds would remove it from the shopping cart. I called and was told "to bad, so sad, oh well"

So now when I buy an after market stock it's anyone but boyds, to bad so sad oh well.

F@#k them

Palmetto State did something similar to me two days ago. I say screw any company that doesn’t want our business. I won’t shed a tear when they go bankrupt.

Doco Overboard · Feb 18, 2021

If they wont ship to some folks thats pretty stupid.
I don't think anyone's really missing out anything special from them anyway. I bought products from them over the years and the best thing they offer is comparability with a lot of current manufacturers and they're online/take cards.
