The Boyd's stock finally came today. I was able to get it put together. Remington 870 youth, 21" barrel, drilled and tapped for a Sumtoy mount and FF3, Carlson .568 choke, Boyd's thumbhole stock. I've built several of these little guns. This one may be my favorite...... if it patterns good.
Looks great!

I have wanted to buy a set of those boyd's stock/forearms for a youth 20 gauge 870, but was not sure that they would fit and function correctly. I assume this right here affirms that they will fit with no problem? Did you have any fit issues (go right on - or did it require some modifications?) Thanks

They fit perfectly. No issues. I'm happy to report say that little gun is now a killer. I killed a bird yesterday and a distance that I grossly misjudged. Dropped it like a hot rock.

Pepperhead, just now saw your response and apologize for not answering sooner. I almost bought a set of Boyd stock/forearm this time around but wanted to ask someone like yourself if they would fit without modifications. Glad to hear that they will go right on with no issues. Thanks for the heads up, and I will have to rig me one of those up before next year.
Nice looking rig.....
Pepperhead nice job! What`s your load?
