Why swap the stocks on a shotgun? Two primary reasons stand out: to upgrade to stocks that better fit the shooter or to replace worn or cracked stocks. Many shotguns live a hard life, in and out of duck blinds, trucks, boats and exposed to bad weather. Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks offers a variety of replacements […]
