Is that like St. Trinians?
I know... I couldn't help it!
I think boyds have a good reputation for being reliable and fast, unlike Richards microfit.
Its just a shame they don't make as many styles...
Have any of you gentlemen bought direct from Boyd stocks in the US and was it a happy experience please, I am thinking of buying a laminate stock for my Remington and have been in touch with them via email, just a train of thought at the minute but something worth exploring whilst it is still just an idea
Many thanks in advance for any replies

Life is short, remember - Carpae Dentum ...
Have bought 6 blank laminate blank stocks 2 years ago from them...very fast, no problemo.
Had to to pay VAT + Excise duty when received in UK; Royal Mail drops you a card in letter box, so you go online & pay HM the surcharge.
With Boyds, I think you can still buy 2 blank laminate stocks at a time (if thats your plan); so If you want 4 blanks, you effectively have to put in 2 orders, 3 orders (upto a max of 2 blanks) etc...
Uninlet stocks...dunno....you notice most are pre shapped or finished for different makes of powder burner actions.
When Boyds STOPPED selling different thickness blanks, and started offering them in already pre-cut shapes, I decided I could no longer do business with them, as they "standardised" the blank laminates which would no longer be suitable for FT style stocks...so I looked for an alternative.
Happy to say, I found these guys, who sell "Laminate Panels" - which would you give you , say at least 2 or 3 stocks depending on thickness & specs you order...(roughly USD$1250.00 a panel)...BONUS ? any colour combo can be made to your spec.

I bought a stock from them earlier this year and the only problem I had was with ParcelForce. They repeatedly told me that it hadn't been released from customs and customs were telling me that it had been released. It took a couple of weeks and quite a few phone calls to sort out.
But to be honest, I wouldn't let it put me off ordering another one in the future.
Cheers,
Mark.
Bought a Ruger stock from them with no problems and fast delivery,at least until it reached the UK!!

Yes don't forget to add 20% VAT + 2.7% Excise duty
It arrived all safe and sound from USA after 19 days travelling, 4 of which it was crossing the States and the Atlantic and the rest to cross England and get out of customs
