Title: Wood AR furniture
Post by: blackwolfe on September 14, 2009, 01:36:02 AM: Any body seen this? Wood AR furniture from Rock River. Wish I had the money for this. I like the black laminate, but the walnut is nice too.

Gotta have a rail on the bottom of the gas block to mount a coffee cup. ;D

The Laminate wood ones might look better in colors other than gray. I'll keep my standard black CAR stock, thanks. And judging from bump firing my dad's AK, wood don't dissipate heat very quickly. I wear a glove on my left hand when I fire that gun for an extended period of time.

I would do the same with an AK and did with a SKS I formerly owned. Wood is a no go for me. Wood is fine for practical/tactical purposes where it is not exposed to the elements as much. Again, my opinion.

Post by: fightingquaker13 on September 18, 2009, 03:52:46 AM: Gotta agree with Tom here. I would prefer a wood stock on my AR IF I was planning on bayoneting and butt stroking someone with it. Otherwise, I like the collapsible plastic. Hell, if I had my choice ALL my hunting and SD guns would be in stainless and synthetic. I'll leave the wood to the heirloom guns, I lke them, I just prefer low maintainence in a gun and a woman.
