That looks neat!

[Rampager]

I like it!:clapping: If I ever get an AR that's the route I'll go. I'm a wood kinda guy.

[jfowl31]

who makes it... thats freakin awesome! any URL's for purchase? price?

[jonboy20]

Wait wait wait.....yes that looks freaking cool, and yes I just might buy it, but come on now.....it is called the black rifle for a reason!!! And besides, where am I going to put all my ninja stuff at?

[snapshot762]

Very nice! Definitely not something you see everyday.

[k98k792]

Beauty!

well, now you can use wood screws to screw the rails on anywhere you want

[hunter_la5]

I like it! modern rifle meets old world style :)

The seller was my my local transfer guy so I stopped by his table to say Hi, he had got the furniture in the 80's when someone was making them, I have not seen any for sale apart from this set, I gave $75,
Im a lefty and have been having a hard time finding a cheekpiece that works for me - I figured (like Henry) I could make a cheekrest from matching wood and fit it, or make the top section of the buttstock adjustable and elevate it on a slide of some kind.

Looks nice for sure, hope not a problem of buttstock cracks, due to the recoil buffer. Boy looks nice.

[kevin]

well if there is wood stock sets around i may consider getting my first firearm in .223 that looks cool!

[okie shooter]

Now kevin there are 223 guns with wood stocks, My ak has one(well german dimple bakelite now, but I will get some wood for it.

[jfowl31]

This is the first Ive ever seen, and the OP said he bought it from a guy who had it since the 80's... i doubt anyones still makin them

[jlpskydive]

If that had been only described to me in words I'm sure I would have thrown up in my mouth, BUT now having seen it.... It's freaking awsome. That has got to be one of the coolest AR's I have ever seen!!! :thumbup:

[jfowl31]

If ANYONE EVER sees these for sale anywhere, please share the wealth!

That is so cool I think... I didnt even know they existed, and now I want one!

I especially like the fact that its the triangle style handguard. Quite a steal indeed for what you paid.

[tump]

that looks great i've been keeping an eye out for the same thing. $75 is a steal if you find a butstock on the auction their usually $150ish.

[tanstaafl4y]

well, now you can use wood screws to screw the rails on anywhere you want

I've seen wood screws used to mount "Laser Sights" on plastic handguards.

/And Cousin Bubba wonders why his rifle won't group.

[kevin]

i wonder if the guy doing the new bren buttstocks and pistol grips could take measurements from the plastic stock sets and make wood ones?

[okie shooter]

i wonder if the guy doing the new bren buttstocks and pistol grips could take measurements from the plastic stock sets and make wood ones?Didnt the orginal variants of the bren's have wood stocks and grips?

[kevin]

im talking about a guy who is making us made bren stocks and grips for 922r. The bren stock isnt something easy to make so it might be worth asking him if he could do stuff like the wood AR sets. They were all originally wood on the bren.

[okie shooter]

Oh ok, I didnt think about compliance parts, its too early and no caffene this morning. :) Ya I was thinking there should be plenty of wood out there. Just no american wood(yes lets be proud of american wood :) )

[Hoot]

I am forever changed! I didn't know wood furniture was available for them, though considering the burgeoning aftermarket for accessories and parts, I imagined there was someone somewhere out there who made them. I'd bet that if you found someone making them now, out of quality wood, you sure souldn't touch the set for no $75. Perhaps triple that...

I love wood furniture and will opt for it whenever it is an option, but not sure I'd go for wood if the gun was never designed for wood furniture. I don't know...

[okie shooter]

On anyone makeing these, take off your buttstock on your ar, and look how thin the material is on top of the recoil assembly at the front of the buttstock, I imagine if you make these, you would have to pick the wood carefully to prevent that from breaking when you machine the profile then drill out for the tube. If it were easy I guess there would be more.

[Jagman]

This set was from Springfield Armory - they produced them in the 80's.
I have since found out ironwood designs make sets for the AR but they are not listed on the website.

I hope they don't put that dumb groove down the sides of the stock, like they do on their AK ones. Ruins the whole look. :monkey:
