I had lousy luck with Sherluk. Two years ago I ordered two sets of A-1 stocks, handguards and pistol grips and got a box filled with junk that wasn't worth the shipping - never mind the asking price.
I ordered a "Hornet" upperr from Fulton Armory and received TOP QUALITY condition A1 plastic. |

The wood furniture came from Ironwood Designs in San Jose, CA. Look at this thread www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=232373
The AR wood is relatively new at IWD and Matt's site doesn't have any info on this furniture yet. Here's their website www.ironwooddesigns.com |

just noticed that the carrer from ts doesnt have the wide opening at the fire pin retaining pin on the opposite side.
opposite side of it goes in, the older ones i seen have the hole widened. |

Here is my 607. The pic is not very good and it looks "warped" but this is just my poor photo skills.
 Here is a pic of my XM177E2 set up, I also have a shorter XM177 upper for it, but don't have a pic with the different upper handy.  |
