See, now you're really confusing me. It was my understanding that a USGI synth was lighter than wood. Maybe not though..... My wood stock on my loaded is a big fat pig and I think it's rather heavy for wood because of the fat profile. I'm sure a USGI wood profile is thinner and lighter. But still, I thought the synthetic's were typically lighter.
