Don't know much about wood stocks for ARs, but the only carbine/collapsible stocks that I have seen are simply laminate overlaid polymer.

I have the Black Guns Wood set that I put on a Model 1 Sales A2 kit. The barrel is an E. R. Shaw barrel and is a very good shooter.
I call it the "Queen". It is heavy but a good bench shooter. The fit is perfect. The stock is .200" thicker than a standard stock. I do not have a triangle handguard to compare to but it is 2.630 flat to point at the widest. I have never found any other kits. LK |

I will ask a legitimate question. And yes, I know this is not GD.
There are hundreds of AK variants out there with cheap looking wood stocks and forearm parts. Why not just buy a wood furniture trash can gun and leave the AR platform alone? Save yourself some money. |

Boyds has AR15 wood stocks as well, but the butt stock is not as nice as the Black Guns Wood .

Why not just buy a wood furniture trash can gun and leave the AR platform alone? Save yourself some money. 1. I want something different / unique ,etc. 2. AR and AK are entirely different, I don't want a trash can gun and think it is a stretch to compare an AR with a nice looking AR stock to an AK both functionally and cosmetically. 3. Saving money wasn't really the topic here. Those AK variant aren't so cheap anymore anyway. People pay for lots of purely cosmetic things on ARs or any other firearm. For hundreds of years people have paid extra for the fancier models with cosmetic features that do not enhance function. Things like engraving, curly maple stocks, gold plated parts, polished blue steel, etc. |

Unless you are stupid enough to drive over them with a truck, they’ll hold up just fine. I have three ARs/LRs in wood stocks. Two are in a Kincade (look similar to Boyds with dual cheek pieces to beef up the really thin area around the front of the receiver extension) on a 5.56 and a .458 SOCOM, absolutely zero problems. On my LR in .470 Rhino, a near .470 Nitro Express cartridge, it has the old DPMS wood stock which is dimensionally an A2 stock, and even though it is extremely thin around the front of the RE, I have had no trouble at all. And this rifle kicks on a par with a .458 Win Mag, launching a 500 gr bullet at 1950 fps. I’m sure if you butt stroked an elephant with it, it might split but treat it like you would any fine rifle and it’s not going to give you any trouble. All three have Kincade walnut grips.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like this! Details? Done by Doug Turnbull in .308 and 5.56 IIRC. They were steel uppers and lowers done with his bone color case hardening and exhibition grade walnut. Yah, drag one of them down your driveway to give it the battle worn look, I dare you! |

The Turnbull stuff is nice, but not sure I like it enough for the price.
Pretty cool, but I'm cheap!

Simple designs, but very good looking (if you like wood furniture on an AR).

For you guys that have put one of these together; how does the forearm wood stand up to heat over time?

I never, ever, abuse my rifles by shooting them so hot you cannot touch the barrel, be it wood, aluminum, plastic, or carbon fiber. If you feel the need to destroy your barrels by shooting so fast you over heat your handguard, then wood is probably not for you.
My woody 5.56 is thinned so it fits over a Rock River free float tube but that means it’s pretty thin in the forend’s finger grip flutes in the handguard. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For you guys that have put one of these together; how does the forearm wood stand up to heat over time? It's a pretty good insulator, I'll say that. I don't really use that rifle for a lot of mag dumps. Mostly for positional shooting, relatively slow fire. |
