Wood vs Synthetic Which do you prefer ? I Know the advantage of synth stock ( no warping etc ) and yes its arfcom so get both is expected, but which one ? and if wood, birch or walnut ? my current has synth and needs to be repainted. so one vote in the poll is for synth only because thats what I have and so I can view the poll results |

USGI Synthetic, you don't feel bad when you take the spray paint to it. plus when you out in the damp, cold, wet, etc... it doesn't swell. and very cheap from Freds, paint a few to match projected environs in your particular AO. Also from what I have read, doesn't need to be bedded like is recommended for wood. |

Wood is nice My M1 has Wood of course, very nice and, well it's the original thing and wouldn't look right in synthetic. My M1A came with wood. It's nice too but for funcitonality I've swapped it out for a USGI synthetic which looks great, functional and very durable. my M1A is shown here:

| Freds tigerstripe walnut for looks and a synthetic for knockabout use.My N.M. M1a came from the factory with a gorgeous tigerstripped N.M. contour walnut stock. To save wear and tear I bought a G.I. synthetic. Now I have 4 M14 types and they all have both a walnut and a synthetic matched to them. |
