Trying out some wood parts. More to come!

Ya gonna do a carbine or A1?? I like this. Benn thinking about it. Got this saved in my phone.

I've seen a few with wood stocks, look neat, not my thing for an AR but there are a few kits out there.

That looks pretty good, almost like bakelite.

I have plans for 2 of them. Both are pistols so it makes a stock difficult but I can do grip and hand guard upgrades. One I’ll be doing the full hand guard in triangle-ish shaped wood and the other will have an mlok rail with wood accents

Also, this grip is 3D printed! It’s a 70% plastic 30% wood fiber mix. It feels kinda like wood and plastic but it looks and smells just like wood. Light and durable alternative to wood

That's why it looks like that, I was wondering. I do 3D printing at work and was going to ask that.

 

[Deersniper270]

It’s a neat alternative to wood that gives you the wood look but is also durable. I am considering getting a 3D printer myself. The tech has become more affordable and precise.

I built this one a few years ago. I used an Ironwoods Design A1 kit made from American Black Walnut that I finished myself.

I’d be willing to pay or trade ammo with you one day just for the opportunity to see your AR’s in person! You truly have awesome collection!

Let me think about that. If I did decide to do this, I would do it for nothing.

Deal! I can be a patient man. Maybe lunch or a beer then, if that would sweeten the pot.

What’s the weight by the way? I’m sure the wood adds a bit. Gov profile barrel I’d assume. Hbar would be a tack drive but I assume would be like throwing a knights m5 ras on as far as weight goes.

The ak guys say that's like putting mud tires on a 2wd.

Never bothered to weigh it. The barrel is a Windham Weaponry A2 profile. The wood may add a tad more weight than the polymer furniture, but it would be negligible.

Kinda like putting poly furniture on an AK....

 

[Deersniper270]

Got some panels in today along with a hand stop. Hand stop ended up being bigger than I hoped so I’m going to hold on to it for something else maybe. But the Nordic pattern wood panels are pretty sweet!
