Posted: 9/27/2013 9:54:49 AM EDT

Anyone have an AR with wood furniture? If so please post.
Building one but not sure which way to go, modern or more retro look.

A search should turn up quite a bit. Lots of us have built using wood and have posted pictures many times. TheTurnbull has a special steel upper and lower that is case colored hardened. You cannot do that with aluminum.

Check this out...

There are a couple of examples but not much. Google is your best bet. Search "wood ar15".

If that were rifle length, it would be a much prettier rifle.

I predict that soon an all wood no pistol grip AR rifle will be developed for sale in NY,CT, CA and MD.

If it weren't so damn ugly it'd be a prettier rifle

Yeah, that's pretty, all right - pretty gross. I don't think it would be so bad if it were nicely blued, but that color-case looks like leprosy on an AR. The hand guard looks crappy too.
I like the very early AR with Bakelite furniture.

One of the 80% makers offered bronze lowers for a while.

Damn! I thought I was finished with building Rifles. Now I feel the obsession coming back! Nice job!

Here's one I built for hunting whitetails. I liked the wood stock, but found I prefer the shorter A1 length for my hunting rig and took the wood stock off and put a old fixed butt pre-A1 butt stock on it now. I haven't seen any A1 length wood stocks....but then again I haven't looked for awhile. I got this one from DSArms in 2005.

Really want to put together an AR with wooden furniture on it in .450 Bushy or .50 Beo for a whitetail rig.

Here is my version of a Non-Black AR Rifle....

I am very happy and pleased how it came out, and it shoots as well as it looks.

I ordered it off Rock River Arms website about three years ago. I looked for it a few times since and it looks to be discontinued.
I found this website and they seem to have a limited selection. http://www.precisionfirearms.com/19.html

Recently sold the Black Walnut set. Keeping the Laminate. That is being used on a 22lr Build with the NP3 upper and lower set. Both Sets can from AR15wood.com is there website, I bought my sets from them in person several years back at the NRA show in Arizona. He said he was the brother of "Boyds Stocks", I don't know. At the time, Iron wood designs was not doing them. One downfall on the ar15wood ones is that there are no vent holes in the hand guards. That is why I am using the laminate on a 22lr setup. If I buy anymore, I'll go with Ironwood designs. I have some of there AK stocks and love there work/quality.
