Anybody here dressed their AR in wood?
I was looking at IWD the other day and they are making wood ar stocks sets. They look very nice. Guess you can dress up the plain girl into a beauty queen. Maybe someday down the road I'll try this just for shits and grins.

hmmm, looks interesting. I think I've still got an old service rifle that would look fine like that...

I'm sorry to say this but I think it looks awful in wood. Just my oppinion, so I don't need my flame suit.

You could make a nice target rifle.
I like the idea of the FAL parts... Hope they get some more pics up of the FAL stuff soon...

The wood stocked AR is nothing new. I remember them in gun rags back in the early 80s. Variety is the spice of life. I love a good steak but would not want to eat one for every meal. Don't forget there are those that say an AR in anything other than black is heresy.

I would love an AR with Ironwood Designs furniture. I think an A1 with a Teflon or similar finish and nice wood furniture would look outstanding.

Agreed. IMHO the only post Korean War era ERB/MBR that can pull off wood furniture is the FN FAL......

Although it looks odd on a modern tactical rifle, polished walnut is certainly a lot prettier than injection molded nylon.

My dad is always whining about how his AR has no "soul"  I think this would fix that
Not for me though.

Retro sheek, but it just doesn't seem to have the same appeal in wood as this does:
