BarryinIN Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm not sure about the case hardening look. I used to see wood stock sets made for ARs, but not in a while. There is an Appleseed poster of a girl holding a wood stocked AR and it looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I love the wood. Several places sell them, last time I looked. Not practical really, I guess.A steel upper and lower? Must weigh. Fairly ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't care for the way it looks, I just thought it was interesting. I like plastic and aluminum on ARs. In fact I really like the way the smooth (non-tactical) aluminum full float barrel shrouds look.They refer to 8620 steel as "carbon steel" but it really isn't. 8620 steel is low carbon, mild steel that is easy to machine and case hardens easily.
