thumbs1 1 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I am just getting ideas for my conversion. It may be a couple months away but it doesn't cost to plan. Anyway I was wondering who has used the TimberSmith stock sets? I kinda like the red but was wondering how the fit and finish was on the wood. Any problems or was it pretty straight forward?

gregomega 929 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Two of my buddies on here, viafinatic and itsallcreated I believe have sets of timbersmith on theirs and they look great. I dont remember them mentioning haveing any problems with it. But as far as used sets forsale, I cant help you. I know markw1 sells some old take off wood in the wts section that is in good shape. Other than that maybe try CSS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thumbs1 1 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hey thanks for the help. I was thinking of a new set but was wondering how well they fit. Kinda leaning, as of now, toward the wood stock set. I think I need a gas tube and some hardward for the forearm. I was wondering if anyone sold these as a conversion package. Haven't found one yet, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

belbo 3 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have the red set. Fit is good and finish is good. The pistol grip really doesn;t too well but face it, I bought it for looks. I took it in to the gun store and they all fell in love and had 2 offers to buy it. If you like it in teh pictures, you will like it in person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VaiFanatic90 360 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I've got it on mine. I got the black laminate. My rifle is currently still unfinished, so you'd have to look in the gallery thread for photos of it. I enjoy the feel and how it looks. It gives it a distinguished, classic look 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alstegner 2 Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 I bought the natural timbersmith set and used the upper and lower fore grips on my rifle, i made my own stock and pistol grip out of cherry(counts as USA parts right? haha) and wanted something i could stain the same color as the stock and pistol grip.(making the foregrip from a piece of firewood was a bit out of my skill set) The fit was a little loose on the bottom hand guard so i bought the steel spring clip that keeps it from moving and problem solved. Got everything from Carolina shooter supply they are the best. Personally i did not like the feel of the pistol grip actually the birch wood that the whole kit is made from is a little on the soft side but after a couple coats of finish it seems pretty durable. All in all its pretty expensive wood, If i could have found a surplus set at a reasonable price at the time i would of went with that especially since i was only going to use the forgrip. Also I am not so pleased with the sling plate on the wood stock. The sling swivel plate just has a very shallow recessed space for it but on the plastic tapco stock that the timbersmith mimics the sling plate is on a raised platform that allows the sling swivel to lay flat... Just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thumbs1 1 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks guys. Sorry for not getting back sooner. For some reason I am not getting notices of replys to my topics. Still on the fence with the stocks. I have a hard time spending the 50 bucks for the lower retainer. LOL Just cheap I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buddykermit 16 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I had the brown set on a saiga i ordered from atlantic. the bottom handgaurd came crazy loose after its first trip to the range and about 200 rounds through it. ive posted this here a week or 2 ago and even a video that shows it. other than that i like it and hope it was a fluke.

Stoned_Oli 4 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 You know, Ironwood Designs has a few overstock sets for $99 I believe one for a Romy will fit, might have to fit the handguard for the thicker barrel. http://www.ironwooddesigns.com/IWDwoodpile.html scroll down to the $99 set specials part.
