poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 That is original! Nice work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks, but those are drop in parts from Boyds' Gunstocks. All I can take credit for is asking for it, and fitting the hand guards just a little. They're made for a round retainer cap, but being my compensator is pinned and welded, I had to use the triangle one that was on the barrel already. Just a little whittling and sanding in the right spots to get a nice fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I love it! Boyd's is awesome. I have several laminated rifle blanks in various colors from them that were only $39/each. Now I am just waiting for my imagination to catch up with my stash. I always love to see what you do with laminate. Your projects always look good, and always inspire. Great job! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

magsite20 1,664 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yeah I buy and build cheap guns and even when I try to make them look better they still look cheap, but that’s no reason for you posting a nice looking rig just to bust my balls. Great looking set up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 7,070 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Very Nice! That is some good looking laminate... And that's saying something, cause I don't like laminate. I've thought about doing an AR with either a Walnut or Birch with some tiger striping. There were some nice fixed stock sets with triangular handguards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,930 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 is that a lot heavier now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 8 lbs with the carry handle. The same as before. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,930 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 8 lbs with the carry handle. The same as before. That's surprising. If they have it in blue/grey with a slimmed down A2? triangle profile, i'd be tempted. All I'd need is an AR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 After researching, I have found three companies that are doing wood AR stock sets. Boydsgunstocks, which is the set that I got, and IronWood Design are doing them in mid-length. IronWood will do them in any color or wood you want, provided you supply the wood if they don't stock it. IronWood Design is also VERY expensive and only do the grip in the original, no finger groove form. Lucid (AR15Wooddotcom) is the other one. I love theirs but they don't do a mid-length. Boydsgunstocks does not do a matching grip, so I ordered a grip from Lucid, which will be here very soon. Incidentally, Lucid is owned by Clem Boyd who is not affiliated with Boydsgunstocks. There may be others, but I didn't find them...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,930 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 It's all moot since I am a tightwad who has no income or an AR. How'd your birthday hunt go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 And the grip finally arrived.... . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beefcakeb99 572 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Looks good, bet it would look better with a mag inserted, maybe even a matching 10 or 20 rd mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 There IS a mag in it, LOL. 5 rounder is the only legal one for hunting here. Where are them coyotes..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,742 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I just received an email from Lucid. They have their website up and running. Woodforar15dotcom. Good stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
