I don't think you're going to find anyone making conventional wood stocks for the AR. I can't see how they'd work with the buffer tube let alone the lower. There are manufacturers making walnut buttstocks, pistol grips, and foreends. But they aren't cheap.

Hello Mr. Oolong Dao ; Try the website of Ironwood Designs, in San Jose, CA ironwooddesigns.com/IWDAR15.html They make nice Walnut stocks of the AR, and I know the man who runs it, he is a very skilled craftsman who makes an excellent product. Respecfully ; Paul R. Ward Full Disclosure: I have NO relationship with Ironwood apart from buying one of their stocks about 10 years ago.

I moved this to the firearms board for appropriate discussion. If anything else, have you thought about approaching a woodsmith? A good smith can recreate any stock design you have in mind, but I would say to take their advice. They know the grain in intimate ways only a woodsmith does.

People have been making AR-15 stocks in wood for ages. I can't find the pic but JFK received a presentation grad AR when he was President. As with most things guns, Brownells sells what you need. www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/st ... 38906.aspx

I like the looks of a wood-stocked AR15, but I like wood-stocked M14/M1A's even more :mrgreen:
One of these day's I will put together a "Gentleman's Battle Rifle". Wood stock, leather mag pouches, brass hardware...
