Maybe I don't get out much but I just think this is a good lookin rifle. My AR is just kinda black. I guess somebody in Arizona makes these. It has a Wylde chamber, Lothar barrel and walnut furniture. Nice.

Seriously? Maybe I am a little biased cuz I work with trees all day. Part of that AR is made out of a tree.

Re: Nice AR
I like a nice wood stock as much as anybody and whilst that AR shows a certain amount of creative thinking and originality, I'm not too sure that I like it all that much.
The pistol grip and handguard just look.....odd. Could probably be improved with a little more work on the shape (and finish).
But you'd still be left with the question "why?"

Re: Nice AR
I have seen those wood sets at gun shows - they have some very nice wood. It would be nice to have for a show piece but I wonder how well it would stand up to some serious range time? How hot would it make the wood?
I do like thought as there is nothing nicer than pretty wood on a rifle.

Re: Nice AR
Its just people trying to blend the AK with the AR. Kind of a retarded idea, but someone will buy it.

Re: Nice AR
Well try to imagine if the AR was blued and not anodized...this particular set is different than the others I've seen, with the cheek rest and side vents on the handguard. I'm not partial to blued steel and walnut either, but it does have a certain rustic appeal to it.

Re: Nice AR
Maybe wood is just dead. It fought a good fight and now it's over. But man I want to hang that thing on my wall! I would like to see the metal blued as well, that would just tie it all together.

Re: Nice AR
The in between style above misses the mark for me.
I do appreciate the concept, but I think an upper without forward assist would be aesthetically more attractive.
Add a scope in a clean mount like the LaRue, a grip more like the Tango Down grip and also using a free float tube inside a wood fore end that is set up to ride in a front bag would make a nice varmint gun that is easy on the eyes.

Re: Nice AR
Wow, I like the look of that a lot. Definitely more of a wall gun than something you'd beat on at the range. I appreciate good woodworking and nice hardwoods. I don't think I would drop the cash to buy something like that but I would certainly ooh and ahh at it if I saw one.

He can always use them as firewood for a hog roast if he finds out later that they're made by MagPul!!
