The wooden furniture found on certain semi-automatic rifles is typically constructed from hardwood, often a type of laminate for durability and resistance to warping. This furniture includes the buttstock, handguard, and sometimes the pistol grip. These components contribute to the rifle’s overall aesthetic and ergonomics.
Original furniture contributes to the historical authenticity and collectibility of these rifles. The choice of wood affects not only the appearance but also the feel and balance of the firearm. A well-maintained and original wooden stock can enhance the shooting experience through improved comfort and control. Furthermore, original components play a significant role in preserving the rifle’s historical value, especially for collectors.
