So the Tupe C stock in red grandis hardwood is finished, the stock in the picture is not sanded, it will be sanded, and dyed to walnut color, and finally boiled linseed oil finish.
I will be busy to make FAL stock set this month, and wait for the stamped steel part too.
This is the Red Grandis Hardwood, it had a janka hardness quite similar to Walnut, but the color and grain is different. I can feel its much harder than my first sample made of pine. My FAL wood set will use this wood. Birch Laminate stock and grips also availiable.
Some comparisons of VFC FAL butt pad and real Metric FAL butt pad.
Material of VFC looks like ABS, a hard plastic, the Real One use Hard Rubber. The real one can fit VFC stocks, but VFC cannot fit real plastic stocks. The shape is different too.
