Polymer vs. Wood

[Skukripion]

What are folks opinion about polymer or wood stock sets for AKs?

[flan7211]

I love all the stocks. That's why I have at least one of each style. Don't forget steel side folder!

Or Polymer side folder.

[flan7211]

Which one do you prefer?

I'm also kind of a believer of AK=wood, AR=plastic.

You can hit someone in the face with metal folder better than plastic, so Dah.

Or a steel under folder. If given a a choice on a fixed stock, I would go with the classic look of a wood stocked AK.

Wood stock sets for me. Wood handguards stay cool longer than the plastic ones. If you go with wood laminated handguards watch out for thr metal reinforcement pins suckers get hot.

I like east German Bakelite lower hand guards PVC upper and pistol grips and German wire side folders lol

I heard the real Commie plastic handguards stay cooler longer than Kvar/Arsenal ones, but i dont know which plastic you used. I usually use mag-grip stance anyways if i'm shooting a lot down range.
