Are these stocks real solid wood or are they like a laminate type deal? 

Yeah, real wood.

One of my M4's is Cerekoted OD green, Bazooka Green is the actual color name, it looks great!

Do you a picture? I've seen one here everywhere else is a web picture.

Thanks fellas, the wood is definitely more comfortable 

@John P. thanks for the post ! I’m ordering another set and making these the beaters lol

I like the fore stock, not crazy about the butt stock though. I think the butt stock would look better without checkering, and maybe a thinner "bakelite" type butt plate.

No. The hand guards just needed a little finesse; I didn’t want to crack them somehow as they were a little tight but got them in NP. The bolt that came with the stock surely didn’t thread in, I don’t have a metric die set and so based on what they’re saying on Reddit, went and picked up an m8x1.00 fine thread and that works fine for now. I’ve ordered a die and will chase the socket head grade bolt it came with and try that again. 
 

The gun really does feel lighter now and more comfortable naturally from the wood. That is compared to and for those who run the factory hand guards and field stock. I suppose without the sling plate and internal hardware in the factory stock that accounts for some of it. I plan on putting a limbsaver on also. 
 

If I were to nitpick at all, the exposed front edges of the walnut hand guards are unfinished and could use a little oil. The wood grip where it meets the receiver is not perfectly flush and slightly bulging in some spots, like only a 1/16” or so and I can live with that. 
 

edit; next to some good ole fashioned American walnut, I think it looks great

Been wondering if we’d ever have the option of buying wood sets.  These are Panzer Arms from Turkey—one of the clone makers (“Turknellis”) that sells clone versions with these stocks.  I wish Benelli made wood furniture for the M4, but it is what it is.  

Cheapest right now for $70 at PSA, and also available for $100 at MidwayUSA.  Better pics at this site, but they are sold out.

I’ll follow up once my set arrives.  If they’re good to go, I’ll likely add QD swivels and a Limbsaver as I did here.  If the finish is glossy I’ll probably also use steel wool to make them matte.

Did you file it down to make it fit

For what it’s worth I did not have to on my set, that tongue and groove fitted fine. The grain on your hand guard looks very nice, better than what I got 

[John P.]

Yeah, nice grain.  Mine are due tonight.

[John P.]

Mine were just delivered.  They seem fine—no amazing burl or movement, but decent for the price.  Will probably keep my Multicam field stock/forends on the gun.

[nyc71]

I have a fitting issue with forend top & bottom.

[03svt]

Any more luck getting them to go in? I had to work mine into place with a little elbow grease

No luck, I'm going to order another set to modify with my sander.

They do look good together

Sure do!

I can't quite snug up the stock with the bolt that came with it.  Unfortunately, the other bolts I have on hand are slightly too short.

That walnut looks so classy! I hope, if I ever get shot it's with a good looking gun like that! 😀

🤣😂🤣, Once I get back my other three stock I'm going to send the wood for shortening too.
