Background: I picked it up used, from a co-worker, a couple years ago. Thought about selling it, had it listed for a few days, changed my mind.
Anyway, it's a 1981 vintage BAR in 7mm Mag.
Here's the stupid question: The stock on this is very smooth and light feeling. It looks like a very nice wood, but it also feels thin and sounds hollow. I'd almost think it's plastic, with a thick lacquer coat, instead of wood. But I've never heard of a 1981 hunting rifle with plastic stocks that looked like wood, and haven't been able to figure out the magic Google search phrase to find out what Browning used for stock materials on the BAR in 1981
Does anybody know?
Thanks,
M
