Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

true -- its just the walnut and blued timeless quality - how many of the modern plastic will increase in value like many of the wood blued classics have - the plastic has its place I quess-- I do wonder though how long some of the modern stocks and wrapped barrels will last if given 5 years of culling work - saw a Sako stock recently that did not impress me in the least - the surface was coming apart - not good for the price of it - but if I was 20 and culling again likely look at stainless and a synthetic stock - its the magazine capacity I would want

actually thats a good point I have not seen raised on here the durability of some of this modern stuff - I know many of the moulded types the lugs to hold ones sling snap off but what if one did drop a wrapped barrel or graphite stock onto the rocks in a creek after a tumble -how would they hold up - I suspect not very well
