Anyone used Ironwood's L1A1 walnut?

If so, how'd you like the fit, etc.? And did the wood components match pretty closely in color, grain, etc.?

Thanks.

I'm happy with the set I got to build a C1A1 clone. Don't forget to order the popsicle stick for the PG, it's a separate item.

Tung oil gave a perfect match on the Butt/PG/HG set I have - a small amount of trimming was needed to fit the butt pad & tang. The trigger plunger hole on the PG needed a little work too - less than ten minutes in total.

Yes, it's nice. It may require a small amount of fitting, but nothing major.

You will need to provide a new popsicle stick for the handle, or refinish an original one to match.

Is the L1A1 wood in stock?
