What percentage of your guns are "synthetic"?

[Ignition Override]

Let's see- Garand, Enfields, FR8s etc, even both .22s: 0% plastic.
So far no handgun.

 

[Inebriated]

80%

Though I've got a couple things on the short list that should balance it out.

 

[bannockburn]

It works out to be close to 40% of my guns are stainless and/or synthetic. I wouldn't have thought it was so high, thinking initially that it would be more like 20% or 25%.

 

[JohnM]

Zero percent. Had a Nylon 66 one time, it's been gone for years.

 

[Sav .250]

None............

 

[TurkeyOak]

4 wood & steel rifles
1 shotgun w/ polymer stock
1 .22 w/ polymer stock
1 stainless pistol
2 polymer pistols

So about half...

If i get another pistol it will be blue & wood
Any rifles will be wood & blue

Long guns- 0%, tried a few synthetic stocked guns, and traded them all off, I guess they aren't for me. Pistols- about 5%, Ruger P95 and LCP. I prefer metal frames for my range guns, but admit that poly certainly has its place for a carry gun.

 

[Batty67]

2 out of 3 of my long firearms have synthetic stocks. All have blued steel.

 

[The Bushmaster]

What? Plastic? NONE!!

 

[josiewales]

None.

"some old guns were beautifully made by artisans but it is hard to beat new technology and materials."

Funny how many of those old guns survived. Even the ones used in multiple wars.

I have a half a dozen stainless and/or plastic guns, if I count the 649 and 647 my father gave me and a Win SX-2 Waterfowl that's camo sythetic. All told, call it 8 to 9%.

 

[r1derbike]

100%

All, sold all my steel guns for shield xds, glock type pistols. I require the weight to be as light as possible, AR and Tactical 12 gauge also. Unless they melt them with a ray gun, they should outlast their steel and wood counterparts, as I have had 100's of them over 50 years of shooting, and at 64, I look for low maintnence and durability more than beauty. There is no downside to having synthetic guns so why bother with anything else. I don't need or want any high mainetnence things anymore..

 

[58limited]

0% - all are regular steel with wood stocks/grips.

 

[heron]

All of mine have composite stocks, but they all have blued barrels -- if whatever is done with a Saiga can be called 'bluing.'

Stippling just isn't the same as a set of Esmerelda's, etc.

Wood & blued steel: 5 total
Tupperware: 0
Maybe in the future. I really like shooting the Sig P229 in .40 Smith. That gun is smooooth .

Synthetic stock: 1 long gun, barrel is blued steel as well as the receiver. Actually, if I had a wood stock, the darn thing would be even heavier.

5 out of 7 are synthetic, the traditional wood/blue ones are a coach gun and mini 14

2, my Benelli and my Ruger 22/45. Add in my Ruger 10/22 with its plastic barrel band and trigger group, and my Tokarev with plastic grips, and everything else is wood and steel.

 

[snakeman]

4/19 one ar, one 22, one weatherby vanuard s2, one m&p 9mm

 

[PRM]

3 are SS
1 polymer (issued)

Everything else is traditional blue.

 

[Mauser lover]

Only my .22 rifle. All the rest are wood stocks, blued, except for one antique, it is nickle plated, with rubber grips.

 

[wyohome]

My Kimber Longmaster Classic has a stainless barrel. My S&W 622 is alloy of some kind and is my only weapon with no wood.

 

[Reloadron]

With the exception of my AR rifles and one Ruger .45 LC Stainless everything else is wood and steel. No clue what the percentages work out to be.
