Black Wood USA's Walnut AR-15 Grip mates hand-finished wood panels with a precision-machined aluminum grip frame from Indian Creek Design. The panels bring the traditional look and feel of wood to the modern AR-15 platform in a shape ideal for positive control, ergonomics, and comfort on your CQB or full-size battle rifle.
The grip angle is more vertical than traditional A2-style AR-15 pistol grips. This design draws inspiration from the famous 1911's grip angle and is optimized for use on CQB rifles.
All grips are drop-in upgrades for AR-10 and AR-15 style firearms and require no additional tools.

About The Wood
English Walnut is a classic hardwood that has been used in firearms production for centuries. Its colors range from blonde to dark brown with most pieces having little color variation. The Wood Database rates its Janka Hardness at 1,220 lb.
No two pieces of lumber are alike and neither are our grip panels. We take pride in the unique patterns and colors found in each of our grip panels and know that you'll love the way the wood complements your firearm. Please note therefore, that the pieces you receive may not look exactly like those shown in the images.
About Our Collections
Every piece of wood we use is unique. However, to help ensure that the furniture on your rifle provides a uniform aesthetic, we do our best to match all wood furniture pieces within the same wood type. For example, you can rest assured that our Walnut (or Rosewood, Zebrawood, etc) Stock, Grip and Rail Panels will all look great together on your weapon.
