This looks like fiberglass to me.

What do the rest of you think?

Here it is in laminate. I've been waiting for years for the BLR to have diff stock options!!

Sorry, but I think you are probably still out of luck on the synthetic stock since photo transfer patterns work as well on wood as they do on plastic.  Wood laminates can still be shaped on a pantograph as usual while synthetics require an additional investment in either molds and injection equipment or labor in glass layups.  I don't think Browning has decided to invest that much more in the BLR.  At least, not yet, but we can hope and wait.

bearfat:  If you look at the detailed specs for a particular caliber of a Mossy Oak BLR, it states:

Wood Finish   MOBR, Dura-Touch

Pretty easy for them to paint wood ..........
Thanks, Dad, for taking me into the great outdoors.
