CNC router shoots production through the roof: Use of a four-axis CNC router dramatically increases gun stock production at California shop.

Ironwood Designs, a San Jose, CA-based designer and manufacturer of wooden gun stocks, has more than tripled since replacing a manual pantograph with a four-axis CNC router.

Made of high-quality hardwoods, Ironwood Designs' products are purchased by individual gun owners, gun dealers and firearms manufacturers to replace the inexpensive plastic or softwood stocks of many imported military guns such as the FN-FAL and the AK-47. Ironwood Designs also sells a four-piece wooden set that includes the butt stock, pistol grip and an upper and lower hand guard.
