The U.S. military would reject stocks that had heavy figure other than fiddleback, as the burl wood was heavier and could be more brittle. The fiddleback cuts came from the center cuts (quarter sawn) of some logs, and the slab cuts that came from the outer part of the log seldom had any figure.

Thanks much guys for your thoughts. I will try to get another of my carbines posted soon.
Hope everyone is having a great New Year so far.
