Wood Stocks
We have fired several thousand rounds through Garands or M-14s at once here in the military, and have found that when a wood stock gets very hot, it can start to smoke and burn, especially with resin or sap or oil that remains impregnated in the wood.
Synthetic stocks on the M-14 do not burn or smoke and also eliminates the stock splitting eventually on a wood stock.
This is probably not applicable to civilian considerations, because I doubt many people would fire a few thousand rounds through a weapon at once.
