With some polymer furniture the Homesteader doesn't actually look all that bad. All parts available in bio.

How many rounds have you put through it? My experience with polymer stock adapters is that they're not strong enough to handle frequent use (eg competitive shooting disciplines).

The homesteader is relatively new to me so I've only got around 200-300 rounds through it with this build. I've been making stock parts for 81s and famaes for a while though even back before the OIC and I can count the failures from users on one hand. In general with stocks the issue is shock transmitted to the part which nylon is particularly well suited for, especially with a 9mm.

Competition may put more strain on it though, I've never had the chance to participate in one. It is a plastic at the end of the day, though a particularly robust one in this case.
