It's just a term that's been used quite a while to describe wooden stocks,grips and handguard. Now of course it applies to plastic as well.

from what I read, it sounded like what everyone kept referring to the additions to handguards, and rails. Thanks for the info..

The Brits used the term starting in the late 19th century for the wood butt stocks, fore-ends, and hand guards on SMLE's. It probably goes back even further as many really old fire arms have furniture grade wood on them, ornately carved and checkered.
