I could certainly be mistaken, but isn't "furniture" the bands etc. that go on the stock, and not the wood itself?

You are thinking of "hardware" in this example, whether speaking of chairs or rifles, the furniture is assembled with hardware.

furniture (ˈfɜːnɪtʃə)
noun,

4. (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) the wooden parts of a rifle
