    the beech stocks are laquered and the walnut is an oiled finish, so totaly different if you want it original

    Exactly what he said.
    If you can't do it or don't want to have a go just pop round to a local re-finisher/ furniture repair shop.
    If you want it to look new you could buy a stock from one of the lads who have replaced with a custom stock.

    There is plenty of advise on finishing beech stocks on here - if you can fit an adjustable cheack piece it should be straight forward and a lot cheaper for you

    Hello Nick
    If you are going to have a go there is some good clips on you tube. why not have a go, what have you got to loose ?.
    I am not sure what you know and would not want to offend you.
    Beach is a very light colour so the factory use a tinted lacquer that is sprayed onto the stock.
    Basically it is coloured varnish in simple terms.
    Has the stock got anything on it or has it been striped back.
