    Or two lads from t tarn huntin'.

    "Si di char, rabbits"

    "D r"
    "E i d r"

    Translation:
    "By george my friend, there are some rabbits over there"
    "I think you are mistaken my good man"
    "I don't think so, I'm quite certain that they are rabbits"
    "Yes, you are quite right, they are in fact rabbits".

    I do remember beech stocks of the past having barely any figuring and a very tight grain.
    Then again, Weihrauch beech stocks, even new ones seem to have little figuring at all. Possibly just in the sourcing of the timber.
    hi any chance of seeing a pic of that tx stock please?

    To the OP; apart from varying quality beech and the way it is sawn regarding the grain, I recently refinished a Mercury Challenger stock applying a walnut stain, followed by Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil by finger 3 times and rubbing down with fine wire wool between coats. The result being very good with lovely grain patterns which could not be seen due to the original varnish finish - looks like walnut now! There is some debate as to whether some Challengers had walnut stocks, an old 80's AirgunWorld review even suggested walnut. My two Mercury S models have walnut as well as my Airsporter S, but are quite plain in character. Not sure what stock on my Challenger Carbine (original finish), but, I would say beech....
