I love my model 60, but ,as someone said, the stock looks like its made of pressed sawdust. It's lightweight, and has nice lines, but has anyone refinished the factory stock? I'm thinking of a dark walnut stain with a satin tung oil finish. I know factory stocks are cheap, but I would be interested in seeing some ideas before start sanding.

some nice results

Thanks for the ideas and photos. Some of those do look better than the factory finish! With birch it's hit and miss, just like shooting. I'm thinking of replicating the birch stock with a piece of walnut and maybe adding a few custom features like a slightly longer L.O.P., southpaw palm swell and a nicer buttplate:bthumb:
