Beautiful piece of wood, wish they would not use the stamp checkering otherwise would be easy to refinish and bring out details in the stock.
I was just a bit surprised when i pulled this one out of the box, a fair amount of character in the forend.. ..

Just get a single line cutter and an edger and re-trace all the lines deeper.Originally Posted by oldguy

While I rather like the wood on my new 93R17 GV..it doesn't have the character of that one.
If you strip it you will find a very ugly piece of wood. It just happens that the particular stain they use will bring it out. I have stripped a few with similar and even nicer grain and they look like mud unless a lot of work is put into them. It is not just a strip and recoat.
