I can't give you the exact details but I have read that Birch is a dense wood. It takes a special pre-stain treatment to allow the stain you select to soak in to the grain better and more consistently. Your local hardware store should be able to advise you in just what to use. |

I’ve always wanted to stain mine to look like a USGI walnut stock….like you see on a Garand or M14 I’d like to parkerize it or GUNKOTE in in dark flat gray to look like parkerize Attached File |
| Strongly suggest removing every single metal or plastic item attached to the stock. Sand rough portions inside the stock if present. Use stain that does not contain polyurethane or similar so that you can re-apply stain if first coat is not dark enough. Tung oil as final waterproofing finish, over 100% of the surface of the stock, inside and out. There's a bit more to it than this bare outline, so read up. |
