CZ 457 MTR stock finish

[Bantam1]

So I spilled some MPro 7 on the stock in a small spot and it removed the finish. It seems like it is some sort of oil finish, but I can't tell. When i wiped off the spot if left a brown coloration on the rag. I called CZ and the kid that answered the phone sounded barely awake and I had to repeat what happened twice. I just wanted to know what they used so I could try and fix the spot. He essentially told me he had no idea, only the factory knows and they have no way to find out of ask...great CS.

Anybody here have an idea of what I could use? I tried searching through Google and found a bunch of people whining about the finish on some CZ stocks, but nothing on what could be used. I just want to find something that is a close match to protect the wood.

There is a very good chance it is a satin finish precat lacquer. That’s what most commercial finishes are because they dry really fast and are relatively durable. My suggestion would be to just get some Satin polyurethane and apply thin coats on the spot and try to blend it in.

The MTR has a different (oil) finish than other 457 models. I've not stripped any of the oil, but some tru-oil has been added to my stock:

Try-Oil is a combination of boiled linseed oil and polyurethane designed to be applied with a cloth. One thing to beware of is handeling the rags after you use them to apply that finish. Open the rags up and lay them outside to dry. Anything with BLO WILL spontaneously combust if you ball the rags up and throw them in a trash can. If you look at wood shop fires the vast majority can be traced back to oily BLO rags. I have tested the theory myself and would have said BS but I have watched rags burst into flame in front of my face. Just something to be aware of if you do use it. Personally I keep BLO out of my shop because of the fire hazard but mostly I hate the way it smells.

I have some Tung oil but it's a glossy finish and it much lighter than what is on the stock. I thought about BLO because I have used it to refinish a Garand stock. I'll get some of the Tru Oil and give it a shot.

There was some color to the finish because the rag was brown where the finish came off. So learn from my mistake, don't spill any cleaner on that wood.

Thanks guys
