When I purchased my 457 about 3 years ago I was shocked by what I knew was hiding beneath the thick, heavy slathering of that dark brown mud CZ just loves to coat their factory wood stocks with. I immediately wanted to remove it to see how beautiful the wood really was. But, having not ever fully stripped a rifle stock before and not positively knowing what type of finish it was I didnt want to make a mess of it so I just left it alone. Every time I took it out to shoot though I always had the deep desire to make it look nicer.
Now Im not unfamiliar with woodworking or applying a finish, Im a wooden shipwright by trade and also make some very nice furniture and have messed around with wood and woodworking pretty much since childhood.
Finally I just decided to jump in and do it, this is the result.
