Very worthwhile post! Thanks for the info, and congrats on how nice the 10-22 stock turned out. I'm looking at doing something very much like that on a B&C #2015 stock for my 40XB repeater conversion. If I order it with the textured black finish, it shouldn't be too hard to add some tan & OD, followed by the matte clear to wind up with something close to a GAP camo finish....I hope.
