Mmmmmm....that is a beautiful piece of wood.
I love my black guns...but a nicely figured wood stock, well, it just gives me wood.
My 452 lux has "Turkish" walnut, not wuite as nice as yours though!Yeah, that stock is gorgeous!
I do not believe that it was refinished, I think that's just good ol' Czech forest walnut. Or beech. Not sure.
