Update on my stock. Rubbed with turpentine then I rubbed it really hard with some steel wool until all the rough spots were smooth. Coated with tung oil and its looking and feeling way better. I will probably do more coats but even after just 1 its way nicer. Highly recommend.

Did you strip the original finish?
The only "stripping" i did was rubbing it with turpentine. That took off some of it. I did not do any sanding. Stock was very dry. Possible completely bare. The tung oil took extremely well. Keep in mind this stock is walnut so even when its bare it is decently dark. These stocks came barely finished if at all... They were probably finished with 1 coat of natural varnish or something
Edit: third coat is on and it is looking beautiful. I highly recommend sanding the inside of the stock (it looks like someone chiseled it by hand lol) and applying a coat of finish to the inside just to kep out moisture.

My stock is quiet dry as well. I'll probably going to refinish mine as well. I'm assuming you didn't recut the checkering? That's something I'd like to avoid.
I just used the turpentine with a toothbrush and then did the same toothbrush with the tung oil. Seems to have worked well. Just rub vigorously with a soft bristle.

I doubt you used polyurethane.... 
Maybe you used poly strip? Polyurethane is the opposite of what you want for a strip/prep before oiling a stock..... Turpentine,Mineral spirits,Naptha or even Isopropyl alcohol would also work.
Since the factory finish is so weak, even a water based Low VOC Eco type stripper should work well..... no need for the heavy duty furniture strippers.

Youre right i used turpentine. Need to pay more attention when I write these things lol. Hopefully no one used polyurthane ...

Thanks guys, I'll hopefully have a chance to hit the range this week, after that I'll take a shot at making her pretty.

Different question: I just had mine out to the range today. I noticed that the last round of each magazine would not smoothly feed. I had to force it. It appears as if the last round is somehow a bit angled coming out of the mag and into the chamber. Any suggestions?

In the states, I think they were replacing the springs in the magazines

If someone is running scope on their mp-22 and knocked your open sights off I'd like to purchase them from you. I got my mp-22 in a trade and it doesn't have sights.

Sounds like the left extractor needs to be re-profiled (rounded off) slightly... In Ottawa I bring all my stuff to Gunco... Fast turn around & top notch work.

I bought two of them and both work fine with CCI quiets but both will not extract standard velocity Winchester .22 ammo.
