Bought for $10 from local gun shop to rework then replace a synthetic stock for henry single shot bolt action. Pretty sure its birch. The other side looks the same-no divot for bolt...

The buttpad(?) is cut into the stock...

And the trigger guard is pretty plain...

I want to order a new stock like this from boyds in forest camo. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
 
Looks like a Chinese air gun stock. I still have the gun. If you want to sell I may be interested.

The stock? Sorry, I've already customized it for the bolt action... was hard to find a wooden stock that would allow the henry trigger to stick out far enough and had the bolt divot in proper spot. Got some kindling for the winter now anyways...

The stock appears to be beech, a much more commonly used wood for gunstocks than birch.

Well, its definitely not walnut. I put minwax water based stain tinted in american walnut on it to darken it up and bring out the grain and have the 5th coat of tru-oil on it. Its not turning out the greatest hence the make/model search to order boyds stock lol. If anyone knows of a single shot 22 with no provisions in stock for bolt I would appreciate that info as well...
 
Wrong color for beech. Most likely it is birch which is really fuzzy to stain without any blotchy spots.

No, that's the colour of beech. Both beech and birch are very light in colour. The tip off that it's beech are the medullary rays that are so prominent in beech. While birch has been used occasionally for gunstocks, beech is used much more often, especially for air rifle stocks. The end of the butt shown in the photo is typically found on air rifle stocks.

There were millions of birch stocked rifles made in the USSR (mosins), also millions of birch stocked rifles made in the USA (post war M1/M14). You can still get birch stocked rifles out of Russia today...not as common on this side of the pond of course.

That stock is birch... not beech.
 
I'll throw my hat in the "beech" corner too. Beech & Birch for that matter don't suck up stain for ####. I've always used the build up type stain/finishes like minwax to get an even tone out of it....
 
Beech... and if the stock was off an airgun, it would have been a spring piston so the front would have been cut out for the linkage to swing back during cocking: My guess to origin is a duplicated stock for a single shot 22LR.
