Just unpacked mine this morning. I’m afraid to say that I’ve made a BIG mistake.
I should’ve purchased TWO of them! They are sweet looking! Can’t wait to get to the range.
My advice to everyone: if you want a really nice looking rimfire bolt rifle, RUN and don’t just go and order one; better yet, order two or your ####’ll fall off! Lol

Very nice rifle, at a fantastic price! Now I want one... But I'm currently saving my nickles for a MP40-22lr...
Yes I have one in 22wmr and I will say that in the accuracy department its right up there with the Cz 452 and Walthers in my club. Never had an issue as yet with feeding and extraction using Hornady loads.

Has anybody “oiled “ their stock and if so need a little help
Was it “tung “ oil?
What make ?
Instructions
I’ve marine varnished chairs, 8 coats where the first coat was cut with 80% spirits and gradually reduced to just varnish , is this the same process?

I asked Gunco about this & he said to see if rain beads off the stock. If it does it's not an issue.
He also said if I wanted the stock refinished, he would use linseed oil.

Tru-Oil also works great!...
I use two to four coats of Tru-Oil, a little goes a long way. The end result is outstanding!

Tru-Oil®
Made in USA.
Have you prepped Zastava stock at all or is it good to go straight on?
Whatever finish is on the stock needs to be stripped prior to refinishing. Besides ensuring that the new finish penetrates properly into the grain, it will also get rid of the muddy-looking top coat that tends to mask the character of the wood.

I have no experience with this.
What do you gents use to strip the stock and does the checkering need to be recut afterwards?

Mine came yesterday and I don’t see any finish on it at all. You can still feel the fine wood fibres
Edit : Just rubbed some scotch brute on stock. Very thin coating,probably some type of lacquer. Go to
rimfirecentral.com
In the states there are some very good threads on refinishing, good tips on doing checkering

My Zastava 22 wmr stock gets a little thirsty looking sometimes and then I just give it a dose of Watco Danish oil as per the mfgr's instructions. I'm planning to add some rosewood to my stock and at that point I may just varnish it.

Some stock finishes can be sanded off with a fine grit sand paper. These MP22 rifles do not appear to have much of a finish on them.
There are several stock refinishing videos on you-tube. Very fine steel wool on the final sanding makes for an excellent look and feel after the Tru-Oil coats are applied. Steel wool sand between the Tru-Oil coats.
Good luck!.....
The sky is the limit to what you want the final look to be.

Just took mine apart to the bare wood. The exploded diagram does not match the gun. The bolt in front of the trigger guard is pillared(likes to fall out,the pillar). The bolt(?) behind the trigger guard came stripped. Mr Dremel had to be utilized (Crappy Tire cutoff discs useless , use Dremel discs). It’s not a bolt but a coarse wood screw. Removed the trigger guard and found a bolt and washer( not tight) securing the rear of the action. Now to start the striping process
Edit: By stripped I meant by the bit used to install the screw, no purchase for a bit or screw remover , a perfect circle

Mine looks the same. The second action screw and washer are accessible once the trigger guard is removed.
Too bad bad about the stripped screw. My rifle was in great shape save for a small indentation in the wood near the magazine release.

If you wanted to you could use some turpentine and a clean rag, stiff nylon brush(checkering) to prep before oiling.
