I'd take it off, pack the hole with wood putty or something like that, sand it flush and spray paint it flat black and re-install.
People have different ideas on esthetics, and they're all valid. I would abhore the idea of painting wood on an iconic piece of air machinery such as an FWB300 - possibly a select walnut-stocked one. Others might wrap the whole thing in camo tape and go on their merry way. Some would paint bits and pieces as well as they can and be happy with it etc. etc.
JB Weld wood repair, sand/stain to match.

Get a stock maker to make a new one
Never anything like JB weld, or paint on my 40+ year old FWB300, or 124 d for thatmatter. The 300 has a walnut stock, buttstock rather plain but fro pistol grip forward there is some mild tiger strip that looks too good to alter.
