Unfortunately, all the place that sell parts across the pond won't ship to anywhere but the U.K., so unless you can get AOA or PA to order you a stock well you know! your stuck with either refinishing what you have or buying a custom stock or hope someone has 1 lying around that's willing to sell that has upgraded their factory gun? way of the world!
It's too bad Boyd's or one of the other stock makers couldn't just put the original on a duplicator, at least then you could choose what wood you wanted, personally I think beech looks ugly as a mud fence regardless of how it's finished. Another way to put a finish on the stock would be to buy some crinckle coat spray paint, they make it in granite and several other colors > https://www.lowes.com/pd/Montana-Cans-Traffic-Black-Crackle-Spray-Paint-Actual-Net-Contents-11-25/5000285279?user=shopping&feed=yes&srsltid=AfmBOoqkjfqEqV5_-P4mODea4wP4CMZSMF-agvAw99MTUI30vyZXl4YA_Js

Well, maybe if I went and messed it up. I am not touching it.
Beech is a harder denser wood than Walnut. Because of this, it is a better choice for airgun stocks where you want to stock to absorb as much of the vibration as possible.Sure it is not as attractive... -Y

For as much as they charge for the stupid things all of them should come with walnut stocks in the first place!
