Found a good deal on a CZ 452 American, mainly because the previous owner had dropped the rifle on the toe of the stock with the expected loss of a 2-inch long wedge from the stock. The home repair was not done well and I will cut the repair out and splice in a new piece of walnut selected to match the grain as best I can. I have repaired other stocks the same way, but on older guns with more wear where I am doing a complete strip and refinish. I would like to avoid stripping an otherwise pristine stock and was hoping to blend the repair into the existing finish. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for matching the stain and finish coat that CZ uses on their late model 452 Americans?
