I purchased a Benjamin Marauder Field and Target (LW) from PA last year. Looking at the description I see it says it has a “hardwood stock.” I am considering refinishing the stock. Does anyone know what hardwood is used?
Beech, for sure. I had a MK1 Mrod and thought the stock was so ugly, I had to reshape it. I don't know why Crosman can't make more eye appealing stocks. When I re-shaped mine, I took a pound of wood off it. After re-shaping, I tried to stain it, but the type of wood and the grain just wouldn't accept an even finish. Therefore, I sprayed it with truck bedliner paint.

That is the before and after?
I guess I stand corrected.
