Gentlemen: It looks like there's a polymer finish of some sort on the stock, I don't particular care for this type of finish. *IMHO: it makes the gun look cheap. *There is real pretty wood on the gun, fiddle back walnut.
Any suggestion??????? *I'm thinking about sending the gun to Simons in Missouri or Cole's in Maine.
Problem is: *If I refinish stock with another type of sealer then the fore arm must be done the same.

If you just want to tone down the high gloss finish prep the tock by rubbing it down with mineral spirits then apply a couple coats of Formby dull finish Tung Oil lightly rubbing down between applications with 0000 steel wool to even out the finish after each application has thoroughly dried. I let the finish dry at least 24 hours between applications. Tung oil usually does not act a filler but just in case mask off the checkering. It is best to let the final coat cure for a week or so before you use the gun.
