That's funny Greg.....my stock looks just like the day it arrived.........first thing I did was wax it big time with Carnuba, rub it out, like I do all my guns......I've shot probably 5-700 rounds through it and still no scratches....?........Do you wear coats that have the buttons under a felt flap, or exposed......?.....

I'm very pleased with the finish and it holds up very well IMO, same as my 20 S&W which still remains unscratched after lot's of hunting and about 3-4K rounds through it...(as pictured above).......but I am careful with them and all my guns, wearing gloves always........

Best,

Doug
