Is this just sanded from the factory or is it sealed with something? Put a few coats of tung oil and once it dried it looked the same.

HW/Weihrauch HW97k stock finish

Unless the pores are filled walnut will keep drinking oil finishes. What’s your end goal ?
That stock could be a real looker with some work. Lots of chatoyance in that wood.

What do you mean by drinking? What work do you prefer? I want to have the wood semi glossy looking

My walnut 97K looks the same, though I haven't put anything on it yet.
In the same boat as you!

I think the op's stock looks pretty good as it is pictured in first post . Just a clean and oil periodically as needed if ever needed.. ( opinion)

If you want any type of semi gloss you will need to fill the pores with a blended oil type filler then wet sand the Finish in. The stock is already sanded and ready ,the wet sanding is done with fine paper and does not remove any shape
This is an example of a filled satin when looking at it but sheen across it fire arms finish.. There isn’t one Airgun manufacture that does a proper oil finish.
wiping oil on hungry wood is fruitless. It will seep in and after the 56 th coat you will start to get grain dish out build..
You can see how the grip is shadowing the light fully filled and sealed. It’s not the hardest and your not far off from filling. Once filled it’s very quick
NOTE… DONT USE TRU OIL. ….

Exactly... Like I said it's going to be as close to the semi gloss . Big a heck of a lot nicer
Maybe find a cheap hatssn turk walnut stock ( junk 95,) and have a practice stock to play on to learn

HW/Weihrauch - HW 80 build .22 long rifle.
This is a older HW 80 ,.22 I made for myself. I rarely use any barrel longer than 13 inches shrouded, to 17 with some internal work . However; I wanted this gun to look like a classic Remington 700 look It’s very accurate but took some time to get used to the ballance of 500mm barrel. 20 ft...

Was shopping for a gel stain today and came across this, carbon grey, I thought it looked cool, sorta like a laminate look for a stock. Has anybody here tried this on a HW stock, if so lets see some pics of your result?
This was at home depot, but several makers have this flovor.
