Brazil Bean is Brazilian Walnut, a few European rifle makers occasionally use it on their rimfires. Zastava being one of them. I restoked a Sav 99 with Brazilian bean a few years ago and whilst not the hardest timber it did have lovely colour and feature
Myrtle, Blackwood and Qld maple are all suitable if the correct piece is chosen.
