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.




Thanks for the clarification. I still have one of the stocks and always thought it was very walnut like in apearance.
